•
The units described in this Manual are specially designed for the pre-filtering and
recirculation of water in swimming pools.
•
They are designed to work with clean water at temperatures that do not exceed 35 ºC.
•
All assembly, electrical installation and maintenance work must be carried out by qualified,
authorized personnel who have carefully read the installation and service instructions.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if

way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
•
Our pumps may only be assembled and installed in pools that are compliant with standard
IEC / HD 60364-7-702 and required national rules. Should you have any doubts please
consult your dealer.
•
The pump can not be installed in the Zone 0 and Zone 1. To see drawing refer to Figure
1 - Installation zones.
•
The pump is intended to be used while fastened to a support or while secured in a specific
location in a horizontal position.
•
See Table 2 - Specifications for maximum pump pressure (H max.), in meters.
•
The most common practice is to fit a sump with a suitable outlet for the water where
flooding is likely to occur.
•
If a self-priming pump is to be fitted above the water level, the pressure differential to the
pump suction pipe should not be higher than 0.010 MPa (1 mH20). Make sure that the
suction pipe is as short as possible as a longer pipe would increase suction time and the
installation's load losses.
•
Disconnect the device from the power supply, check that the load has completely stopped
and wait for 5 minutes before doing any work on the device or the load used.
