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. Extension cords
are unsafe around pools or spas-and should be avoided. If the supply cord of this product is
damaged it must be replaced by the dealer or manufacturer, with genuine Davey spares. All
pumps must be supplied through a Residual Current Device (operating current < 30 mA). This
is normally fitted in the supply to the control system.
Pipe Connection
The MaxiFlow pumps are non-self priming; this means that the pump must be mounted below
the minimum water line. This MaxiFlow pump is designed to be operated with 50mm diameter
pipe-work. To get best performance ensure that there are a minimum number of bends in
the pipe-work. It is preferable to use flexible piping in order to get the best performance. The
plumbing should have no restrictions that will impede or restrict the water flow.
The pump should be firmly secured to the base of the Spa, preferably it should be mounted
on some resilient material to reduce any possible vibration. When installing any pump ensure
that it has adequate ventilation, which is most important. Lack of adequate ventilation will
cause the pump to over-heat and can cause damage to the windings, the basic insulation, the
bearing lubrication, and the start capacitor and could cause frequent tripping of the thermal
shutdown switch.
If the pump and filter are located below pool water level, it is necessary
to fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and the skimmer box
or suction inlet and in the return pipe from the filter to the pool.
Warning! Ensure that an electrical isolation switch is located with easy
access so that the pump can be switched off in an emergency.
CAUTION:
In the interest of safety, we advise that all brands and types of spa pool pumps
must be installed in accordance with AS3000 wiring rules or equivalent
Davey Water Products recommends that all installations are fitted with
earth leakage or residual current protection devices.
This pump is not to be used by children or infirm persons and must not
be used as a toy by children.
