Installation Manual
Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local
codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
WARNING
A check valve can interfere with the proper operation of certain Suction Vacuum Release System
(SVRS) products. To avoid possible entrapment hazard, serious injury, or death, make sure to review
the operation/owners manual of your particular SVRS product before installing the check valve.
WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not block pump suction, as this can cause severe injury or death. Do not
use this pump for wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is
connected to at least two (2) functioning suction outlets. Drain covers must be certified to the latest
published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or it’s successor standard ANSI/APSP-16. In Australia
AS1926.3 is also an acceptable standard.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to change the backwash (multiport, slide,
or full flow) valve position with the pump running.
WARNING
AstralPool Pumps are powered by a high-voltage electric motor and must be installed by a licensed or
certified electrician or a qualified swimming pool service technician.
WARNING
Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
WARNING
The pump is for fixed installations only and to be used in conjunction with swimming pool equipment.
(e.g. filters). The pump is to be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian
wiring rules AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the swimming pool
equipment for which the pump will be an integral part. The pump is to be supplied through a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of 30mA. If the supply cord is damaged it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid
hazard.
WARNING
• Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized
water producing pressures greater than 250 KPA (35 PSI).
• Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious
personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is out of the system before operating.
