Plumbing Installation
This product is supplied with barrel unions which accept 40mm PVC pipe.
In all cases, the pump must be installed so that the suction line of the pump slopes
from the pump to the bath suction cap with a recommended minimum gradient of
1:60 or 1 degree. This enables water to drain out of the pump when it is switched off.
The pump must be installed at a height ensuring the pump discharge outlet is
always below the water level in the bath. This prevents the pump from getting an air
lock (which causes the pump to not fully prime).
NOTE: Do not initiate pump operation without installing jet fittings to
provide correct minimum pressure to pump, failure to comply may
cause overheating.
NOTE: Suction and discharge piping, from the pump to the bath, MUST
be installed such that all water drains back to the bath when emptied,
and must be in accordance with local Health Department Regulations
(refer to the following diagram for correct installation).
NOTE: Barrel unions need to be hand tightened only. Do not use tools,
sealants, solvents, lubricants or thread tape. Use of these methods is
not required and may cause damage to the unions or the pump which
is not covered by warranty.

Initial Start Up
Before operating the pump, be sure that no debris or materials are left in the pipework which
may enter the pump and cause an obstruction to flow or damage to the pump.
1. Check all pipework is properly sealed and firmly fixed (only hand tighten barrel unions).
2. Fill the bath to the correct level and check pipework for leaks. Activate the pump, by
pushing the air button or touchpad switch. Check for leaks in the pipe work again.
3. Switch off the pump by pushing the air button or touchpad again.
