2. The unions on both the suction and discharge ports
simplify installation and service while eliminating the
possibility of leaks at threaded adapters.
3. The pump must be connected to at least two
hydraulically-balanced main drains for each pool pump
suction line. Each drain (suction outlet) assembly
must be provided with covers and must be listed or
certied to the latest published edition of ANSI
®
/ASME
®
A112.19.8, or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. The
suction ttings of the main drains must be at least 1 m
(3 ft) apart, center to center, or on dierent planes. The
suction ttings can be a drain and skimmer, two drains,
two skimmers, or a skimmer with an equalizer line
installed. Check the local codes for proper installation.
NOTE To prevent entrapment, the system must be built so
it cannot operate with the pump drawing water from
only one main drain. At least two main drains must
be connected to the pump when it is in operation.
However, if two main drains run into a single suction
line, the single suction line may be equipped with
a valve that will shut o both main drains from the
pump.
4. The piping must be well supported and not forced
together where it will experience constant stress.
5. Always use properly sized valves. Jandy Diverter Valves
and Ball Valves typically have the best ow capabilities.
6. Use the fewest possible ttings and limit the use of
90 degree elbows. Each additional tting or length
of pipe increases resistance to ow which makes the
pump work harder.
NOTE If more than ten suction ttings are needed, the
pipe size must be increased.
7. Every new installation must be pressure tested
according to local codes.
4.2 Pump Installation
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.
When installing the appliance, ensure all parts are
installed in the correct zone in accordance with the
wiring rules. In particular refer to AS/NZS 3000
(Australia) and EN 60364 (EU).
• Install on a stable, solid (concrete slab for example)
and level surface.
• Screw the pump (and the base(s) if applicable) to
the ground using suitable lag-screws.
