1. Plan the position of the pump
2. Piping
The pump must be installed and serviced by a suitably qualified person in
order to avoid hazard. Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail,
causing severe injury or property damage.
These instructions are a guide only. Should you the installer or owner of
the product be unfamiliar with the correct installation or operation of this
product you should contact a suitably qualified person for advice.
Do not connect system to high pressure or mains water system.
This pump is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
pump.
The EnviroMAX 800 is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from
electrical supply during installation and any subsequent service work.
a. Have enough ventilation to keep ambient temperature below the motor’s rated ambient temperature
whenever the pump is running. If installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have
adequate ventilation (200sq.cm min, inlet & outlet) and air circulation Allow 200mm to keep rear of
motor clear.
b. Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding and be protected from excess moisture.
c. Be solid, level, rigid and vibration free.
d. To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount. Fixing holes accept 12mm fasteners.
e. Be within 2m of a power outlet for electrical connection (refer to AS/NZS 3000 for rules regarding
connection ofelectrical equipment in pool zones).
f. Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
a. Use only Australian Standard PVC pressure pipe. For best performance use at least 50mm diameter
pipe for all connections to the pump. Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connections
(50mm) and use larger pipe for long suction distances.
b. To avoid stress on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes independently. Place these
supports as close to the pump as possible.
c. To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the pump and run pipe away
from the pump.
For best performance, allow pump
suction inlet height to be as far
below water level as possible and
allow the use of short, direct suction
pipe with minimum bends (to reduce
friction losses).
