Installation
Pump Location
Locate pump as close to the pool as possible, in compliance with local codes. To reduce friction loss, suction lines should as direct as they can be. Suction lines
should have continuous slope upward from lowest point in line. Joints must be tight (but not over-tightened). Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than
the discharge line diameter.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is advised to place pump and filter in the shade to shield them from continuous direct heat. Select a well-
drained area that will not flood when it rains. Do NOT install pump and filter in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors require
free circulation of air for cooling.
Pump Mounting
Install pump on a level concrete slab or other rigid base to meet all local and national codes. Secure pump to base with
screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The base must be level, rigid, and vibration
free.
Pump mount must:
• Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
• Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
• Allow for valves in suction and discharge piping.
• Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
• Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Pipe Sizing Chart
Note: It is recommended that a minimum length of straight piping (shown as “L” in above diagram), equivalent to 5 pipe size diameters, be used between the
pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings (elbows, valves, etc.).
When installing the XE pump, care should be taken to ensure proper pipe and equipment sizing to handle the maximum flow required. It is recommended to set
the maximum speed in order to not exceed the maximum flow rate.
WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components of a swimming pool filtration system operate under pres-
sure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in severe personal injury or death.
