Should you require additional instructions or have specic problems, please do not hesitate to contact the nearest Technical Assistance Service.Installation and general maintenance manual - POOL PUMPS

Fit the pump horizontally in order to accommodate the pre-lter. The pumps are tted with a pre-lter with a basket inside to collect any large particles, as they may damage the hydraulic parts inside the pump.

All pumps are tted with a stand with holes in it to anchor it to the ground (Fig. 1). PIPING - To connect the piping, glue the pipes and the connectors, supplied together with the pump; the tting connections to the suction and return ports on the pump are threaded and include seals to prevent water loss (Fig. 2). - Fit the return pipes completely perpendicular and centered in relation to the port to be connected to prevent the pump and the pipe from being subjected to external stress, which apart from making tting dicult, could break them (Fig. 2). - Fit the suction piping on a slight 2% slope towards the pump to avoid the formation of air pockets (Fig. 2). - To ensure the pump works correctly, prime the pump pre-lter until water rises up through the suction pipe (Fig. 3). LOCATION

Fit the pump below the water level in the pool to improve pump performance.

Make sure that the pump is safe from possible ooding and receives dry ventilation. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION - It is essential that you use a multiple disconnection device with a space of at least 3 mm between surfaces to disconnect the unit from the electrical current.

Use a rigid cable to connect the pump to the mains. If you use a exible cable to connect it to the mains, it must have cable lugs to connect it to the terminals of the pump’s motor.Installation and general maintenance manual - POOL PUMPS

Adjust the value of the ground fault circuit interrupter in line with pump intensity.

Before connecting the motor, check the type of fuse required.

Check the layout and connection of the earthing cable in the unit. - Respect the electrical installation and connection instructions. Failure to do so may lead to the pump’s manufacturer declining all liability and rendering the warranty null and void. - The installation may be subject to special regulations. - Unsuitable mains connections involve the risk of electrocution. For pumps with a single-phase motor:

• Thermal protection is incorporated.

• Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection.

• The adjustment data for the thermal relay is to be used as a guideline, as the motor is already tted with protection.

• For 230 V, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the motor and to the length of the cable. For pumps with o three-phase motor:

• Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection.

• Protect the pump against overloads with a cut-o switch for the motor.

• Adjust the thermal value according to the thermal protection table. For the connection Δ (3 x 230 V network), use the protection with the highest indicated value. For the connection Υ (3 x 400 V network), use the protection with the lowest indicated value.

• Connect the lowest voltage at Δ and the highest at Υ for voltage intervals other than 230/400 V; 400/690 V.

• For AC, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the motor and the length of the cable.

• The mains cable may only be connected by skilled, authorised personnel.Installation and general maintenance manual - POOL PUMPS

- Measurements prior to rst start-up:

1. Remove the pre-lter cap by unscrewing the nut holding it in place (Fig. 5).

2. Fill the pump with water through the pre-lter until it rises up through the suction pipe.

3. Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent

large particles from entering the pump that could block it.

4. Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond with those indicated on the

pump’s rating plate.

5. Fit the pre-lter cap and screw on tightly, without forgetting to t the seal in its housing

(Fig. 5). - The pumps must not be run without the pre-lter having rst been lled with water. Where this is not the case, the mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water. - Check that the motor rotates in the correct direction by means of the fan located at the back of the motor that can be seen through the view hole on the fan cover (Fig. 6). START-UP - Open all the valves and connect the motor. - Activate the self-priming mode and wait a reasonable time for this to be completed.

Depending on the level of water cleanliness, the following should be done every 100 operating hours: - Clean the pre-lter basket regularly to avoid drops in pressure. To prevent the basket from brea- king, do not hit it during the cleaning process. - Should the pump stop, check that the consumption in amperes of the motor that is running is equal to or below that indicated on the manufacturer’s rating plate. If this information is not available, contact the nearest Technical Assistance Service. - Empty the pump if it is to remain at a standstill for a certain length of time, especially in cold countries where there is a risk of freezing. - Remove the purge cap to empty the pump.Installation and general maintenance manual - POOL PUMPS

ENGLISH - Every time the pre-lter is opened, clean the seal and its housing of any impurities to ensure airtightness when the cap is closed (Fig. 5). - Pump components that, due to their normal use, suer wear and/or tear must be regularly re- placed to ensure good pump performance. The following table lists the fungible and / or consu- mable components of the pump and the period of time in which they must have been replaced. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENT TIME BETWEEN REPLACEMENTS Capacitor 1 year Bearings 1 year Mechanical seal 1 year O-rings and other sealing components (1) 1 year (1) The opening and closing of the pump for the replacement of any of the inner spare parts does not guarantee the subsequent sealing. For this reason, it is recommended that the O-rings and sealing components are replaced whenever the mechanical seal and / or bearings are changed. The estimated working life of the above parts has been established according to normal product use and installation conditions. Follow the instructions in the installation manual to maintain the working life of the pump.

- The motor unit can be removed from the pump body without having to disconnect the pump’s suction and return pipes. - To remove the motor unit from the pump body, remove the screws that join them together.Installation and general maintenance manual - POOL PUMPS
