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 efficiency
• A foot valve (3) with filter (4) should be
fitted at about half a metre below the
fluid 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 fitted 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 fix the electropump to
the supporting base, connect the
system with a section of non flexible
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 fixed by means of
screws are sealed. Avoid applying excessive stress to tighten the screws of connections or of other components.
Use a Teflon 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 fix 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 fitted in a stable position in order to avoid falls and protect it from inundation.
Contact a specialised electrician.
