INSTALLATION (SEE FIG. 1)
CHAPTER 3
• Use a suction pump (2) with a diameter
equivalent to that of the suction mouth
of the electropump (1)
• If the height (HA) is over 4 meters use a
tube with a larger diameter
• The suction line should be perfectly
airtight
• No elbows and/or slopes should be
present to prevent the formation
of air locks that could affect the
electropump eciency
• A foot valve (3) with lter (4) should be
tted at about half a metre below the
uid that has to be pumped (HI) on one
end of the line
Protect the electropump and all pipes from bad weather or freezing conditions.
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if this is connected to
the mains.
WARNING
DANGER
When installing, please ensure electropump is disconnected from electrical supply. Pumps in this series are not
suitable for use in a swimming pool and the relevant cleaning and servicing operations.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
• Load losses can be reduced using
delivery piping with a diameter
equivalent or greater than the
electropump mouth (5)
• It is advisable to install a check
valve (6) directly on the delivery line
to prevent the electropump being
damaged by "water hammer"
• A cut-off valve (7) should also be
installed downstream from the check
valve, to facilitate servicing operations
• Piping should be tted so that
vibrations, when existing, tension and
weight do not affect the pump
• Piping should be routed along the
shortest and straighter track, avoiding
an excessive number of bends
• Verify that the motor is properly
ventilated
• For permanent installations, it is
advisable to x the electropump to the
supporting base, connect the system
with a section of non exible pipe and
insert a layer of rubber (or another
anti-vibration material) between the
supporting base and the pump, in
order to reduce vibrations
• The site of installation must be stable
and dry to guarantee the stability of
the pump
Connection, suction and delivery pipes should be connected with the utmost care. Make sure that all connections xed by means of
screws are sealed. Avoid applying excessive stress to tighten the screws of connections or of other components.
Use a Teon tape to completely seal all joints.
To use the pump in continuous mode for swimming pools, garden ponds and in similar installations, it is necessary to x the
electropump to a stable support. Mobile electropumps can be used for swimming pools, garden ponds or similar installations, only if no
people is contact with water or if the electric system has a safety cut-out switch.
The pump should be tted in a stable position in order to avoid falls and protect it from inundation.
Contact a specialised electrician.
ATTENTION
If installed for use with drinking water, clean the pump prior to installation - also clean if left unused for prolonged periods of time.
For drinking water, all materials used upstream and downstream of the pump must also be suitable for contact with drinking water for
human consumption.
