ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Their mains lead should be connected to a standard 230Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through
an approved plug or a suitably fused isolator switch. We strongly recommend that these
pumps be fitted with a Residual Current Device (RCD).
NOTE: This is MANDATORY when pump is used for pumping swimming pools and ponds
If the pump is to be connected to an outdoor electrical supply, make sure that both the
plug and the socket are of a BS approved waterproof design.
In the event that the pump is hard wired into the electrical system, it must be carried out in
accordance with IEE regulations.
If used for draining swimming pools or ponds, the pump MUST be fitted with a Residual
Current Device (RCD), with a rated residual operating current of no greater than 30mA.
