4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Pump Location
THE PUMP MUST BE INSTALLED:
1) Before the filter, heating system and/or water treatment unit.
• At a distance of 2 meters from the edge of the pool, to prevent water from splashing the
unit. Some standards allow other distances. Consult the standards in force in the country of
installation.
2) Install the pump as close to the pool as possible, to reduce friction loss and improve efficiency,
use short, direct suction and return piping.
3) To avoid direct sunshine, heat or rain, it is recommended to place the pump indoors or in
the shade.
4) Install the pump in a ventilated location. Keep pump and motor at least 100mm away from
obstacles, pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
5) The pump should be installed horizontally and fixed in the hole on the support with screws
to prevent unnecessary noise and vibration.
THE PUMP MUST NOT BE INSTALLED:
• In an area susceptible to rainfall and splashing.
• Near a heat source or source of inflammable gas.
• In an area that cannot be cleaned or kept free of leaves, dry vegetation and other inflam-
mable items.
• In Zone 0 (Z0) and Zone 1 (Z1), (Figure 2).
