on the OD.
When plumbing the discharge pipe, ensure that the pipework does not
interfere with the touchpad’s protective cover, which needs to fully open
and close.
The use of any pipe smaller than those specified above is not recommended.
Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows
which cause suction difficulties.
The discharge piping from the pump outlet should be connected to the inlet
connection on the swimming pool filter (usually at the filter control valve).
Barrel unions need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or silicones
are required.
