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
Autopool 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.
~ 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 245 IEC66 (HO7RN-F)
for models greater than 1Kw power input.
For models less than 1Kw input the quality shall be of 245 IEC57 (H05RN-F) .
All installations must comply with local codes, based on IEC 364-7-702 requirements.

Aquatight Saturn Series Pumps 5
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
electrical codes. Every motor requires either a fused disconnect switch or a circuit breaker.
A SINGLE PHASE MOTOR has a 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.
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.

• ROTATION OF 3 PHASE PUMP
PRIMING
The Aquatight Saturn 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.
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.
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.
