Pipe Connection
(continued)
Ÿ
The maximum inlet water pressure
≤
0.15MPa
Ÿ
A set of mac unions are provided for connecting the pump to the pipe work. The circ
pump series are designed to accept 40mm PVC pressure pipe, the boost pump series
accept 50mm PVC pressure pipe.
Ÿ
The use of PVC pressure pipe smaller than 40mm (circ series) or 50mm (boost series) is
not recommended.
Ÿ
The pipe work should be adequately supported and secured to the mac union by glueing
the pipe to the inside of the union tail.
Ÿ
Mac union lock nuts are to be hand tightened. Do not use sealant, silicones or glues on
lock nuts.
Power Connection
Ÿ
SpaNET SmartFLO pumps are suitable for connection to a nominal 240V AC / 50Hz power
supply and are supplied with a flexible lead and AMP plug to facilitate easy connectivity
to a SpaNET spa controller.
Ÿ
This pump should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
Ÿ
All SmartFLO pump motors have built-in thermal protection.
Ÿ
Wires serving as equipotentional bonding conductors shall have a cross sectional area

between 2.5mm and 6mm and be equipped with suitable terminal receptacles.
Ÿ
Extension power cords are unsafe around spas and pools and should not be used.
Steps prior to starting pump
Before attempting to use the pump you must confirm that:
Ÿ
The pump has been installed in a safe and dry environment.
Ÿ
The enclosure that houses the pump has sufficient drainage in the event of leakage
Ÿ
Verify that the pump shaft turns freely.
Ÿ
Check the mains voltage and frequency of power supply match ratings label of pump.
Ÿ
The pipe work is correctly supported and barrel unions are tight and sealed.
Ÿ
The spa pool water level is at the correct height and the pump has been primed.
Ÿ
All isolating valves are open and there is nothing preventing flow of water into and out of
the pump.
WARNING: The pump should never be operated dry!
Running the pump without water may damage the mechanical seal causing the pump
to leak. Damage to seals from dry running of the pump is NOT covered by warranty.
