INSTALLATION 5. Installation 5.1 LOCATION ATTENTION Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring. The place where the pump motor is to be located must be dry. In all events, there must be a drain in the floor as a prevention against flooding. If the pump is to be located in a damp place, a ventilation system must be provided in order to prevent the formation of condensation. In the case of very confined areas, cold air can reach a low temperature which requires a ventilation system whereby the atmospheric temperature does not exceed 104ºF. Store pool chemicals away from pump. It is important for there to be sufficient space to permit the motor block to be dismounted horizontally and the air filter vertically (see minimum space diagram in fig. 1, page 22). 5.2 FOUNDATION ATTENTION The foundation must be located away from corrosive or flammable liquids. Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.) listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor's rated ambient temperature whenever the pump is running. • Be Solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. • Be provided with necessary hold-down bolts, washers, and shims. • Allow pump inlet to be as close to water level as possible. • Use short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses). • Maximum suction lift is 10' (3 m). • Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping. • If vertical suction lift is higher than 5 feet, installation of a foot valve at lowest portion of the vertical suction pipe may be needed. • Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding. • Be protected from excess moisture. • Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping. Choose a solid, flat surface for mounting the pump. It's important to choose an area that has a drain, so that the pump motor will not be in danger of going underwater. Be sure there is enough space and light around the pump for routine maintenance. 10
