INST 347 eCombi EE2 Pool & Spa Pump V08.20
5
E.
For pump installations 500mm above water level, it generally requires a foot valve at the pool or check valve in the
suction line. Suction lines must be installed below water level until just in front of pump location and vertical riser
used to reach pump inlet. AstralPool pumps are rated to a maximum head of 25 metres however refer to your pumps
data plate for actual achievable pressure.
F.
All pumps will operate quieter and perform more efficiently if a straight length of 450mm pipe is plumbed horizontally
into the front of the pump.
G.
Water temperature not to exceed 35C degrees.
H.
Pumps must be either
a.
Supplied by an isolated transformer, or
b.
Supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30mA.
OPERATION
1.
Switch on power to pump, motor to start.
2.
If some flow of water does not establish within on half minute, switch off and prime pump again. If pump does not prime
within 3 attempts, check all suction connections for sealing. If these are satisfactory, a check or foot valve is required to
hold water for prime.
3.
If the water flow through pump is always tedious to obtain at start-up after cleaning the lint basket, then an examination
of the system to establish a reason and correct the cause is recommended. Eg. Check valve, air leaks, faulty seal, cracked
lint pot lid, etc.
4.
The eCombi EE2 has 2 set speed settings – Low and High. High should be used when backwashing, manually vacuuming
the pool or operating spa jets or some water features such as waterfalls. Low speed can be used for gentle spa jet action,
when suction cleaner is connected to the skimmer or filtration for the pool. Low is the recommended setting for everyday
filtration of your pool when a cleaner is not connected.
5.
The eCombi EE2 will automatically start on High for the first 5 minutes to assist in priming and substantially fill the hair
and lint pot with water. After 5 minutes the pump will revert to the last speed it was set at before it was turned off.
6.
During normal operation, it is recommended that the pump be operated on Low for 12 hours per day. This will achieve
the lowest operating costs with the lowest noise level. Should your pool have areas where water is not turning over
when pump is on Low, increase the speed setting.
Notes: The appliance is not intended for use by person including young children or infirm persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Please ensure that young children are supervised to ensure that they do not play with the pump.
To avoid a safety hazard, the supply cord if damaged, must only be replaced by Astral Pool, or its service agent or a suitably
qualified person.
The eCombi EE2 pump is designed to operate in ambient temperatures of 2°C to 40°C.
Hours of Operation
On low speed your eCombi EE2 pump makes very little noise and is unlikely to be intrusive to you or your neighbours.
Generally, your pool filter pump should operate for a minimum of 8 hours a day to provide sufficient skimming (thereby
reducing the amount of debris that falls to the bottom of the pool) and to allow the chlorinator to provide sufficient chlorine
to sanitise your pool.
Greater energy savings occur when operating the pump for longer periods at the low speed instead of operating for shorter
periods at the high speed.
