3. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
GENERAL
-Our pumps may only be assembled and installed in pools or ponds that are compliant with stan-
dard HD 384.7.702. Should you have any doubts, please consult your dealer.
-The installation should follow standard IEC 60364-7-702 for swimming pools.
-The pump can be installed in zones 1 or 2.
-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 thereturnpipes completely perpendicularandcenteredin relation tothe portto beconnected
to prevent the pump and the pipe from being subjected to external stress, which apart from ma-
king tting dicult, could break them (Fig. 2).
-Fit thesuctionpiping ona slight2% slopetowards thepump to avoid theformationof airpockets
(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.
-If a self-priming pump is to be tted above the water level, the pressure dierential to the pump
suction pipe should not be higher than0.02 MPa (2mH2O). Ensure thatthe suction pipe isas short
as possible as a longer pipe would increase suction time and the installation’s load losses.
-Make sure that the pump is safe from possible ooding and receives dry ventilation.

ENGLISH
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.
-The unit shouldbe connected toan alternatingcurrentsupply (seedata on thepump’s plate) with
an earth connection, protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating
current that does not exceed 30 mA.
-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 connec-
tion 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.

4. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
PRIOR TO START-UP
- 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.
-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.
5. MAINTENANCE
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
equalto or below that indicatedon the manufacturer’srating plate.Ifthis informationis notavai-
lable, 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.
-Every time the pre-lter is opened, clean the seal and its housing of any impurities to ensure air-
tightness when the cap is closed (Fig. 5).
