4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Pump Location
1) Locate pump as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to
reduce friction loss.
2) To avoid direct sunshine or heat, It is recommended to place pump indoor or in the shade.
3) DO NOT install pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep pump and motor at least
150mm away from obstacles,Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
4) The pump should be installed horizontally and fixed in the hole on the support with screws
to prevent unnecessary noise and vibration.
4.2. Piping
1) For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size. When installing
the inlet and outlet fittings (male adaptor), use thread sealant.
2) Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the same or larger than the return line
diameter, to avoid pump sucking air, which will affectefficiency of pump.
3) Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
4) For most installationswe recommend installing a valve on both the pump suction and return
lines so that the pump can be isolated during routine maintenance. However, we also
recommend that a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line should be no closer to the
front of the pump than five times the suction line diameter.
5)Pump outlet piping system should be equipped with a check valve to prevent pump from the
impact of medium recirculation and pump-stopping water hammer.
4.3. Valves and Fittings
1) Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet. Elbows should be no closer than 250mm
to the inlet. Joints must be tight. Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than the
discharge line diameter.
