•
Install the pump within three hundred millimetres (300mm) above water level
and 2 metres (2m) away from the edge of the pool to protect from water Consult
the standards in force in the country of installation to verify the correct distance.
•
The pump should not be elevated more than one metre (1m) above the water
level of the pool.
•
A check valve is recommended on the suction and return line of the pump if the
pump is located below the water level.
3.2 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Observe the direction of the hydraulic connections.
•
Install isolation valves on both the suction and return lines for a pump located
below water level.
•
E30 iQ Pumps come equipped with unions on both the suction and discharge
ports.
•
The piping must be well supported and not forced together where it will
experience constant stress.
•
Always use properly sized valves.
•
Use the fewest fittings possible. Each additional fitting has the effect of moving
the equipment farther away from the water.
•
To Reduce the Risk of Fire, install pool equipment in an area where debris will not
collect on or around the equipment. Keep surrounding area clear of all debris such
as paper, leaves, pine needles. and other combustible materials.
•
In order to prevent premature failure or damage to the pump motor, protect the
pump from direct water exposure from sprinklers, water runoff from rooftops
and drainage, etc. Failure to comply may cause pump failure and may void the
warranty.
NOTE
If more than ten (10) suction fittings are needed, the pipe size must be
increased.
