SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pump Location
Locate pump as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to
reduce friction loss. Suction lines should have continuous slope upward from lowest point in
line. Joints must be tight (but not over-tightened). Suction line diameter must equal or be
larger than the discharge line diameter.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical
components from the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it
rains. Do NOT install pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump
motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
2. Pump Mounting
Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and national codes. Fasten pump
to base or pad with screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose
joints. The base MUST be solid, level, rigid, and vibration free.
2.1. Pump mount must:
a: Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
b: Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
c: Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
d: Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
e: Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
2.2. PIPE ASSEMBLY
The suction and discharge pipes should have a diameter equal to or greater than that of
the intake tapping of the pump.
Avoid traps as, in addition to affecting efficiency, they impede total overall emptying. The
suction and discharge pipes should not rest on the pump in any case.
Seal all the connectors and unions well. Avoid any dripping on the motor, which would
unfailingly damage it.
