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.
USAGE WARNING
The TVS Pro is manufactured with technological advances including PCB’s and microchips. It is
necessary to turn power off completely for 10 seconds prior to turning pump back on again
Some brands of older style chlorinators may release a small amount of power to the TVS
PROeven whilst it seems turned off. It this occurs the TVS PROmay not reset correctly until
power is completely disconnected.
In some cases, chlorinator manufacturers may be able to modify internal components so as to
work in with the V3PRO. If not a suitable chlorinator may be required.
Theralux’s
chlorinator completely disconnects power to the pump when the pump is in off mode.
