4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Pump Location
1) Install the pump as close to the pool as possible, to reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short,
direct suction, and return piping.
2) DO NOT install the pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep pump and motor at least 150mm
away from obstacles, pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
3) The pump should be installed horizontally and fixed to a base with screws to prevent unnecessary noise
and vibration.
4.2. Piping
1) For optimization of the pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a pipe with size of 2''. When installing
the inlet and outlet fittings ( joints), use the special sealant for PVC material.
2) The dimension of suction line should be the same or larger than the inlet line diameter, to avoid pump
sucking air, which will affect the efficiency of the pump.
3) Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
4) For most installations we recommend installing a valve on both the pump suction and return lines, which
is more convenient for routine maintenance. However, we also recommend that a valve, elbow, or tee
installed on the suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump than seven times the suction line
diameter.
5) Pump outlet piping system should be equipped with a check valve to prevent the pump from the impact
of medium recirculation and pump-stopping water hammer.
