SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
1/1 LOCATION
1.
Locate the pump as close to the pool as practical.
Consult local codes for minimum distance between pool
and pump.
2.
The piping should be as direct and free from turns or
bends as possible, as elbows and other fittings greatly
increase friction losses.
3.
Place pump on a solid foundation which provides a rigid
and vibration-free support so that it is readily accessible for
service and maintenance.
4.
Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected
from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. (rain,
sprinklers, etc.)
5.
Protect the pump against flooding and excess moisture,
prevent foreign objects from clogging air circulation around
motor. All motors generate heat that must be removed by
providing proper ventilation.
6.
DO NOT
store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this pump.
DO NOT
store
pool chemicals near the pump.
7.
DO NOT
remove any safety alert labels such as
DANGER
,
WARNING
, or
CAUTION
. Keep safety labels
in good condition and replace missing or damaged labels.
8.
Provide access for future services by leaving a clear
area around the pump. Allow plenty of space above the
pump to remove lid and basket for cleaning.
1/2 INSTALLATION
1.
When connecting pipework to pump with threaded
ports, it is recommended that thread seal tape be used.
If the suction pipe is not sealed corectly, the pump will not
prime properly and will pump small volumes of water or
none at all.
2.
When installing the pump, care should be taken to
see that the suction line is below water level to a point
immediately beneath the pump to ensure quick priming via
a flooded suction line. The height between the pump and
the water level should not be more than five (5) feet.
3.
Suction and discharge line should be independently
supported at a point near the pump to avoid strains being
placed on the pump.
4.
It is advisable to install a gate valve in both the suction
and discharge line in the event that the pump must be
removed for servicing.
5.
Before starting the pump for the first time, remove the
see-through lid. (Turn lid ring counterclockwise to remove.)
Fill strainer tank with water until it is level with the suction
inlet.
Replace lid with locking ring.
Hand-tighten
the lid
to make an air-tight seal.
DO NOT use any tools to
tighten the lid.
6.
When installing and using the motor, basic safety
precautions should be done by a licensed electrician in
accordance with local codes. Be certain that the motor
frame is grounded. Motor name plate has voltage, phase,
ampere draw and other motor information as well as wiring
connection instructions.
BONDING:
As required by National Electrical Code Article
680-22, the pump motor must be electrically bonded to
the pool structure (reinforced bars, etc.) by a solid copper
conductor not smaller than #8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) wire via the
external copper bonding lug on the pump motor.
GROUNDING:
Permanently ground the pump motor
using a conductor of appropriate size. Connect to the #10
green headed ground screw provided inside the motor
terminal box.
NOTE:
DO NOT
connect to electric power supply until the
unit is permanently grounded
Figure 1
1/3 MAINTENANCE
The pump requires little or no service other than reasonable
care and periodic cleaning of the strainer basket.
DO NOT
strike basket to clean. When cleaning the basket inspect
the lid o-ring for damage and replace if necessary.
NOTE: It is normal for a few drops of water to escape from
the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially
true during the break-in period.
The mechanical seal may come worn and/or loose during
the course of time, depending on the running time and water
quality. If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical
seal should be fitted. After long periods of NOT operational
(seasonal storage, etc.), the pump must be checked for
ease of rotation while it is switched off.
