1. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
2. INSTALLATION
2.1 SELECTING A LOCATION
The pump must be installed:
- Before the filter, heating system and/or water treatment unit.
- At a distance of 2 meters from the edge of the pool, to prevent water from splashing the unit. Some standards allow other distances. Consult the standards in force in the country of installation.
- Ideally, 30 cm below the water level.
- Outside an area susceptible to flooding or on a stand with drainage.
- In a well ventilated place, to allow the pump to cool.
- There must be easy access for maintenance work on the device.
- It is recommended to leave space between the pump and the outer edges of the installation as shown in the diagram (FIGURE 1).
- Place it on a stable, leveled and solid surface (e.g., concrete base).
- Fasten the pump to the ground using the anchoring stud so that it is suitably fitted in place. (FIGURE 2).
The pump must not be installed:
- In an area susceptible to rainfall and splashing.
- Near a heat source or source of inflammable gas.
- In an area that cannot be cleaned or kept free of leaves, dry vegetation and other inflammable items.
- In Zone 0 (Z0) and Zone 1 (Z1) (FIGURE 3).
2.2 HYDRAULIC PIPING
- Observe the direction of the hydraulic connections.
- Select the pipe size according to the size of the pool in line with the hydraulic standards in place in the country of installation.
- For hydraulic connections, use the standard connections required.
- Fit a check valve if the filter is installed above the water level.
- Fit isolation valves (suction and discharge) if the pump is installed below the water level.
- To avoid problems with priming, install the suction pipe so that there are no high points where air can build up.
- Check that the hydraulic connections are securely tightened and that there are no leaks.
- The piping should be well supported to avoid any risk of breakage due to the weight of the water.
- Use as few elbow joints as possible. If there must be more than 10 elbow joints in the hydraulic circuit, the diameter of the piping must be increased.
2.3 WIRING
- To avoid the terminal block from overheating (which could cause a fire), check that the terminals are securely fastened. Loose terminals will make the warranty null and void.
- Any unsuitable electrical connection will make the warranty null and void.
- The power cable must be insulated and protected against abrasion and damage.
- Turn the power off and install a ground connection before beginning work on the wiring.
- Unscrew the screws to open the connection box. (FIGURE 4)
- Disconnect and remove the factory test wires from the terminal block. (FIGURE 4)
- The type of power cable used must be sheathed in polychloroprene or an equivalent synthetic elastomer and not be lighter than the cable’s heavy-duty polychloroprene sheath (designation code 60245 IEC 66). However, pumps with a rated power of 1 CV or lower may be fitted with a standard-duty polychloroprene sheathed cable (designation code 60245 IEC 57).
4. Connect the wires as shown in the following diagrams (select as may be the case).
5. Close the connection box, check that the seal is in place and tighten the screws. (FIGURE 6)
- In three-phase pumps, a variable-frequency drive may be installed.
- If a variable-frequency drive is used, installing an output filter is recommended to obtain the right supply voltage for the motor. This will lengthen the pump’s service life.
- Adjust the variable-frequency drive as per the motor’s rating plate. Adjusting overvoltages and overloads is not permitted.
- The variable-frequency drive’s switching frequency must be set to values between 4–8 kHz. If outside of this range, the pump’s service life will be shortened.
- For three-phase pumps, a protection device must be fitted (motor guard circuit breaker with magnetothermic protection) in the fixed electrical installation.
3. USE
3.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The filter pump is an essential, core component of any pool, as it is used to
circulate the water through all components, the filter in particular.
Its motor makes the turbine rotate, which pumps the water. The pre-filter
basket collects the larger pieces of debris to prevent the turbine from
becoming blocked or damaged.
3.2 OPERATION
-
To prevent any risk of explosion that could cause material damage, serious injury or even death, ensure that the hydraulic circuit is free of obstructions, is not blocked and is not
under high pressure. -
The cover of the pre-filter basket may be closed manually or by using the tool supplied with the pump.
-
Check that the hydraulic connections are securely tightened.
-
Check that the pump is stable and leveled.
-
The hydraulic circuit should be drained and not contain any foreign bodies.
-
The lid of the pre-filter basket must be properly closed (manually) and its seal clean and properly in place.
-
Check that the valves are open.
-
As the pump is self-priming, the pre-filter must be filled with water before starting it up for the first time in order to facilitate the process. (FIGURE 7).
- The pump has a priming capacity of up to 1.5 meters above the water level of the pool at sea level (if the hydraulic circuit is properly sealed).
- Start the pump electrically.
- Bleed the air that may have built up in the filtration circuit using the drainage, which is usually on the filter (see the pool filter manual).
- Check that there are no leaks in the hydraulic circuit.
- Check that the motor is turning in the right direction (look at the fan located at the back of the motor). (FIGURE 8).
- Run the pump and from the pre-filter lid check that the pump is fully primed for no more than 12 minutes.
- The motor guard circuit breaker’s current may not exceed the nominal value displayed on the pump’s rating plate by more than 15%.
- The variable-frequency drive’s output frequency range must be 20–50 Hz. The pump must not be used outside of this range.
- Check that all units installed in the pool are able to work properly when the pump is running at low speed (20 Hz).
4. MAINTENANCE
Depending on how clean the water is, the following should be checked every 150 hours:
- Clean the prefilter basket to avoid pressure drops. Do not hit the basket during the cleaning process as this could potentially damage it.
- Every time the prefilter is opened, clean off any dirt on the seal and its housing to ensure the cover is watertight when closed (FIGURE 9).
The pump components that are prone to wear and tear through routine use must be regularly replaced for the pump to maintain good performance. The pump’s fungible components or consumables are listed in the table below along with the time when they should be replaced.
(1) Opening and closing the pump to replace internal parts does not guarantee subsequent water tightness. Therefore, it is recommended that O-rings and other seals be replaced whenever the mechanical seal and/or bearings are replaced.
The service life of the above components has been calculated based on the
pump’s normal conditions of use, installation and maintenance as described in
this pump’s manuals.
Follow the instructions in this pump’s manuals to ensure it works properly.
- If the pump stops, check that the motor’s amp consumption reading while in operation is the same or below that displayed on the manufacturer’s rating plate; in its absence contact your nearest Technical Assistance Service.
- Drain the pump of water in the event that it will spend some time without running, mainly in cold countries where there is also a risk of freezing temperatures.
- To drain the pump, remove the draining plug.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
- If a problem arises, before contacting your dealer, make the following simple checks as described in the table below.
- If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
- The following may only be carried out by a qualified service personnel.
