Pool Pump Suction Entrapment Prevention Guidelines - Jandy ePump Pro Serie Manual De Instalación Y Operación

Page 6
ENGLISH
The Jandy Pro Series ePump + SVRS has been designed to operate with Jandy control systems.
Operating the pump with other manufacturers' controllers may cause software failure of the pump, drive
or other system components. This failure can result in severe personal injury (i.e., failure of the SVRS
system, electrical shock) or death.
Entrapment Avoidance Notice: Drain covers must be certified to the latest published edition
of ANSI /ASME A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. These covers should be
® ®
inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design lifetime indicated on
them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible flow rate of this pump should be less than or equal
to the maximum approved flow rate indicated on the suction outlet cover by the manufacturer. THE
USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS
ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR
ENTANGLEMENT, EVISCERATION AND DEATH.

Pool Pump Suction Entrapment Prevention Guidelines

SUCTION HAZARD. Can cause serious injury or death. Do not use this pump for wading
pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless pump is connected to at
least two (2) functioning suction outlets.
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate
swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. The
following guidelines provide information for pump installation that minimizes risk of injury to users of
pools, spas, and hot tubs:
Entrapment Protection - The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazards of
suction entrapment.
Suction Outlet Covers - All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place.
All suction outlet (drain) covers must be properly maintained. They must be replaced if cracked, broken,
or missing. Drain covers must be listed/certified to the latest published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8
or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. The pool must be shut down and bathers must be restricted
from entering the pool until any cracked, broken, or missing drain covers are replaced.
Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump - Provide at least two (2) hydraulically-balanced suction outlets,
with covers, as suction outlets for each circulating pump suction line. The centers of the suction outlets
(suction outlets) on any one (1) suction line must be at least three (3) feet apart, center to center. See
Figure 1.
The system must be built to include at least two (2) suction outlets (drains) connected to the pump
whenever the pump is running. However, if two (2) suction outlets run into a single suction line, the single
suction line may be equipped with a valve that will shut off both suction outlets from the pump. The
system shall be constructed such that it shall not allow for separate or independent shutoff or isolation of
each drain. See Figure 1.
Additional pumps can be connected to a single suction line as long as the requirements above are met.
