MaxiFlow SPA POOL PUMP Installation and Operating Instructions WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage. The installation of this product should be carried out by a person knowledgable in spa pool plumbing requirements following the Installation Instructions provided in this manual. Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.
Prior to using this pump you must ensure that: • The pump is installed in a safe and dry environment • The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage • Any transport plugs are removed • The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported • The pump is primed correctly • The power supply is correctly connected • All steps have been taken for safe operation Appropriate details for all of these items are contained in the following Installation and Operating Instructions.
Particular care should be taken if the installation is at a high altitude (Greater than 1000 metres), as this will cause motors to run hotter than normal. For installations at high altitudes a higher horsepower pump with a reduced impellor should be used. The pump environment should also be waterproof. If a cover is used to achieve the waterproofing ensure that there is sufficient air circulation for good ventilation.
Installation It is preferable to fit stop valves before and after the pump, this will enable the pump to be removed for maintenance without having to drain the spa. Most installations will have a filter of some description. If so it may be fitted on the inlet side of the pump; however it is recommended that it be fitted on the outlet side of the pump (pressure filter).
Starting the Pump To operate efficiently and prevent pump damage there must be a free flow of water to and from the pump. Before starting ensure that: - all pipework is correctly sealed. - the pool/spa water level is at the correct height. - that all appropriate valves are open and there is nothing preventing the flow of water through the system. 1. First prime the pump by ensuring that the pump is below the water level of the spa pool. 2.
Weather Protection It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Power Connection Davey MaxiFlow pumps are suitable for connection to a nominal 240 volt 50Hz power supply and are equipped with a flexlead and 3pin plug or AMP plug to allow connectability to a Davey Spa controller. If a power outlet is not available within 3 metres of the pump, a 3 pin power point in a safe, dry place, may need to be provided by an electrician.
POWER CONNECTIONS AND WIRING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED ELECTRICIAN. DANGER - Hazardous suction. Do not block water entry into filtration system with any part of your body as the pressure can trap hair or body parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction. Turn off pump immediately if someone becomes trapped. Caution! Do not add chemicals directly to the pool skimmer or suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and filter and void warranty.
Trouble Shooting This guide is intended as a guide for an experienced service person only. When making measurement make sure the power is disconnected first. If the pump runs but there is no water flow or water flow is reduced, the following condition may apply: 1. The pump is not primed. Re-prime as per instruction in ‘Starting the pump’ 2. There are air leaks in the suction piping. Check all piping and eliminate leaks.
