11 MAINTENANCE, DISMANTLING AND RECYCLING
The most important maintenance operation is that of keeping the pre-filter basket clean, and this filter state
check should be performed after each filtration operation and especially after bottom-cleaning. The
procedure is as follows:
Disconnect the electricity supply to the pump. Close the suction and impulsion valves to the pump. Open the pre-
filter cover, remove the basket and clean it. Once it is clean, replace it, but before closing, check the condition of
the pump body thread, pre-filter cover and the O-ring, cleaning them only with water, and where necessary apply a
light coating of neutral Vaseline.
The pump should only be dismantled by qualified personnel who hold the technical qualifications required under
the technical safety regulations of the country where the product is located.
This product and its components must be disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. Use local
public or private waste-collection systems.
Under no circumstances should chlorine tablets be placed in the pre-filter basket.
The special key that is supplied to OPEN the pre-filter cover, should never be employed to close it.
When there is a frost risk, or when the pump is to remain off for any significant length of time, then it should
be emptied. This is accomplished by removing the two emptying plugs on the lower part of the pump body.
Apart from what has been stated above, our pumps do not require any other maintenance operations since the
bearings have been dimensioned and lubricated for life.
