3. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

GENERAL
- Our pumps may only be assembled and installed in pools or ponds that are compliant with HD 384.7.702. Should
you have any doubts, please consult your specialist.
- Fit the pump horizontally due to the pre-filter. The pumps are fitted with a pre-filter with a basket inside to collect
any large particles, as they may damage the hydraulic part inside the pump.
- All pumps are fitted with a foot with holes in it to anchor it to the ground (Fig. 1).
PIPING
- Connect the pump's terminals to the corresponding hoses, tightening them firmly with the clamps. (Fig.1)
- To ensure the pump works correctly, prime the pump pre-filter until water rises up through the suction pipe
(Fig. 2).
LOCATION
- Fit the pump underneath the water level in the pool to improve pump performance.
- Where a self-priming pump is to be fitted above the water level, the pressure differential to the pump suction should
not be higher than 0.02 MPa (2 mH2O), ensuring that the suction pipe is as short as possible, as a longer pipe
would increase suction time and the installation's load losses.
- Make sure that the pump is safe from possible flooding and receives dry ventilation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

- It is essential that you use a multiple disconnection device with a space of at least 3 mm between surfaces to
disconnect the equipment from the electrical current.
- The electrical installation should be done by someone qualified in working with electrical equipment. This
equipment is not designed for those with physical, sensory or mental handicap or people lacking in experience,
unless done under supervision or with instructions of use from a person in charge of safety.
Do not permit children nor adults to sit or lean on the equipment. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the equipment.
- Adjust the value of the thermal relay appropriately depending on the pump current.
Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection (Fig.3).
- Respect the electrical installation and connection conditions. Failure to do so may lead to the pump manufacturer
declining all responsibility and rendering the guarantee null and void.
- Special regulations may exist for the installation.
- Unsuitable mains connections involve the risk of electrocution.
