3.2 PIPING
1. For improved pool plumbing efficiency, it is recommended to
use the largest pipe size available. Pipeline Pumps come with
a recommended 2-1/2” union.
2. Plumbing size on the suction side of the pump should be the
same or larger than the return line size.
3. Total plumbing run on the suction side of the pump should
be as short as possible in order minimize pump cavitation.
4. AquaStar recommends plumbing the suction side of the
pump with a straight run of pipe equal to (5) times the pipe
diameter before any valve, elbow, or tee. See Figure 2.
Example: A 2 1/2” pipe requires a 12.5” (318 mm) straight run
5. For most installations, AquaStar recommends installing a
valve on both the pump suction and return lines so that the
pump can be isolated during routine maintenance.
Note: Do not install 900 elbows directly into the pump inlet or outlet.

SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified service professional in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation
will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due
to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do
so could result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
Note: ALWAYS reinstall the cover onto the field wiring compartment when leaving the pump
unsupervised during servicing. This will prevent foreign matter (i.e. rainwater, dust, etc.) from
accumulating in the drive.
Note: When connecting the pump to an automation
system, continuous power must be supplied to the
pump by connecting it directly to the circuit breaker.
When using an automation system, be sure that no
other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.
Note: When controlling the pump with a relay, or
timer be sure to use two-pole devices so that power
is always supplied and removed to both HOT LINES
simultaneously
Note: If GFCI circuit breaker protection is required, the pump should be ground wired on its own
independent circuit. AquaStar Pool Products recommends using a Siemens Class A Double Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter.
