3. INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
The pump should be located as close to the water as practicable and mounted on a firm base in a well-
drained position, high enough to prevent any flooding. It is the installer’s/owners responsibility to locate
the pump so that it can be accessed for service and maintenance.
The rear fan shroud should be installed at a minimum distance of 100 mm away from any walls or
obstructions. This is to allow adequate air flow from the fan to cool the motor.
Overheating due to a lack of cooling voids warranty.
WEATHER PROTECTION
It is recommended that the pump be protected from the weather.
Enclosures should be ventilated to allow a free flow of air for the fan cooled motor.
POWER CONNECTION
Oasis Aquatics PLT Series Pool & Spa Pump are suitable for connection to a nominal 240-volt 50Hz
power supply.
The motor is equipped with a flex and 3-pin plug. If a power outlet is not available within 2 meters of the
pump, a 3-pin power point in a safe, dry place may need to be provided by an electrician.
Note:
•Pumps must be either
Supplied by an isolating transformer, or
Supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA
•Extension cords are unsafe around pools and must be avoided
•If the supply cord of this product is damaged the dealer or manufacturer must replace it, with
genuine Oasis Aquatics pool and spa pump spares
•Water temperature is not to exceed 45 degrees
PIPE CONNECTION
A barrel union is provided for connecting to the piping from the pool.
The pumps are designed to accept the following PVC Pipes:
•Inlet PVC Position 40mm pipe ID or 50mm fitting ID PVC pressure pipe fittings
•Outlet PVC Position 40mm pipe ID or 50mm fitting ID PVC pressure pipe fittings
The use of pipe with a smaller ID than those specified above is not recommended and may cause
damage to the pump voiding warranty.
A straight length of pipe measuring no less than 300mm should be installed in front of the inlet of the
pump allowing quieter and smoother operation.
Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows, which may cause suction
difficulties.
The outlet piping from the pump should be connected to the inlet connection on the swimming pool filter
(at the filter valve). For pump installations above water level, it generally requires a check valve in the
suction line.
Do not use type ‘P’ (green) plumber’s glue on the barrel unions as this may cause damage to the
material used.
Always install pump for maintenance and service accessibility.

PLT SERIES POOL & SPA PUMP - INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Page 6of 13
STARTING THE PUMP
To operate efficiently andto prevent damage to the pump there must be a free flow of water to and from
the pump. Before starting ensure that:
▪All pipe work is correctly sealed
▪The pool/spa water level is at the correct height
▪Barrel unions on the inlet and outlet are hand tightened and the pipework is installed square to
the pump.
▪That all appropriate valves are open and there is nothing preventing the flow of water through the
system
1. First prime the pump by removing the strainer basket lid and filling the strainer basket area with
water. Replace the lid, ensuring that it seals on the large o-ring.
2. Connect to the power supply and switch on.
3. Allow the pump to run, so that any air trapped in the pipe work and pump may be expelled.
4. If prime is not established within approximately two minutes, as evidenced by a strong flow of
water from the outlet, switch off the pump for 10 secs and repeat the procedure.
Continued evidence of air under the hair and lint pot lid indicates an air leak in the suction piping
work, which should be rectified to avoid pump damage.
5. After cleaning the lint basket, if water flow through the pump is constantly difficult to obtain at
start-up, then an examination of the system to determine the reason and correct the problem
should be performed. (ie. Check valve, air leaks, faulty seal/s, crack lid)
PUMP OPERATION
For optimum pump performance, the strainer basket housing should always be full of water and free
from air bubbles.
The water levelof the pool should always be maintained to at least halfwayup the skimmer box ensuring
water is in the pump at all times. From time to time it may be necessary to re-prime the pump. This
should be carried out as described above.
LIMITS
Water temperature Max 45°C Ambient Temperature Max 55°C DBa @ 1 meter 62
WATER QUALITY
Maintaining balanced water chemistry is important to the life of your pool pump.
This pump is designed to be used with Pool & Spa water, balanced in accordance with Langlier
Saturation Index, with a pH level of between 7.2 and 7.8 and is regularly treated with a chlorine
sanitizing agent with the level not exceeding recommended chlorine levels.
Please consult your local pool shop regularly to have your water tested.

PLT SERIES POOL & SPA PUMP - INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Page 7of 13
EMPTYING THE HAIR AND LINT POT
The hair and lint pot strainer basket should be inspected frequently through the transparent lid and
emptied when a build up of rubbish is evident. Follow the directions below.
1. Switch off pump.
2. Unscrew the hair and lint pot strainer basket lid anti-clockwise and remove.
3. Remove the hair and lint pot strainer basket by lifting upwards from its housing.
4. Empty the trapped refuse from the basket. Hose out with water if necessary.
5. Check the hair and lint pot strainer basket for cracks, replace the strainer basket in the pump if
OK.
6. Replace the lid and ensure that it seals on the large rubber o-ring.
Firm hand tightness only is required.
•The o-ring & thread can be lubricated with silicone grease.

4. SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
If you suspect for any reason your Oasis Aquatics PLT Series Pool & Spa Pumps are not
performing or running as it should be, here are some handy troubleshooting tips that may assist
you.
If the pump does not operate, one of the following conditions may apply:
•The power is not connected. For 240 volt only
•Check the power point by plugging in a portable appliance to ensure power is available
•Check fuses and the main power supply switch
•Automatic overload is tripped. The pump has an in-built thermal overload, which will re-set
automatically after the motor has cooled following an overheating period. Determine the cause of
the overload tripping and rectify
•Pump needs to be disconnected for 10 secs and reconnected
•Blockage is preventing the pump from rotating
•If plugged into chlorinator, disconnect and reconnect directly to power after 10 secs. If it then
works, please check your chlorinator manual
•Motor is burnt out - burning smell is evident. Replacement is required
•If you are unable toresolve any installation or operation difficulties with your Oasis Aquatics pool
and spa pump, contact the supplier from whom the pump was purchased or your nearest
Authorized Oasis Aquatics pool and spa pump Pool Equipment Service Centre. If any further
assistance is required, contact the Oasis Aquatics Customer Service Centre at the address
indicated in this manual
If the pump runs but there is no water flow or water flow is reduced, the following
condition may apply:
•The filter requires backwashing or it is blocked.
•The pump is not primed. (See Starting the pump).
•There are air leaks in the suction piping. Check all piping and eliminate leaks, also check for a
loose strainer basket lid. Air bubbles in the water flowing back to the pool would indicate a leak in
the suction to the pump allowing air to infiltrate the pipe work.
•The pump is not able to get water from the pool. Check that the valves to the pump are fully open
and that the pool water level is up to the skimmer box.
•A leaking pump seal may also prevent operating. Evidence of this would be water on the ground
under the pump.
•Blockage in the piping or pump. Remove the hair and lint pot strainer basket and check for any
blockage to the pump impeller entry.
•To check if impeller is rotating, please lodge a flat-head screwdriver in the back motor through
the fan cowl and twist.
Removal of the Pump from Pipe work
To remove the pump, follow these instructions:
1. Switch off the power and remove the plug from the power source.
2. Close the water valves on the pool return and the pump inlet pipe work.
3. Remove the discharge & suction barrel unions taking care not to lose the o-rings.
4. Move the pipe work with the barrel unions attached until the pump can be moved clear.

PLEASE NOTE
•If the pump is hard wired, a qualified electrician should remove the wiring
•On some models the pump is fitted with an internal check valve to reduce reverse flow of water
through the pump
•Barrel unions need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or silicones are required
•When making any enquiries about your Oasis Aquatics PLT Series Pool & Spa Pump be
certain to quote the model number from the nameplate located on motor
