 Safety

Possible user errors
– Installation of the pump with the pipes under tension.
– Operation of the pump outside the area of application as specified on the datasheet for e.g. excessive system pressure.
– Opening and servicing of the pump by unqualified persons.
This User Guide contains basic instructions that must be followed during installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of the pump. Therefore, this Manual must be carefully read before installation and should be at all times available at the installation site. The Manual must always be available to the personnel in charge.This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or who lack experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or are provided with instructions on how to use the equipment from them. Children must be supervised at all times to ensure that they never play with the units.

Safety Symbols

Warning – Voltage
Danger – for safety warnings which, when ignored, may constitute a hazard  for the machine and/or for persons.
Residual risks
Suspension parts – Risk of crushing from falling parts
The lifting lugs on the motor are only intended for holding the weight of the motor. If they are used to lift the complete pump unit, the lugs can break off.
– Make sure that the complete pump unit, that is both the motor and pump are supported.
– Only use suitable lifting gear and load handling devices that are in perfect working order.
– Do not stand under suspended loads.

Rotating parts
Risk of crushing or shearing from exposed rotating parts.
– Do not perform any work on the pump unless the power is shut down.
– Before starting work, make sure the pump cannot inadvertently be switched on again.
– Directly after finishing work, refit/reactivate all protective devices.
In the case of AK-type pumps the rotating pump shaft can trap hair, jewellery and items of clothing.
When in the vicinity of a running AK-type pump:
– Wear close-fitting clothing.
– Wear a hairnet.
– Do not wear jewellery.

Electricity
When working on the electrical unit, there is an increased risk of electrocution due to the damp surroundings.
Incorrectly installed protective conductors can also lead to electrocution for e.g. as a result of oxidation or cable breakage.

• Make sure that the swimming pool and its surrounding protective zone are installed, commissioned and operated in accordance with the relevant local regulations.

• Before working on the electrical system, take the following precautions:
  – Disconnect the system from the electrical power supply.
  – Attach a warning sign: “Do not switch on! Work in progress on the system.”
  – Check the absence of voltage.

• Regularly check that the electrical system is in proper working order.

Hot surfaces
Risk of burns – the electric motor can reach temperatures of up to 70 °C.
– Do not touch the motor while it is running.
– Let the motor cool down before working on the pump.
Caution

General

Please take the necessary precautions when transporting the pump. During transportation, avoid intermediate storage in a damp location or locations subject to significant temperature fluctuations. The Aqua Maxi pumps with built-in filter elements have been designed for pre-filtering and for the circulation of swimming pool water. Most plastic components that come into contact with the pumping medium are made of reinforced polypropylene (PP) and thus are highly resistant to corrosion by pool water. The water temperature must not exceed 60°C. Non-compliance with our Installation and Operating Instructions will void any warranty.

Installation

Caution
The i nstallation site of the pump must be dry and well ventilated.
The size of the floor drain depends mainly on the size of the swimm ing pool and the circulation flow rate but also on possible leaks within the pool water circulation system.
The ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C. When installed inaclosed room, a drainage connected to the sewers must be installed.
Caution
When the pump is installed outside, we recommend to foresee as impleprotection against the weather (rain, sun etc.). Caution
Implement appropriate measures to attenuate the noise generated by the pump to avoid damage to the environment.
Fastening the pump to the foundation should be effected exclusively by means of bolts, threads or dowels, in order to avoid blocking the removal of the motor unit! Make sure that there is enough space between fan cover and wall, minimum 50 mm. You also need enough space to permit disassembly of the strainer basket, minimum 210 mm towards above. The pump should be installed at water level or below water level and in horizontal position, in order to keep the suction path as short as possible and to reduce head losses. The Aqua Plus is self-priming and should never be installed more than 2 m above
water level. Make sure that the suction line is not leaky, otherwise the pump will prime insufficiently or not at all.
We recommend the installation of check valves and shut-off valves, according to the type of pump or plant. The adhesive bonds at the suction and pressure lines require more time to cure, allow at least 12 hours before starting the pump.

Electrical Connection

All electrical connections should be performed by a qualified expert only!
Make sure all parts are free of tension before doing any maintenance work or electrical work.
The use of pumps for swimming pools and the restricted area around them is only permitted if pumps are installed in accordance with DIN/VDE 0100 part 702. The supply circuit has to be protected with a fault current contactor with a nominal fault current of IΔN ≤ 30 mA.
Please make sure that the electrical installation has a disconnecting device, which allows disconnecting from the power supply with a minimum of 3 mm contact gap at each pole. In accordance with norm requirements an electrical cable type H05RN-F or H07RN-F must be used.
Please ensure that the diameter of the electrical cable used adequately accommodates for the power of the motor and the length of the cable.
Pumps with A.C. motors are equipped with a built-in thermal cut-out in the windings.

Initial Start-up

Caution
Unscrew the ring nut and lift off the transparent lid. Slowly fill the pump with clean water until the water level reaches the inlet connection. Put on the transparent lid and tighten the ring nut by hand. Never let the pump run dry, not even to verify the direction of rotation! Ensure that the valves installed on the suction and pressure lines are completely open. Before initial start-up and after extended periods of down time make sure the pump shaft turns freely.

Maintenance

Caution
The strainer basket must be cleaned at regular intervals. A full or dirty strainer will impair the pump’s flow rate and the filtration. For longer periods of down time we highly recommend to completely drain the pump and clean it. Do not add water treatment agents, particularly agents in tablet form, into the strainer basket! Caution
If there is a risk of freezing, the pump must be drained ahead of time. For this purpose open the drain plug in order to drain off all liquid. Also drain all pipes subject to freezing. Before doing any maintenance work, switch off the pump and disconnect it from the power supply.

Recommendations

Caution
Only install the pump in a lockable room, out of the reach of children. Ensure the motor’s cooling. The installation site must be dry and well ventilated. Never obstruct the air supply to the fan by putting any objects on the pump or too close to the pump.
