INSTALLATION
The pump and cable system must be installed by a qualified specialist in accordance with the applicable local
safety regulations.
• The pump must be connected to the filter tank in accordance with the operating instructions for the filter.
• The pump must not be placed in the vicinity of corrosive or flammable chemicals. It must be placed at least 2
meters (with filter system) away from the swimming pool.
CAUTION:
The pump must be in Zone 2 (normally at least 2 meters from the swimming pool), the power connection
for the pump in Zone 3 (normally at least 3.5 m from the swimming pool). The requirements of the following
international standard apply Low-voltage electrical installations, Part 7-702: Requirements for special
installations or locations – Swimming pools and fountains (DIN VDE 0100-702/AA).
• Place the pump at a sufficient distance from the swimming pool to protect it from splashing water and rain.
• Provide adequate access to filter and hose connection and ensure that the valve nameplate is visible.
• CAUTION: Do not put the filter system into operation until a wall or surface skimmer has been installed to
catch coarse dirt such as leaves, twigs, etc. that could completely clog the filter. Large foreign objects can
easily damage the pump. Damage of this kind is not covered by the warranty.
WARNING REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM!
The operator must check and ensure the effectiveness of the grounding of the installation on the building side.
This must be checked by an authorized specialist.
• Before working on electrical connections, always disconnect the motor from the mains to avoid electric
shocks.
• If the residual current device (RCD) is triggered, this could indicate a problem / technical defect in the filter
pump. Disconnect the filter pump from the mains and check the correct function of the residual current device
by connecting another electrical device to it for a test. If the RCD continues to trip, please have it checked by
an electrician. In the event of a defect in the pump, please contact us.
• The supply voltage must correspond exactly to the voltage specification on the nameplate of the motor.
Incorrect voltage can result in fire or serious motor damage and will void the warranty. If in doubt, contact a
qualified electrician.
• The electrical installation should comply with the national regulations for electrical connections..
• The pump is equipped with a thermal protection feature.
TO BE CHECKED BEFORE COMMISSIONING
1. Check whether the mains voltage and frequency correspond to the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Before switching the pump on for the first time, check that the water level in the pool is higher than the water
inlet to the filter.
CAUTION: Switching on the pump without water can result in damage to the pump.
3. Make sure that the connections between the swimming pool and the filter system are secure.
