- 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 making 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
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.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

- It is essential that you use a multiple disconnection device with a space of at least 3 mm between surfaces
to disconnect the unit from the electrical current.
- Use a rigid cable to connect the pump to the mains. If you use a flexible cable to connect it to the mains, it
must have cable lugs to connect it to the terminals of the pump's motor.
- The unit should be connected to an alternating current supply (see data on the pump's plate) with an earth
connection, protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current that does
not exceed 30 mA.
- Adjust the value of the ground fault circuit interrupter in line with pump intensity.
- Before connecting the motor, check the type of fuse required.
- Check the layout and connection of the earthing cable in the unit.
