INSTALLATION

DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
When installing, please ensure pump is disconnected from electrical supply.
WARNING
Protect the pump and all pipes from bad weather or freezing conditions.
• All SWIMMEY pumps are self-priming
• If the pump is used to suck water, it
is advisable to install it as close as
possible to the source
• All pumps should be installed in a
ventilated area to ensure sufficient air
for cooling purposes
• Suction pipes should be air-sealed and
show no signs of bends and/or counter
slopes to avoid the formation of air
locks that could impair the regular
operation of the pump

• MAXIMUM SUCTION HEIGHT
(recommended):
3 m (with foot valve)
• Pumps installed below the water level
should be insulated from the system
• It is advisable to fit an on-off valve both
on the delivery and suction side
• Pipes should be fitted in a position that
protects the pump from vibrations,
stresses and loads
• Therefore, pipe routes should be as
short and direct as possible and avoid
an excessive number of bends to limit
load losses
• MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE:
2,5 bar
• The delivery and suction pipes of
Swimmey 33 should have a minimum
diameter of 3"
• It is also necessary to make sure that
there is sufficient space around the
pump for maintenance purposes
