1. Plan the position of the pump
2. Piping
The pump must be installed and serviced by a suitably qualified person in
order to avoid hazard. Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail,
causing severe injury or property damage.
These instructions are a guide only. Should you the installer or owner of
the product be unfamiliar with the correct installation or operation of this
product you should contact a suitably qualified person for advice.
Do not connect system to high pressure or mains water system.
This pump is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
pump.
The EnviroMAX 800 is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from
electrical supply during installation and any subsequent service work.
a. Have enough ventilation to keep ambient temperature below the motor’s rated ambient temperature
whenever the pump is running. If installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have
adequate ventilation (200sq.cm min, inlet & outlet) and air circulation Allow 200mm to keep rear of
motor clear.
b. Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding and be protected from excess moisture.
c. Be solid, level, rigid and vibration free.
d. To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount. Fixing holes accept 12mm fasteners.
e. Be within 2m of a power outlet for electrical connection (refer to AS/NZS 3000 for rules regarding
connection ofelectrical equipment in pool zones).
f. Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
a. Use only Australian Standard PVC pressure pipe. For best performance use at least 50mm diameter
pipe for all connections to the pump. Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connections
(50mm) and use larger pipe for long suction distances.
b. To avoid stress on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes independently. Place these
supports as close to the pump as possible.
c. To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the pump and run pipe away
from the pump.
For best performance, allow pump
suction inlet height to be as far
below water level as possible and
allow the use of short, direct suction
pipe with minimum bends (to reduce
friction losses).
For best performance, allow pump
suction inlet height to be as far
below water level as possible and

Installation

3. Pool Outlets
4. Electrical
a. The pump suction system must provide protection against hazard of suction entrapment or hair
entrapment/entanglement. The pool outlet piping must be in accordance with the latest AS1926.3
standard
b. Suction outlet covers and skimmers must have been tested and found to comply with the latest
AS1926.3 standard or ASME/ANSI specification for Suction Fittings.
a. Electrical installation shall be in accordance with the national wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) taking into
account its ratings (Class I, IPX5). The pump is supplied with a standard Australian 10 amp plug and 2
metres of cord. Select the correct Pool Zone for installation.
b. An RCD with maximum rated residual current of 30mA is required for the power supply to the pump.
Additionally, if a suitable socket outlet is not available a weatherproof socket must be installed by an
electrician in a suitable location. RCD tripping indicates an electrical problem. If RCD trips and will not
reset have a qualified electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
c. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage pump and voids warranty.
d. Voltage at pump must not be more than 6% above or 10% below motor nameplate rated voltage or
pump may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90%
or more than 106% of rated voltage when pump is running at full load, consult the power company.
Do not use extension leads as they are unsafe in
and around the Pool Zone.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause
death.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock,
turn OFF power to pump and remove plug from
outlet before working on electrical connections.
5. Equipotential bonding
If equipotential bonding is required, connect all metal parts of the swimming pool or spa structure and to
all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping in accordance with the wiring rules. Run a wire
from the equipotential bonding terminal on the pump (bottom, left motor bolt with serrated washer) to the
pool bonding structure.

Installation

NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage
and flooding. Fill pump with water before starting motor.
Freezing conditions will damage the unit, as water expands as it freezes. Ensure
that the EnviroMAX 800 is located so that it is not prone to freezing, or ensure
that the product is disconnected and dried of water during cold conditions.
Trapped air in system can cause explosion. Ensure all air is out of the system
before operating or testing equipment
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures. To reduce the
risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least 20
minutes before trying to work on it.
Small children using pool must ALWAYS have close adult supervision
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do
not use or operate pump, pool/spas if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken,
or loose. Follow the guidelines below for a pump installation which minimises
risk to users of pool and spas.
NEVER tighten or loosen trap lid while pump is operating.
1. Priming the pump
It is not necessary to lubricate
the oring. The original equipment
O-ring contains a permanent
internal lubricant
a. Before removing trap lid, SWITCH OFF POWER SUPPLY to pump.
b. CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES on suction and discharge pipes, if present.
c. Remove the trap lid (turn anti-clockwise)
d. Fill trap tank with water.
e. Check the lid o-ring and sealing surface, ensure there is no dust or debris on either, and replace the
lid (turn clockwise to tighten by hand only - no wrenches!).
f. Open the shut-off valves on the suction and discharge pipes, if present.
g. Release all air from filter, pump and piping system (refer filter owner's manual). In a flooded suction
system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime itself when suction and discharge valves
are opened and air is released.
h. Switch on power to the pump to start.
i. Pump should start to prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical height of suction lift and
horizontal length of suction piping but is generally between 30 seconds to 3 minutes under normal
installation conditions.
j. The EnviroMAX 800 will start slowly but ramp up to high speed for the first 2 minutes to assist priming.
It will then switch to the selected speed.
* Should the pump not prime, ensure that all valves are open, lint trap is clear of debris and suctions and suction pipe end is submersed in water, and that there
are no leaks in suction pipe. See troubleshooting guide.
