Davey MaxiFlow SPA POOL PUMP - Manual (Page 4)

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.
If the assembly is to be transported to site, the pump must be installed so that it could not be
damaged during transport (no undue strain on the plastic parts) or cause damage to other
components.
When connecting to the pump ensure that the unions (connecting devices) have an “O” ring
fitted. Also ensure that the connections are aligned, as any degree of miss-alignment will
cause a leak. The unions need only be hand tightened, if leakage occurs it is probably due to
alignment problems, and not to insufficient tightening.
Connect the pump to the controller output; ensure that the correct output has been selected.
Removal of the Pump from Pipework
Should it be necessary to remove the pump, follow these instructions:
1. Switch off the power and remove the plug from the power source.
2. Close the water valves on the pool return and the pump inlet pipework.
3. Remove the discharge & suction barrel unions taking care not to lose the
orings.
4. Move the pipework with the barrel unions attached until the pump can be pulled
clear.
Water Quality
Maintaining balanced water chemistry is important to the life of your spa pool pump.
This pump is designed to be used with Pool & Spa water, balanced in accordance
with Langelier Saturation Index, with a pH level of between 7.2 and 7.8 and is
regularly treated with a chlorine sanitising agent with the level not exceeding 3PPM.
Please consult your local pool shop regularly to have your water tested.
NOTE: If the pump is hard wired into a time clock or another automatic
control, the wiring should be removed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: When making any enquiries about your Davey MaxiFlow be certain
to quote the model number from the nameplate located on motor.
