TION AND

Please pass these instructions on to the owner of this equipment.

The installation of this product should be carried out by a person knowledgable 

in swimming pool plumbing requirements following the Installation Instructions 

provided in this manual.          

– 2 –

Prior to using this pump you must ensure that:

•  The pump is installed in a safe and dry environment

•  The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage

•  Any transport plugs are removed

•  The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported

•  The pump is primed correctly

•  The power supply is correctly connected

•  All steps have been taken for safe operation

Appropriate details for all of these items are contained in the following Installation 

and Operating Instructions. Read these in their entirety before switching on this 

pump. If you are uncertain as to any of these Installation and Operating Instructions 

please contact your Davey Dealer or the appropriate Davey office as listed on the 

back of this document.

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from the Davey range of 

Pool and Spa Equipment. You are assured of many years of reliable and efficient 

performance from your Davey PowerMaster backed by Davey’s three year 

guarantee.

Davey PowerMasters have been designed to circulate swimming pool and spa water 

in conditions set out in the Australian Standard for swimming pool water quality (AS 

3633) or equivalent. They should not be used for any other purpose without first 

consulting your Davey Dealer or the Davey Customer Service Centre.

Davey design and build its own electric motors especially for its pumps. The 

matched motor and “pumping end” are designed to provide the quietest operation 

while delivering maximum water flow.

Davey’s totally enclosed fan-cooled motor incorporates “autostart” overload 

protection with a built-in automatic thermostat designed to protect the motor from 

overheating.

Every Davey PowerMaster is thoroughly water tested against a number of flow, 

pressure, voltage, current and mechanical performance parameters. Davey`s 

advanced pump manufacturing technology provides reliable and efficient pumping 

performance that lasts and lasts.

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 such that the nameplate can be 

easily read and it can readily accessed for service.

Weather Protection

It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Enclosures should 

be ventilated to prevent condensation build-up and allow a free flow of air for the fan 

cooled motor.

Power Connection

Davey PowerMaster’s are suitable for connection to a nominal 240 (for 415 volt refer 

to page 7) volt 50Hz power supply and are equipped with a flex and 3 pin plug. If 

a power outlet is not available within 3 metres of the pump, a 3 pin power point in 

a safe, dry place, may need to be provided by an electrician. Extension cords are 

unsafe around pools - and should be avoided. If the supply cord of this product is 

damaged it must be replaced by the Dealer or manufacturer, with genuine Davey 

spares.

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).

NOTE:  PowerMaster Pool Pumps are fitted with an internal check valve to reduce 

reverse flow of water through the pump.          

Warning! Ensure that an electrical isolation switch is located with easy 

access so that the pump can be switched off in an emergency.

The fittings on this product are constructed of ABS. Some PVC jointing 

compounds are incompatible with ABS. Check compound suitability 

before use.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 

appliance.

Davey Water Products recommends that all installations are fitted with 

earth leakage or residual current protection devices.

CAUTION: In the interest of safety, we advise that all brands and types of 

pool pumps must be installed in accordance with AS3000 wiring rules or 

equivalent.

This appliance 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.

If the pump and filter are located below pool water level, it is necessary 

to fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and the skimmer box 

and in the return pipe from the filter to the pool.

Barrel unions need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or silicones are 

required.
