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, or place it on a rubber mat.
The pump foundation must have adequate drainage to prevent
the motor from getting wet. The pump has been designed for
use outdoors, however, to prolong the life of the pump any
protection from the rain and sun will ensure a great result.
All motors generate heat when in operation, therefore, please
ensure that the motor is installed with adequate ventilation
around the motor. Do not install the motor directly onto a wall
or fence, the Fan at the back requires at least 2” (50mm) of space
to generate enough air-flow.
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.
If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate lighting.
1. Minimise the amount of PVC Pipe and Fittings through your
filtration system. The longer the pipe and the greater the
amount of fittings the more pressure is built into the system and
the harder the Pump has to operate. This will eventually reduce
the lifespan of the Pump as well as costing you more energy to
operate.
2. Always use minimum of 50mm (2”) PVC Pipe on the Inlet of the
Pump.
3. Where possible use minimum of 50mm (2”) PVC Pipe on the
Outlet of the Pump.
4. Keep Pump clear of any debris, rubbush, other equipment,
chemicals, walls etc. It is important that the circulation of
air around the motor is clear to help reduce the running
temperature and extend the lifespan of the pump.
5. Ensure that if any other equipment exists in your filtration
system (ie Filter, Heater, Sanitiser etc) that you have thoroughly
checked that the Pump Flow rate does not exceed the maximum
flow rates for the other equipment. If it is not suitable, this will
affect the performance of the Pump and the other equipment
and most likely void any warranty claims on all items.
