Dimensions
The pump must be installed and serviced by a suitably qualified person in order
to avoid hazard. Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing
severe injury or property damage.
These instructions are a guide only. Should you the installer or owner of the
product be unfamiliar with the correct installation or operation of this product
you should contact a suitably qualified person for advice.
Do not connect system to high pressure or mains water system.
This pump 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.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the pump.
The WhisperFlo VS 1500 is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from
electrical supply during installation and any subsequent service work.
1. Plan the position of the pump
For best performance, allow pump suction inlet height to be as far below
water level as possible and allow the use of short, direct suction pipe with
minimum bends (to reduce friction losses).
a.
Have enough ventilation to keep ambient temperature below the motor’s rated ambient
temperature whenever the pump is running. If installed in an enclosure/pump house,
the enclosure must have adequate ventilation (200sq.cm min, inlet & outlet) and air
circulation. Allow 200mm to keep rear of motor clear.
b.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding and be protected from excess
moisture.
c.
Be solid, level, rigid and vibration free.
d.
To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount. Fixing holes accept 12mm
fasteners.
e.
Be within 2m of a power outlet for electrical connection (refer to AS/NZS 3000 for rules
regarding connection of electrical equipment in pool zones).
f.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
