Installation

General Installation Instructions

During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the electrical mains.

The pump and the entire port system must be protected against frost.

All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and cause considerable damage. If required, please use a suitable sealant to make the installation airtight.
Avoid when tightening screw excessive force that may cause damage.
When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight, vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope.
Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
Please observe the graphic figures in this manual. The numbers and other indications in brackets refer to the following graphic figures in this text.

Installation of the pool filter system

Mount the pump on the plate provided by pulling it along the dotted line so that the pump snaps into place. Insert the seals into the connection pieces and screw them onto the pump openings.

---|---|---

Install the drain plug. Screw the internal filter together in the direction of the arrow as shown. Then assemble the outer connection piece and the internal filter and finally install them with the tank.

|
---|---

Fill the enclosed filter balls into the tank. Insert the base of the tank into the recess in the pump plate. Make sure that the drain plug is pointing outwards.

|
---|---

Clean the edge of the tank opening thoroughly.
Then place the O-ring on the opening and attach the cover to the tank using the clamp (the direction of the water inlet on the valve should be opposite the water outlet of the pump).
Connect the tank to the pump using the hose, hose clamps and hose adapters.

| |
---|---|---

Please carefully note for the installation

1. Make sure the filter is working under pressure and using a pressure control valve when the systems using a booster pump.
2. If the pump position is lower than the water level as recommended, it requires installing an isolation valve. It could stop the water return back for general care and maintenance.
3. Reducing the connect adaptors and hose connecting bending as less as possible. Decreasing the water flow scrub, it could reach the maximum effective.
4. Ensure solvents are not excessively applied to fittings as this could run into o-ring and cause damage of the sealing’s.
5. Do not over tighten fittings or adapters.

Installation of pump inlet and outlet hose

The pump is developed according to the latest technology. These preventive actions during installation will ensure a trouble-free operation for many years. Use a inlet pipe with the same diameter as the suction port of the pump.

The weight of the plumbing’s and fittings is to be independently supported and not carried by the pump.

The pump inlet must be installed under the water level of the pool, because the pump works with an intake water supply.

For easier maintenance and care, we recommend the installation of an isolation valve. The advantage is, that by closing the isolation valve no water runs out of the pool.

Make sure , that there is always a sufficient quantity of water in the filter tank before starting.
If the pump does not run, observe the notices in the troubleshooting/tips section.
Make sure , all inlet and outlet valves are open, before priming the pump. Otherwise this could cause severe damage of the pump.

Fixed installation

For fixed installation of the electrical connection, make sure the plug can be easily reached and is visible. For fixed installation the pump should be placed on a solid, horizontal surface.

Please note:

• If the filter is installed below the water surface, a shut-off valve should be installed. This prevents unnecessary water flow during maintenance.

Use of the chlorinator

Turn the lid anti-clockwise, insert the chlorine tablet into the opening provided and control the slow release of the chlorine tablet by adjusting the opening of the value according to the size of the pool and the water quality in the pool.

Electrical connection

The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges. Defect power cords must be replaced immediately.

The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in compliance with the applicable standards.

The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).

If extension cables are used, their cross-section must not be smaller than that of rubber sheathed cables of the H07RN-F (3 x 1.0 mm²) short code. The mains socket and the plug and-socket elements have to be in splash-water-proof design.

The electrical installation must be done in accordance with the safety regulation for swimming pools and in particular with standard HD 60364-7-702 and other local specifications regulations.

Putting into operation

**** For the first operation it is recommended to fill the sand filter tank with water.

**** Avoid any dry-running – operation of the pump without suction of water. This could cause an overheating of the pump and severe damage of the device. In addition to this, there then very hot water in the system, this can cause burning injuries and scalding. In case of an overheated pump pull out the power cord and let the system cool down. The floating ring seals can be damaged if the pump is running dry and should be replaced if this happened.

**** Do not expose the pump to rain or humidity. Avoid any dripping connectors. Do not place the pump in a wet or humid environment. Make sure the pump and the electrical plugs are located in an area, which is secured against flooding.

**** The pump must not be operated, if the inlet valve is closed.

**** It is absolutely forbidden to touch with the hands into the openings of the pump, if the device is connected to the power supply.
