Hayward Flow Control
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PRIOR TO INSTALLING AND USING
HAYWARD LifeStar
TM
SERIES AQUATIC PUMP. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN PRODUCT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR EVEN
DEATH.
1.
Hayward Flow Control (Hayward), a division of Hayward Industries, guarantees its products against defective material and
workmanship only. Hayward assumes no responsibility for property damage or personal injury resulting from improper
installation, misapplication, or abuse of any product.
2.
Hayward assumes no responsibility for property damage or personal injury resulting from chemical incompatibility between its
products and the process fluids to which they are exposed. Determining whether a particular PVC, CPVC, or PP product is
suitable for an application is the responsibility of the user. Chemical compatibility charts provided in Hayward literature are
based on ambient temperatures of 70°F and are for reference only.
3.
Hayward products are designed for use with non-compressible liquids.
WARNING
Hayward PVC and CPVC products should NEVER be used or tested with compressible fluids such as
compressed air or nitrogen. Use of PVC and CPVC products in compressible fluid applications may result in
product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death.
4.
The maximum recommended fluid velocity through any Hayward product is eight feet per second (8 ft/s). Higher fluid velocity
can result in damage due to the water hammer effect.
5.
Piping systems must be designed and supported to prevent excess mechanical loading on Hayward products due to system
misalignment, weight, shock, vibration, and the effects of thermal expansion and contraction.
6.
The effect of temperature on plastic piping systems must be considered when the systems are initially designed. The pressure
rating of plastic systems must be reduced with increasing temperature. Maximum operating pressure is dependent upon material
selection as well as operating temperature. Before installing any Hayward product, consult Hayward product literature for
pressure vs. temperature curves to determine any operating pressure or temperature limitations.
7.
PVC and CPVC plastic products become brittle below 40°F. Use caution in their installation and operation below this temperature.
WARNING
Hayward PVC and CPVC products should not be used in services with operating temperature below 34°F.
8.
Due to differential thermal expansion rates between metal and plastic, transmittal of pipe vibration and pipe loading
forces,
DIRECT INSTALLATION INTO METAL PIPING SYSTEMS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
. Wherever installation
of plastic equipment into metal piping systems is necessary, it is recommended that at least 10 pipe diameters in length of
plastic pipe be installed upstream and downstream of the plastic equipment to compensate for the factors mentioned above.
9.
Published operating requirements are based on testing of new pumps using clean water at 70°F. Pump performance is affected
by many factors including fluid chemistry, viscosity, specific gravity, flow rate, and temperature. These should be considered
when sizing Hayward products.
10.
Systems should always be depressurized and drained prior to installing or maintaining any Hayward product.
WARNING
Failure to depressurize and drain system prior to installing or maintaining filter vessel may result in product damage,
property damage, personal injury, or even death.
