Your Davey Silensor ®
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from the Davey range of Pool and Spa
Equipment. You are assured of many years of reliable and efficient performance from your
Davey Silensor ® backed by Davey’s three year guarantee.
Davey Silensors ® have been designed to circulate swimming pool and spa water in conditions
set out in the Australian Standard for swimming pool water quality (AS 3633) or equivalent.
They should not be used for any other purpose without first consulting your Davey Dealer or
the Davey Customer Service Centre.
Davey design and build its own electric motors especially for its pumps. The matched motor
and “pumping end” are designed to provide the quietest operation while delivering maximum
water flow.
Davey’s innovative water cooled motor incorporates manual overload protection with a built-in
automatic thermostat designed to protect the motor from overheating. This protection will also
prevent ‘dry run’ damage.
Every Davey Silensor ® is thoroughly tested against a number of pressure, voltage, current
and mechanical performance parameters. Davey`s advanced pump manufacturing technology
provides reliable and efficient pumping performance that lasts and lasts.
Location
The pump should be located as close to the water as practicable and mounted on a firm base
in a well drained position, high enough to prevent any flooding. It is the installer’s/owners
responsibility to locate the pump such that the nameplate can be easily read and it can readily
accessed for service.
Weather Protection
It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather.
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. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage pump and filter and void warranty.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Routine Maintenance tasks – to maximise the life of your pool equipment
& personal safety, use this checklist once a week. Turn pump off first.
a. Make sure that any pressure gauges are in working condition and the
operating pressure is within limits as specified on the product.
b. Make sure that each suction inlet, and main drain has a cover that is
securely attached and in safe working condition.
c. Make sure that all skimmer covers are securely attached and in safe working
condition. These should be replaced every 3 to 4 years.
d. Remove any obstructions or debris from the main drain cover.
e. Ensure the skimmer baskets and the pump hair and lint pots are free of
leaves and debris at least once a week.
f. Remove obstructions and combustibles from around the pump motor.
g. Make sure all wiring connections are clean and that all wiring and electrical
equipment is in good condition. Damaged wiring must be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician as soon as damage is discovered.
h. Check water balance and sanitiser levels at your local pool shop.
WARNING! Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or
disembowel bathers. Do not block suction. Do not use or operate
swimming pools, spas or spa baths if a suction cover is broken, missing
or loose. Two suction covers and inlets must be provided into every pump
to avoid suction entrapment.
