TriFlo Spa Bath Pump
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TriFlo spa bath pump. The TriFlo spa bath
pump has been specifically designed for spa bath applications to ensure that you have
optimum spa jet performance and many years of trouble free operation.
The TriFlo pump internal design allows the water to self drain so that there is no residue
water left in the pump when the spa is emptied in accordance with Local Health
Regulations.
TriFlo spa bath pumps are designed for spa bath operation only and should not be used in
chemically treated water or any other purpose without seeking written approval from
Edgetec Systems Pty Ltd for the application.
TriFlo Models and Operation Guide

Installation Instructions (refer diagram 1)
1. To ensure optimum performance of your spa bath the TriFlo pump should be
located as close as possible to your spa bath. To ensure high efficiency of
your TriFlo pump, use the minimum amount of pipe fittings during your pump
to spa bath installation. Correct installation allows water to drain from pipe
work to pump and from pump to the self drain suction fitting in the bath.
2. The pump can be located internally or externally. If you are fitting the pump
externally, we recommend that the pump have a protective cover with
adequate ventilation (minimum area 50cm²).
3. Internal installation must have adequate ventilation (minimum area 50cm²)
for the pump motor. Inadequate ventilation may cause the motor to over
heat and cut out on thermal over load.
4. Install the TriFlo pump as per diagram 1 (using the least amount of elbows, if
required). It is most important that the suction line be installed with a
minimum of 5º gradient (refer Diagram 1) as this allows the water to drain
from the pump and pipe work when the bath is emptied.
5. The pump should never be installed as shown in diagram 2
6. The pump return line should be installed below the water level of the bath, if
the return line is above the water level the pump can air lock and may not
prime (pump will start but the spa bath jets are not operating). Should this
occur you will have to activate the air bleed valve located on the pump
(Refer to Activating Air Bleed; diagram 4).
7. The pump to be fixed to the frame or support through the pump mounting
points in the pump base (refer Diagram 4) with appropriate fasteners. Two
anti-vibration isolation washer buttons are provided with the pump for the
fasteners.
8. Barrel unions only require to be hand tightened, over tightening may cause
damage to the unions and or o rings. Do not use stillsons or any other
mechanical leverage.
9. Before connecting the pump to the pipe work, ensure that all the pipe work is
clear of any debris as small particles can cause blockage to spa jets or the
pump impeller causing serious damage.
10. IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT:
Installation of the TriFlo pump must have access for servicing the pump or
pipe work. A service access panel must be provided on every installation to
allow pump removal for service (if required)
Electrical Connection
1. Spa bath pumps must be fitted in accordance with the relevant national
wiring rules and electrical standards, particularly AS 3000 or equivalent.
2. The TriFlo spa bath pump is fitted with a standard lead and three pin plug for
240-220V 50Hz power supply.
3. The spa bath pump power connection must be accessible so that it can be
independently switched off in case of an emergency but must not be
accessible by the bath user.
4. Edgetec highly recommends that the pump be supplied by an isolating
transformer or supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated
residual operating current < 30 mA.
5. If damage occurs to the power cord it must be replaced by Edgetec or an
authorised service agent or suitably qualified person.

Your spa bath pump should be installed on a well drained location or
on a suitable drain tray to avoid water damage to property should any
leaks occur from pipe work, connections or normal wear.
Air Tube Connection “Auto-Heat & Xtra- Heat Models” (refer diagram 3)
1. Supplied with your spa pump is a 4 metre roll of 3mm clear air tube, fit one
end of the air tube to the air button (supplied with the spa bath) on the spa
bath.
2. Uncoil the air tube so that you can connect it to the air switch located on the
pump (refer diagram 3) at the rear of the pump motor on the capacitor
cover.
3. Cut off excess tube and ensure that the tube is not kinked, do not wrap or
loop excess tube around frame work of the bath or pipe work as this may
cause the air button not to operate correctly.
Touch Pad Cable Connection “Sensa-Touch Model” (refer diagram 5)
1. Supplied on your spa bath is the Sensa Touch Pad, connected to the touch
pad will be a 4 metre data cable.
2. Uncoil the data cable and you will see that one end is already connected to
the touch pad on the spa bath.
3. Connect the other end to the pump as per diagram 5, ensuring that the data
cable connection clip is being inserted correctly. Push the clip in until you
hear it “click” into the fixed position.
4. Push the protective rubber cap that is on the cable over the circular housing
(refer diagram 5) to protect the touch pad cable connection. Failure to do
this may void your warranty.
5. When power is activated there will be a “Green”indicator light activated on
the touch pad to show that the connection is fitted correctly from the pump to
the touch pad.
Start Up
1. Fill the spa bath to approximately 50mm above the spa jets, check the pump
and pipe connection for any leaks.
2. Ensure that the pump power outlet is switched to the “on“ position.
3. Auto-Heat & Xtra-Heat pumps. Press the air button on the spa bath, the pump
will start and purge the air from the system and your spa will start to operate.
To stop the spa, simply press the air button again.
4. Sensa-Touch pump. Press the pump symbol on the touch pad, the pump will
start and purge the air from the system and your spa will start to operate. To
stop the spa, simply press the pump symbol on the touch pad.
5. Spa-Key. Press the pump symbol on the hand set, the pump will start and
purge the air from the system and your spa will start to operate. To stop the
spa, simply press the pump symbol on the hand set.
6. If the pump fails to prime you may have an air lock, please refer to activating
air bleed.
!
Never run your spa pump without water as this can cause
serious damage to the mechanical seal which may cause the
spa pump to leak. Running the pump without water will void
your warranty.

Activating Air Bleed
Prior to August 2012 the air bleed fitted was a sealed unit which required a drill operation
to activate the air bleed.
From August2012 the Air Bleed has a Twist Cap which will open the Air Bleed when the
Cap is rotated Fully Anticlockwise. (No Drilling Required)
(Pre August 2012) - refer diagram 4
1. The air bleed valve is manufactured in the closed position and if your pump is
installed as per diagram 1 you will not need to activate this valve.
2. If your spa pump is not priming, you will have to activate the air bleed valve. To
do this you will require a 4mm or 3/16 drill bit. Carefully drill out the blank in the
air bleed elbow ensuring that you do not drill through the outer wall (refer
diagram 4), the air bleed valve is now activated.
3. It is common for air bleed valves to “Squirt” water when sealing, this will occur
every time the pump is switched on. Once the internal valve is seated, the water
“squirt” will stop.
4. To avoid any water damage, we recommend that you place a 10mm tube (not
supplied) over the air bleed barb and place the tube in a position where the
excess water will not cause any damage (i.e. into a drain or outside).
From August 2012
From August 2012 the Air Bleed has a Twist Cap which will open the Air Bleed when
the Cap is rotated Fully Anticlockwise.
Rotating the Twist Cap Fully Clockwise will Close the air Bleed.
The pump is shipped with the air bleed in the closed position.
1. The air bleed valve is supplied in the closed
position and if your pump is installed as per
diagram 1 you will not need to activate this
valve.
2. If your spa pump is not priming, you will
have to activate the air bleed valve. To do
this Rotate the Red Cap air Bleed valve Fully
Anticlockwise - the air bleed valve is now
activated.
3. It is common for air bleed valves to “Squirt”
water when sealing, this will occur every
time the pump is switched on. Once the
internal valve is seated, the water “squirt”
will stop.
4. To avoid any water damage, we recommend that you place a 10mm tube (not
supplied) over the air bleed barb and place the tube in a position where the
excess water will not cause any damage (i.e. into a drain or outside).
