\~ IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL NOTICE \~

The electrical installation is to be done by a licensed electrician.

Each pump requires a circuit breaker to separate the pump from the electrical supply.

The contact separation has to provide full disconnection in all poles under overvoltage category III conditions.

If the pump is to be installed on a swimming pool or pond situation it is MANDATORY that an earth leakage circuit breaker with a rated tripping current not exceeding 30mA be installed.

Check the pumps name plate for the following: Voltage, Amp draw and Cycle.

The power cord, including the ground wire shall have a quality of 60245 IEC 66 (H07RN-F) for models greater than 1kW power input.

For models less than 1kW input the quality shall be of 60245 IEC 57 (H05RN-F).

All installations must comply with local codes, based on IEC 60364-7-702 requirements.

LOCATION

The pump must be located as close as practical to the pool. The pump must also be in a position that enables easy access for periodic servicing.

Care must also be taken to position the pump in an area that is free from flooding in a well ventilated and dry area (The pump motor cooling fan must have a minimum clearance of 150mm).

INSTALLATION

Waterco Limited use the latest technology when designing and manufacturing our pumps, a few simple precautions during installation will ensure years of trouble free operation.

1. The pump suction line should be not smaller than 40mm (1 1/2").
2. The suction line is to have as few bends or elbows as possible. There must not be an air trap on the suction line.
3. Use only the pump barrel unions supplied with the pump.
4. Bolt the pump to the required position (prevent movement).
5. The pump electrical cable must be wired for the proper voltage and rotation in accordance with the wiring instructions.
6. All wiring (electrical) work must be carried out by licensed electricians and must be installed in accordance to the local codes.
7. The motor must be grounded.
8. The weight of the plumbing and fittings is to be independently supported and not carried by the pump.
9. The pump motor cooling fan must have a minimum clearance of 150mm.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check that the information on the nameplate corresponds to the power supply.

Employ a competent electrician to ensure wiring installation is made in accordance with any local / national rules in the Country where the pump is installed. The national wiring rules in Australia & New Zealand is AS/NZS 3000.

THREE PHASE MOTOR does not come with internal thermal protector and requires either a fused disconnect switch or a circuit breaker.

Install and set the safety devices according to the current stated in the nameplate

A SINGLE PHASE MOTOR has built in thermal overload switch

THREE PHASE MOTOR

THREE PHASE MOTORS requires a starter switch or magnetic starter with correctly sized overload protection in addition to the fused disconnect switch.

CHECK THE ROTATION OF THREE PHASE MOTORS.

The motor is only suitable for clockwise operation when viewed from the motor end fan (cowl) cover.

Three phase motors could rotate in either direction. Changing any 2 wires of the cable on a three phase motor will reverse the direction of rotation. To check the rotation of the motor, turn on for approximately 1 second. If it is running in the wrong direction turn off power and interchanging any 2 wires and repeat the above step to check.

When installing three phase pumps a separate device must be available for permanent installation, this is so the pump can be isolated from the mains power. A contact distance of 3mm per pole is required for both three phase and single phase units.

Motor protection MUST be installed corresponding to the nominal current of the motor. SEE VALUE ON RATING PLATE.

It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the user to ensure adequate protection between the motor and the power supply.

The installer must protect all three phases on the supply of the motor so that the pump cannot run on 1 or 2 phases only.

WARNING

Before disconnecting electrical connections, shut of the electricity at its source:

EXAMPLE : The fuse or circuit breaker box. Before work is carried out on the pump ensure the pump switch or timers are turned off and MAKE CERTAIN THE MAINS POWER IS SWITCHED OFF.

PRIMING

The Waterco Limited pump will prime and re prime providing the hair and lint pot bowl is full of water and there is sufficient supply from the suction point.

If you lose water from the hair and lint pot bowl it will be necessary to re fill it before starting.

1. Remove the clear lid and fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water.
2. Replace the lid ensuring the o-ring is correctly located and start the pump.

After you have done this allow a few minutes (maximum) for the pump to start delivering water.

! WARNING

High suction lift or long suction lines will require additional time to prime and can severely affect the performance of the pump. If the pump will not prime, (flow) repeat step 1 and 2 above.

WARNING

Mechanical seals if allowed to run dry can be damaged rapidly and may need to be replaced.

ENSURE that there is always adequate water in the hair and lint pot bowl before you commence start up.

If you are unable to prime the pump please see the trouble-shooting guide.

Ensure all suction and discharge valves are open before you start the pump, operating the pump with these valves shut can damage the pump.

MAINTENANCE

The strainer basket in the hair and lint pot bowl should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.

1. Remove lid and lift out basket.
2. Remove debris and hose off with clean water if necessary.
3. Inspect the lid gasket, lubricate with SILICON based grease only if needed. If it is damaged replace.
4. Replace the strainer.
5. Re-prime the hair and lint pot bowl.
6. Correctly locate the o-ring.
7. Replace the lid (hand tighten) only.
8. Switch on pump.

In Climates where the pump may be exposed to frost or freezing, care must be taken to ensure the pump is protected from damage.

It is recommended that if the pump is not used during this winter period it should be drained completely.
