Pipe Connection
Barrel unions are provided for connecting to the piping from the pool.
The pumps are designed to accept 40mm/50mm PVC fittings.
When plumbing the discharge pipe, ensure that the pipework does not
interfere with the pumps speed dial.
The use of any pipe smaller than those specified above is not recommended.
Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows
which cause suction difficulties.
The discharge piping from the pump outlet should be connected to the inlet
connection on the swimming pool filter (usually at the filter control valve).
