• The pump is equipped with a thermal overload protection.
If overload occurs during operation, the built in overload
protection automatically deactivates the pump. The pump will
switch on automatically after a cooling period of approximately
20 (twenty) minutes. Ensure the cause of the overload is identied
and addressed . If the pump remains on a continuous locked
situation causing thermal overload, the motor may eventually
damage and burn out.
• Note that certain parts are subject to normal wear and tear, even
when used properly and must be replaced in due time, depending
on type and duration of use.
These include but are not limited to:
• Impeller
• Shaft Seal
• Motor Bearings
• Pump lid and O-ring
• Pump basket
• Diffuser
• All work listed in this manual must be performed regularly.
If this maintenance work cannot be performed by the end-user,
an authorised person must be commissioned to perform this work.
If these operations are neglected, faults may arise which are the
responsibility of the user.
These include:
• Damage to the motor, due to untimely or inadequate
maintenance or cleaning of the cooling fan cover

BARACUDA | TITAN 2 ECO 3 | Installation & Operating Instructions
USE
1. Operating principle
• The ltration pump forms the core of the pool and is essential as it is used to
circulate water through the pool’s different components, in particular the lter.
Its motor drives the turbine in rotation, which drives the water.
The large strainer of the pre-lter collects major debris to prevent the lter
from becoming clogged too quickly or from becoming damaged.
