Pipe Connection
A barrel union is provided for connecting to the piping from the pool. The
barrel unions are designed to accept 40mm PVC on the ID or a 50mm PVC
fitting on the OD.
When plumbing the discharge pipe, ensure that the pipework does not interfere
with the touchpad’s protective cover, which needs to fully open and close.
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).
Barrel unions need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or silicones
are required.
Prior to using this pump you must ensure that:

from discharge does
not interfere with
