INSTALLATION AND SETUP

5.1 Location
Access to the pump or installation should be restricted, so that anyone can access it
inadvertently and specially must have secure items to prevent access by children that
should never stay in the equipment location while the pump works.
The location must be dry. Must always be a sufficient size drain in the bottom ground to
prevent flooding. If the pump is installed in a wet room a ventilation system must be
provided to prevent from condensation water.
Motor pump is cooled by means of air, installing the pump in tight spaces, or in very hot
climes may become in air cooling being not enough or null if necessary aeration (forced
ventilation) should be provide in order not to exceed the ambient temperature of 40 ° C.
It is important to reserve enough space to remove the engine block horizontally for repair
and also enough space to remove the pre-filter vertically for cleaning and maintenance.
It is also important to avoid obstacles that may avoid a correct air cooling of the engine and
provide enough space for the regular inspections and maintenance.
Do not run the pump with the keys locked, this would increase the temperature of the liquid
and vapor bubbles form inside the pump.
Do not run the pump with the valves keys locked, this would increase the temperature of
the liquid and steam bubbles inside the pump.

5.2 Installation Lay out

The pump equipment, has to be installed as close as possible to the pool. This distance
should not exceed 5 m from surface jacks (skimmer / overflow), (for greater distances,
consider the pressure drop of the pipes).
In the under load normal operation of the pump, a distance - 0.5 m - 3 m from the water
level to the pump shaft height must be respected. The union of the pipes with the pump
body will be preferably of a PVC material. The diameter of the pipes depends on the flow.
Provide pipe Ø so that the maximum speed of the water does not exceed 1 m/s at the inlet
and 2.5 m/s on the drive mouth. In any case, the diameter of the suction pipe must not be
less than the diameter of the drive pipe.
The suction pipe must be perfectly sealed and must be installed with an upward slope in
the direction of water direction (not less than 1/100), thus preventing the formation of air
bubbles.
In all under load installations, a suction valve and a drive valve should be placed. If the
suction valve is not a gate one, it has to be assembled with the wheel shaft horizontally.
