INSTALLATION !
This*appliance*must*be*installed*by*a*trained*pool*professional*service*technician.**When *inst alling *th e*a pp lian c e,*en su re *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).*
*
*
A. Plan position*of*pump*so*that*it*will*be:
1. Free*of*water*flooding,*such*as*in*a*sump,*garden*hollow,*ditch*or*at*bottom*of*bank*with*run*off.*
2. On*a*stable*base*so*that:*
*
a) The*pump*is*not*left*suspended*by*its*fittings,*causing*a*leak*or*failure*with*loss*of*water*
b) Movement*through*vibration*is*restricted*
c) No*strain*is*put*on*attaching*pipe*or*other*expensive*equipment*
*
3. Accessible for*maintenance*an d *eas ily*rem o ve d*fo r*servic e.*
4. Breathing*space.**Pump*should*not*be*crowded*which*will*prevent*cooling*airflow*from*fan.**Overheating due*
to*lack*of*cooling*voids*warranty.*
5. Within*reach of*power*point*without*extension/plugs*liable*to*corrosion,*shorting,*etc.
6. At*a*minimum height*of*suction*lift*of*water*from*pool*surface*to*pump*inlet.
B. For*best*pump*performance*keep*suction*pipe*length*as*short*as*possible*with*minimum*number*of*bends*and*use*
50mm*high*pressure*PVC*suction*and*return*pipe.**All*equipment*such*as*filters,*heaters,*chlorinators*must*have*a*
minimum*of*50mm*connections.*
C. Secure*the*barrel*unions*supplied*into*the*attaching*pipe*work,*using*approved*priming*fluid*and*solvent*cement*as*
normal*practice,*coating*both*surfaces.**NOTE:!!Always*wear*protective*gloves*when*handling*and*using*glue*and*
priming*fluid.**Ensure*no*excess*adhesive*runs*into*the*union*proper*affecting*the*sealing*or*removal*abilities.**
Allow*24*hours*to*dry*before*starting*pump.**Do*not*use*“green”*glue*on*barrel*unions.**This*can*cause*damage*to*
the*ABS*material*used *to*m anu facture *the*unio ns.*
*
D. Install*isolation*valves*before*the*pump*section*and*after*equipment,*if*the*pump*is*below*the*water*level*of*the*
pool.*
E. For*pump*installations*500mm*above*water*level,*it*generally*requires*a*foot*valve*at*the*pool*or*check*valve*in*the*
suction*line.**Suction*lines*must*be*installed*below*water*level*until*just*in*front*of*pump*location*and*vertical*riser*
used*to*reach*pump*inlet.**AstralPool*pumps*are*rated*to*a*maximum*head*of*25*metres*however*refer*to*your*
pump’s*data*plate*for*actual*achievable*pressure.*
F. All*pumps*will*operate*quieter*and*perform*more*efficiently*if*a*straight*length*of*450mm*pipe*is*plumbed*
horizontally*into*the*front*of*the*pump.
G. Water*temperature*not*to*exceed*45*degrees*Celsius.*
*******H.**Pumps*must*be*either*
***********^*supplied*by*an*isolatin g *tr a n sf o rmer,*or*
***********^*supplied*through*a*residual*current*device*(RCD)*with*a*rated*residual*operating*current*not*exceeding**30mA.*
