INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
The pump should be located as close to the water as practicable and mounted on a firm base in a well-
drained position, high enough to prevent any flooding. It is the installer’s/owners responsibility to locate
the pump so that it can be accessed for service and maintenance.
The rear fan shroud should be installed at a
minimum distance of 100 mm away from any walls or
obstructions
. This is to allow adequate air flow from the fan to cool the motor.
Overheating due to a lack of cooling voids warranty.
WEATHER PROTECTION
It is recommended that the pump be protected from the weather.
Enclosures should be ventilated to allow a free flow of air for the fan cooled motor.
POWER CONNECTION
Oasis Aquatics PLT Series Pool & Spa Pump
are suitable for connection to a nominal 240-volt 50Hz
power supply.
The motor is equipped with a flex and 3-pin plug. If a power outlet is not available within 2 meters of the
pump, a 3-pin power point in a safe, dry place may need to be provided by an electrician.
Note:
• Pumps must be either
Supplied by an isolating transformer,
or
Supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA
• Extension cords are unsafe around pools and must be avoided
• If the supply cord of this product is damaged the dealer or manufacturer must replace it, with
genuine
Oasis Aquatics
pool and spa pump spares
• Water temperature is not to exceed 45 degrees
PIPE CONNECTION
A barrel union is provided for connecting to the piping from the pool.
The pumps are designed to accept the following PVC Pipes:
• Inlet PVC Position 40mm pipe ID or 50mm fitting ID PVC pressure pipe fittings
• Outlet PVC Position 40mm pipe ID or 50mm fitting ID PVC pressure pipe fittings
The use of pipe with a smaller ID than those specified above is not recommended and may cause
damage to the pump voiding warranty.
A straight length of pipe measuring no less than 300mm should be installed in front of the inlet of the
pump allowing quieter and smoother operation.
Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows, which may cause suction
difficulties.
The outlet piping from the pump should be connected to the inlet connection on the swimming pool filter
(at the filter valve). For pump installations above water level, it generally requires a check valve in the
suction line.
Do not use type ‘P’ (green) plumber’s glue on the barrel unions as this may cause damage to the
material used.
Always install pump for maintenance and service accessibility.
