CTX, XP, XF and E Series Pumps | Installation and Operation Manual

WARNING
AstralPool Pumps are powered by a high-voltage electric motor and must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified swimming
pool service technician.
WARNING
The pump is for fixed installations only and to be used in conjunction with swimming pool equipment. (e.g. filters). The pump is to be installed in
accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian wiring rules AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the
swimming pool equipment for which the pump will be an integral part. The pump is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated
residual operating current of 30mA. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazard.
WARNING
Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
WARNING
• Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than
250KPA (35 PSI).
• Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure
all air is out of the system before operating.
WARNING
To minimize risk of severe injury or death, the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping system pressurization test.
Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements are generally not intended to apply to the
pool equipment, such as filters or pumps.
AstralPool pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If, however, the WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the filter and/or pump, BE SURE TO COMPLY
WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings, and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed and secured before testing.
• RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.
• Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 250 KPA (35 PSI).
• Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 38°C (100°F).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Notice: These parameters apply to AstralPool equipment only. For non-AstralPool equipment, consult the equipment manufacturer.
WARNING
Chemical spills and fumes can weaken pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can cause filters and other equipment to fail, resulting in severe injury or
property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near your equipment.
CAUTION
Do not start pump dry! Running the pump dry for any length of time will cause severe damage and will void the warranty.
CAUTION
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas, if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A
permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building, such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool
is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
CAUTION
Do not install beneath the skirt of a hot tub. The pump requires adequate ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient
temperature rating listed on the motor rating plate.
