INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE swimming pool pump.
Before attempting to operate the pump, it is essential that you read this
manual thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. In doing so you
will ensure the safety of yourself and that of others around you, and you can
also look forward to the pump giving you long and satisfactory service.
DESCRIPTION
This self-priming, centrifugal swimming pool pump is designed for the filtration
of small to medium size swimming pools and for pumping clean water only.
Operating with contaminated or salt water should be avoided.
When used with permanently installed pools, the pump should be fixed in a
horizontal position and the use of a non-return valve will facilitate immediate
priming. The pump inlet is higher than the impeller inlet so that it can start
operating when only the pump body is filled with water.
Upon receipt, any damage or deficiency should be reported to your CLARKE
dealer immediately.

INSTALLATION
Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are
supplied with your pump, however accessories are available from your
nearest CLARKE dealer. Contact your CLARKE dealer for further information,
or CLARKE International Sales Department on 01992 565333.
Note: It is recommended that the end user should consult a qualified installer
if there are any doubts as to the suitability of this product for a particular
installation.
IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply
until all hose/pipe installation is completed.
INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP
A typical installation of the pump is shown in Fig 1. The pump must always be
installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e. with the outlet port facing
vertically upwards. The fixing holes in the base should be used to secure the
pump firmly in it’s operating position. Mount the pump on raised blocks or a
purpose built platform to protect it from flooding.
Always ensure there is adequate air circulation around the motor and that
the transparent filter cover is accessible so that the filter basket can be
removed for cleaning. The pump should be installed in a dry, well ventilated
enclosure, sheltered from rain, such as a purpose built pump room.
The pump is usually installed between the pool skimmer and the pool filter
and should be positioned as near to the pool water level as possible.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The pump should be located at a safe distance, (usually 2 metres), away
from the pool, and the power supply should be at least 3.5 metres from the
pool. If in doubt, please contact your electrical specialist and refer to the
International Electrical Commission (IEC) standard, (Electrical Installations for
Buildings-part 7), referring to ‘swimming pools and other basins’.
Avoid situations where the pump could become drenched with water as
neither the motor or terminal box are designed to be waterproof. Ensure the
pump & its cable do not create a safety hazard for people walking past it.
PIPE/HOSE CONNECTIONS
The pump inlet will be connected to the pool skimmer and/or pool drain
connection, depending upon the installation layout, and the discharge
outlet should be connected to your water filter.
The inlet and outlet adaptors supplied with the pump are designed to fit to
rigid pipe-work. The inner bore diameter of the adaptors is 50 mm. Therefore
pipes with the same nominal diameter should be used. These should be fixed
in place using a proprietary adhesive/sealant suitable for pressurised pipe-
work applications.
These can be extended with the use of suitable 50 mm I/D hose secured with
a worm drive clip. Ensure all connections are air tight. Tighten them enough
to secure the hose during pressurised operation, but not so tight as to crack
the plastic inlet/outlet connectors.
Where the pump is to be a permanent fixture, vibration and strain on
adjacent parts can be reduced by the insertion of a short flexible section of
hose between any rigid pipework and the immediate area of the pump.
Any air leaks in the suction line will inhibit priming and reduce the capacity of
the pump. Ensure there are no kinks in any flexible hose used.
The performance of your pump will be affected by the diameter of the inlet
pipe - any restriction will greatly reduce the flow. We recommend that you
always use a pipe diameter at least equal to, or greater than the diameter of
the pump connections i.e. 50 mm diameter.
To prevent unnecessary strain or possible distortion to the pump, ensure that
adequate support is provided to the hoses and or pipes. They will be
considerably heavier when filled with water.
It is suggested that suction and delivery isolation valves are fitted in order to
isolate the pump. A gate valve may be installed in-line on the delivery side
(outlet port) of the pump which can be adjusted as required to regulate the
flow of water and can assist in priming the pump.
Protect the pump and pipework from freezing with the addition of suitable
lagging. The formation of ice may cause serious damage.

OPERATION
1. Open any valves in the pipeline.
2. If operating the pump for the first
time, unscrew the filter cover on
top of the pump using the wrench
supplied and prime the pump by
filling completely with water.
Note: The pump is only self- priming
when filled with water. Refilling is
only necessary if the pump has
been drained, or if all the water
has been lost.
3. Connect to the power supply and switch on. Water should start to flow
through the system. Check for any leaks and repair as necessary.
4. If the motor fails to start, or the pump does not deliver water, refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9. Never operate the pump when not filled
with water or if the inlet is blocked.
•The level of water in the pump can be seen through the transparent
filter cover.
Note: Filling the suction pipe with water will speed up the priming process,
and it is suggested that a non-return valve be fitted to the end of the
suction pipe.
5. Stop the pump by switching off the power supply.
CARE DURING USE
1. Do not allow the pump to run dry, otherwise the seal between the pump
and motor may be damaged. If a leak is noticed at this point, it may
indicate that the seal is worn and therefore in need of replacement.
Contact your CLARKE dealer, or the Clarke International Service
Department for advice.
2. In the event of a blockage, where debris has entered the suction
chamber, the sieve and chamber can be cleaned out as described
under MAINTENANCE.
3. Should contaminants come into contact with the pump, flush through with
cold water as soon as possible to prevent damage to the pump. DO NOT
USE for pumping chemicals or other corrosive liquids (other than pool
purification chemicals in their correct mix ratio).
4. If the pump is being used to drain the pool, ensure there is adequate
drainage and there is no risk of damage to property as a result of water
being discharged. If a flexible hose must be laid across a roadway,
protect it with wooden planking.

MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance required is a regular inspection to ensure that debris is
not blocking the passage of water through the pump.
Clean the filter basket periodically
after closing any inlet and delivery
valves and removing the filter cover,
using the wrench provided. Lift out
the filter basket and clean it in water,
check the cover O-ring is in good
condition before reassembly.
If you suspect the pump is blocked
by silt, leaf debris etc, disconnect it
from the mains supply and backflush
to clear any blockage though the
drain plug. You will need to disconnect the outlet hose and lift out the non-
return valve to do this.
Always keep the pump in a clean condition, checking regularly for loose
bolts or a damaged power cable etc.
AFTER USE
After use, and if the pump will not be used over the winter period, or
whenever there is danger of freezing, always drain the pump body. If the
pump has been used with contaminated or salty water, it should be
thoroughly flushed with clean water following use, both inside and out. It
should then be drained before replacing the drain plug, and covered over, if
not already installed in a clean, dry environment sheltered from the weather.
Remember to re-prime the pump when returning to service.
In the event that dismantling and overhaul of the pump is necessary,
contact your CLARKE International Service Department on 020-8988-7400.
ACCESSORIES
A wide range of accessories is available, including Filters, Hoses and clips,
Couplings and 90°Hose Adaptors, etc. Contact your Clarke dealer for further
information. The use of parts other than genuine Clarke replacement parts
may result in possible safety hazards or decreased machine performance,
and will invalidate your warranty.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Do not dispose of this product with general household waste. It must be
disposed of according to the laws governing Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment at a recognised disposal facility. Any redundant
accessories and packaging should be sorted and taken to a recycling
centre to be disposed of appropriately.
