1. DESCRIPTION
1.1.
These electropumps have been designed to recirculate lightly treated wa-
ter in private and public swimming pools.
1.2. Technical characteristics
2. GENERAL
2.1. Introduction.
This Handbook contains the instructions necessary for ins-
tallation, use and maintenance of the swimming pool electropump. In order to
obtain the maximum performance shown in the Description of Characteristics,
it is necessary to fulfil and follow correctly all the recommendations given in
this-Handbook. This will allow operation with a safe and long-lasting piece of
equipment.
The equipment supplier will furnish the user with complementary information,
if required.
2.2. Safety signs used in the handbook
All instructions referring to possible risks to persons are highlighted by the fo-
llowing symbols:
Other instructions in relation to the functioning of the equipment with which
non-compliance could cause physical damages are highlighted with the war-
ning:
ATTENTION
2.3. Nameplate ratings (EEC 89/392 P.1.7.4.A).
The information given on the
nameplate or other instructions affixed to the unit, must be strictly complied
with. The content of these plates can usually be found in this Handbook
(Chapter 1.2.).
2.4. Liability.
Failure to comply with the instructions given by BOMBAS PSH
in this Handbook, in relation to the choice, handling, installation, starting and
maintenance of the unit, shall release the manufacturer or distributor from all
liability in respect of accidents suffered by persons or damages caused to other
installations and, in addition, shall entail forfait of the warranty.
2.5. Standards.
Our swimming pool electropumps are manufactured in accor-
dance with the necessary requeriments for safety and health set forth in
Community Directives 89/392/EEC,91/368/EEC (assimilated into Spanish Law
by Royal Decrees 1435/1992 and 93/44/EEC).
3. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO USER SAFETY
3.1.
Safety during operation of the machinery supplied can only be gua-
ranteed if it is used in accordance with the diagrams show “Illustra-
tions”. It must never exceed the working conditions and limits given in this
Handbook (Chapter 1.2. - Technical Characteristics). Compliance with the pro-
visions of Safety Standards in force in each country is mandatory.
3.2.
Please ensure that the equipment selected is adequate for the used
for witch it is intented and that its condition, installation, starting and
subsequent use are correct. See chapter 1.2. (Technical Characteristics).
3.3.
Installation, repair and maintenance operations will be carried out
in all cases with the equipment disconnected from the mains.
3.4.
While the equipment is functioning, it cannot be moved or reposi-
tioned. These operations will be carried out at all times with the machi-
ne disconnected.
3.5.
Pressing of the electrical on/off or safety elements will not be per-
formed where there is damp, and special care must be taken for user’s
hands to be dry, and also with footwear and surfaces with which the user is in
contact.
3.6.
Those elements of the equipment which, when functioning, are in
movement or which could reach dangerous temperatures, will be pro-
tected with cages or casings which will prevent accidental contact with the sa-
me.
3.7.
Electricity conductors, or parts which could carry current, will be
suitably insulated. Other metal parts of the equipment will be correctly
earthed.
3.8.
Spare parts that may be necessary will be originals from the manu-
facturer or those recommended by the manufacturer. The use of others,
are not permitted and
release
the manufacturer or distributor from all liability.
4. PACKING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
4.1. ATTENTION.
The manufacturer supplies the equipment protected in suitable packaging, so
that it is not damaged during transport or storage thus ensuring its correct ins-
tallation and/or functioning.
4.2. ATTENTION.
The user, upon receipt of the equipment, will immediately check the following
points:
l
Condition of the outside packaging, if this shows signs of serious deterioration,
he shall formally advise the person delivering the equipment.
l
He shall also check the condition of the contents; should this show defects
which would presumably prevent correct functioning, he shall also formally no-
tify the supplier within a period not exceeding 8 days from the date of delivery.
4.3. ATTENTION
Storage conditions must ensure the optimum preservation of the equipment.
Due to its particular relevance, we must stress that very damp atmospheres or
others where extreme changes in temperatures (which cause condensation)
must be avoided.
5. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
5.1. Location. ATTENTION.
The place where the electropump is to be located must be dry. In all events,
there must be a drain in the floor as a prevention against flooding. If the pump
is to be located in a damp place, a ventilation system must be provided in or-
der to prevent the formation of condensation.
In the case of very confined areas, cold air can reach a low temperature which
requires a ventilation system where by the it does not exceed 40ºC. It is im-
portant for there to be sufficient space to permit the motor block to be dis-
mounted horizontally and the hair filter vertically (see minimum space diagram
in fig. 1).
5.2. Positions / Installation
ATTENTION
The equipment or set of motor pump, filter and selection valve, will be insta-
lled near the swimming pool at a distance of no more than 3 m, from the sur-
face skimmers and preferably at a level of 0,5m (never more than 3m) below
the level of the water, in order to achieve its “under load” functioning. The se-
lection valve junction, and its connection to the nozzle and other accessories
incorporated in the swimming pool will preferably be made in PVC pipe.
Pipe diameters will depend on flows. The maximum water speed advisable in
the pipes will be 1.2 m/s in suction and 2m/s in impulsion. In any event, the
diameter of the suction pipe must not be less than the diameter of the pump
nozzle.
The suction pipe must be perfectly watertight and must be installed with a
downward inclination, thus avoiding the formation of air pockets. In perma-
nent installations, with the pump positioned at a higher level than that of the
water, it is advisable for the longest strech of the suction pipe to be below the
levels mentioned until it reaches the vertical pipe which coincides with the
pump suction line.
The suction pipe can be either rigid or flexible with a reinforced coil to avoid
contraction. In fixed installations, with the pump below the water level, a shut-
off valve will be placed on the suction pipe and another on the header pipe.
5.3. Connection to the mains
ATTENTION

In general terms, the electrical installation will fully comply with
the Regulations and Complementary Technical provisions appli-
cable and will be performed by an authorised Installer.
