Work steps
1.
Installation of the guide system: about 3-6 h
(see the installation and operating instructions for
the guide system).
2.
Preparing the pump for operation on a guide sys-
tem: about 1-3 h
(see the installation and operating instructions for
the guide system).
3.
Installing the pump: about 3-5 h
• Check that the guide system is firmly fixed and
functions properly.
• Secure the lifting equipment to the pump with
the shackle, lift the pump, and then lower slowly
onto the guide pipes in the operating space.
• Hold the power supply cables slightly taut when
lowering.
• When the pump is connected to the guide
system, ensure that the power supply cables are
secured adequately to prevent them falling down
and or being damaged.
• Have the electrical connections made by a quali-
fied electrician.
• The pressure connection is sealed by its own
weight.
4.
Installing optional accessories, such as dry-running
protection or level controls.
5.
Starting up the pump: about 2-4 h
• As described in the "Commissioning" section
• For new installation: Flood the operating space
• Vent the pressure pipe.
5.3.3. Portable wet well installation
In this installation type, the pump has to be
equipped with a pump foot (available as an option).
This is attached to the suction port and ensures the
minimum ground clearance and a secure footing
if placed on a solid bearing surface. In this ver-
sion, the pump can be positioned anywhere in the
operating space. If used in an operating space with
a soft bearing surface, a hard base must be used to
prevent sinking. A pressure hose is connected on
the pressure side.
If operated for longer periods of time in this in-
stallation type, the pump must be fastened to the
floor. This prevents vibration and ensures quiet and
low-wearing running.
If the motor emerges from immersion during oper-
ation, the following operating parameters must be
strictly observed:
• The max. fluid temperature and ambient tempera-
ture is 104 °F (40 °C).
• Specifications for "non-immersed operating mode"
Installation and operating instructions Wilo-Rexa PRO
CAUTION: beware of burns!
The housing parts can heat up to well above
104 °F (40 °C). There is a risk of burns! After
switching it off, let the pump cool down to am-
bient temperature.

Work steps
1.
Preparing pumps: about 1 h
• Install the pump foot on the suction connection.
• Install the pipe elbow on the pressure connection.
• Fasten the pressure hose to the pipe elbow with
a hose clip.
Alternatively, a Storz pipe coupling can be
installed on the pipe elbow and a Storz hose cou-
pling can be installed on the pressure hose.
2.
Installing the pump: about 1-2 h
• Position pump in installation location. If neces-
sary, secure lifting equipment to the pump with
a shackle, lift the pump, and then lower to the
intended location (sump, pit).
• Check that the pump is vertical and on a solid
bearing surface. Avoid sinking.
• Route the power supply cable so it cannot be
damaged.
• Have the electrical connections made by a quali-
fied electrician.
• Route the pressure hose so that it is not damaged
and fasten it at certain points (e.g. outflow).
DANGER: risk of pressure hose becoming sepa-
rated!
Uncontrolled separation or movement of the
pressure hose can result in injuries. Secure the
pressure hose appropriately. Prevent buckling of
the pressure hose.

Starting up the pump: about 1-3 h
• As described in the "Commissioning" section
5.3.4. Stationary dry well installation
In this installation type, the operating space is di-
vided into a collector tank and a machine room. The
fluid is collected in the collector tank and the pump
is installed in the machine room. The operating
space must be prepared according to the manufac-
turer's configuration or planning guide. The pump
