5.
The pump foundation must have adequate
drainage to prevent the motor from getting wet.
The pump needs to be protected from the rain
and sun.
6.
Proper ventilation is required for the pump to
operate normally. All motors generate heat that
must be removed by providing proper ventilation.
7.
Provide access for future service by leaving a
clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of
space above the pump to remove the lid and
basket for cleaning.
8.
If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
3.1.3 Pipe Sizing
notE
All HP ratings given in this section apply to full-rated
pumps. For help with max-rated pumps, contact
Zodiac Technical Support at 800.822.7933.
3.1.3.1
Suction Pipe
When the pump is located up to 50 feet from the pool, the
recommended minimum pipe size for the suction side of
the pump is:
•
2" for .75 to 1.5 HP*
•
2½" for 2.0 HP*
•
3" for 3.0 HP*
•
4" for 5.0 HP*
* HP refers to full-rated pumps
3.1.3.2
discharge Pipe
When the pump is located up to 50 feet from the pool, the
recommended minimum pipe size for the discharge side
of the pump is:
•
2" for .75 to 1.5 HP*
•
2½" for 2.0 HP*
•
3" for 3.0 HP*
•
4" for 5.0 HP*
* HP refers to full-rated pumps
notE
All pipe sizes are able to withstand the pressures the
pump will deliver, but not necessarily the flow. If the
pipe is too small for the pump, or it is elevated above
water, the maximum gallons per minute (GPM) may
not be delivered. If this happens, the pump will develop
an air pocket (cavitation) that will make noise and the
pump life will be shortened.

3.1 Plumbing
3.1.1 Preparation
1.
Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump
for concealed damage, such as cracks, dents or a
bent base. If damage is found, contact the shipper
or distributor where you purchased the pump.
2.
Inspect the contents of the carton and verify
that all the parts are included. See Section 7.1,
Replacement Parts List.
3.1.2 Pump location
1.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends installing
the pump within one (1) foot above the water
level. The pump should not be elevated more
than a few feet above the water level of the pool.
A check valve is recommended on the suction
line to the pump.
notE
Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump is
installed as close as possible to the water level of the
pool.
2.
If the pump is located below water level,
isolation valves must be installed on both the
suction and return lines to prevent back flow
of pool water during any routine or required
servicing.
Warning
Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) devices
are not compatible with installation of check valves. If
the pool has an SVRS device, be sure to confirm that it
will continue to safely operate when any check valves
are installed.
3.
The pump and other circulation equipment must
be located more than five (5) feet from the water.
Choose a location that will minimize turns in the
piping.
notE
In Canada, the pump must be located a minimum of
three (3) meters [approximately ten (10) feet] from the
water (CSA C22.1).
4.
The pump must be placed on a solid foundation
that will not vibrate. To further reduce the
possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to
the foundation.
notE
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends bolting the
pump directly to the foundation.
