ANthony AJ Series - INSTALLATION; Pump Mount Requirements

4
INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable liquids.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the
maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.) listed on the motor
model plate. If this pump is installed in an enclosure/pump house, the
enclosure must have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the
temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated ambient
temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be Solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free (to reduce vibration and pipe stress,
bolt pump to mount).
Set pump suction inlet height below water level at all times.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Have gate valves in suction and discharge piping to prevent flooding.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high
temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or
foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when
handling the motor, let it cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on it.
Piping
Independently support both suction and discharge piping at a point near
the pump to avoid strains being placed on the pump. Start all piping at
pump to avoid strains left by a gap.

FIGURE 1A: When pump is installed upstream from main
filter, use a prefilter with the pump to avoid plugging pump,
solar heater, pool cleaner, etc., with debris, and to avoid
returning dirty water to pool. Clean prefilter at regular
intervals to avoid clogging filter elements, which can starve
pump for water.
FIGURE 1B: When pump is installed
downstream from main
filter, be sure to keep filter clean so that pump, solar heater,
pool cleaner, etc., always have an adequate water supply.
Clean system filter at regular intervals to avoid clogged filter
elements, which can starve pump for water.
