3. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
GENERAL
- Our pumps may only be assembled and installed in pools or ponds that are compliant with stan-
dard HD 384.7.702. Should you have any doubts, please consult your dealer.
- The installation should follow standard IEC 60364-7-702 for swimming pools.
- The pump can be installed in zones 1 or 2.
- Fit the pump horizontally in order to accommodate 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
parts inside the pump.
- All pumps are fitted with a stand with holes in it to anchor it to the ground (Fig. 1).
PIPING
- To connect the piping, glue the pipes and the connectors, supplied together with the pump; the
fitting connections to the suction and return ports on the pump are threaded and include seals to
prevent water loss (Fig. 2).
- Fit the return pipes completely perpendicular and centered in relation to the port to be connected
to prevent the pump and the pipe from being subjected to external stress, which apart from ma-
king fitting difficult, could break them (Fig. 2).
- Fit the suction piping on a slight 2% slope towards the pump to avoid the formation of air pockets
(Fig. 2).
- To ensure the pump works correctly, prime the pump pre-filter until water rises up through
the suction pipe (Fig. 3).
LOCATION
- Fit the pump below the water level in the pool to improve pump performance.
- If a self-priming pump is to be fitted above the water level, the pressure differential to the pump
suction pipe should not be higher than 0.02 MPa (2 mH
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.
