Pipe Sizing Chart
Pipe Size in. [mm]
1 ½" [50]
2" [63]
2 ½" [75]
3" [90]
* Note: It is recommended that a minimum length of straight piping (shown as "L" in above diagram), equivalent to 5 pipe size
diameters, be used between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings (elbows, valves, etc.).
When installing the E.swim, care should be taken to ensure proper pipe and equipment sizing to handle the
maximum flow required.
It is recommended to set the maximum flow limit in order to not exceed the maximum flow rate. (See section 6.2.1.5 Pump
Limits).
The maximum allowable pipe size is 3" [90 mm].
WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components of a swimming pool filtration system operate
under pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
In the case of electropumps without a cable, provide power cables type H05 RN-F for internal use and type H07RN-F for external
use, complete with plug (EN 60335-2-41). If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by their
authorised technical assistance service, so as to avoid any risk.

Plumbing
1. Use Teflon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned
before use. NOTE - Do NOT use Plumber's Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic components. When applying Teflon
tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the m ale fitting with one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as
you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. The pump suction and outlet ports have molded -in thread
stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage.
Tighten fitting by hand and then use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using Teflon tape as friction is
reduced considerably; do NOT over -tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old Teflon
tape, re -wrap with one to two additional layers of Teflon tape, and re -install connector.
2. Fittings (elbows, tees, valves, etc.) restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings that could cause
an air trap. Pool and spa fitting s MUST conform to the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO)
standards.

Electrical connection to the supply line
To improve immunity to the possible noise radiated towards other
appliances it is recommended to use a separate electrical duct to supply
the product.
Attention: always respect the safety regulations!
Electrical installation must be carried out by an expert,
authorized electrician, who takes on all responsibility.
The system must be correctly and safely earthed as required
by the regulations in force.
The mains voltage must be the same as that
on the motor data plate.
a two-pole switch, with contact opening distance of at
least 3 mm. The thermal magnetic circuit breaker and the
power cables must be correctly sized.
The system must be adequately sized. The pump must be fed by means of an isolation transformer or a differential switch, which must have a
differential operating current no higher than 30 mA.
The mains terminals may still have dangerous voltage when the motor is stopped and for a few minutes after disconnecting from the
power mains.
