Pulse Pool Pump Installation & Operating Instructions – Part # 10-0030 Nov 2012 Page 3
General
The Pulse series pool pump has been specifically designed to operate todays swimming pools, its
high performance and high head flow characteristics will ensure that the Pulse pool pump will
operate with all your ancillary equipment including chlorinators, heaters, in floor cleaners and pool
cleaners.
Installation of the Pulse Pool Pump
Edgetec Systems Pty Ltd has applied the latest CAD design software in designing your Pulse Pool
Pump to ensure that you have many years of trouble free operation. Here are some simple
installation rules that should be followed when installing the Pulse pool pump;
1. Care should be taken to position the pump so that it has adequate drainage. Ensure the
motor cannot become wet or flooded and the pump location should be well ventilated.
The pump should be protected from direct sunlight and weather.
2. Ensure that the pump is secured onto a stable base. The pump mounting foot has
mounting points where the pump can to be bolted to the base to prevent movement.
3. The pump foot has an anti-vibration pad moulded into the base to minimise noise and
vibration. Failure to secure the pump to the base securely may cause damage and void the
warranty.
4. The pump must be accessible for maintenance and be easily removed for service. Ensure
that you allow enough area around the hair and lint pot basket for removal and cleaning.
5. The pump suction line requires a minimum of 50mm PVC pipe and should be kept as short
as possible with the minimum number of elbows and bends and no air trap for optimum
performance. The suction line must be installed below the water level until just in front of
the pump location and the vertical riser used to reach the pump inlet. Note: Wear
protective gloves when using PVC glue and solvents and always allow 24 hours to dry
before starting the pool pump.
6. The suction and return pipe work should be self-supported so that no strain from the
pipework loads up the pump barrel unions. The pump should not be suspended by the
pipe work or other equipment as this will cause leaks and eventual damage to the pump.
Only use the barrel unions supplied with the pump, barrel unions only require to be hand
tight, do not use tools to tighten the barrel union nuts.
7. If the pump is installed below the water level - isolation valves must be fitted to the
suction and return lines.
8. Pump installations that are 500mm or more above the water level will require a foot valve
at the pool or a check valve in the suction line.
9. Water temperature must not exceed 45°.

Electrical Connection
1. IMPORTANT! - The electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician and
must conform to all national, state and local codes. Australian Wiring Rules AS3000
2. The PULSE pump must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated
residual operating current of 30mA.
3. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by Edgetec Systems or its service agent or
a suitably qualified person.
Operation-Priming
The Pulse series pool pump has been designed to prime and re prime as long as the hair and lint pot
bowl is full of water and there is adequate supply from the suction points.
Priming/Start up
1. If the pump is installed above the water level and the hair and lint pot has no water in the
bowl, close off the valve in the suction line (if fitted), remove the hair and lint pot lid, and fill
the bowl with water and replace the hair and lint pod lid ensuring that its fitted correctly.
2. If the pump is installed below the water level, open the valves and you should see the water
flow freely into the hair lint pot bowl.
3. Switch the pool pump on.
4. The pump should now be primed and running; however, on some installations the priming
time may alter depending on the elevation and the length of pipe on the suction line.
5. If after around 90 seconds the pump has not primed switch the pump off and repeat step 1.
If after a number of attempts you still cannot prime the pump check your connections for
any leaks, it may be necessary to fit a foot or check valve to obtain prime.

WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVIODED, CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
Do not block the pump suction, as this can cause severe injury and/or death. Do not use this
pump for wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is
connected to at least two (2) functioning suction outlets. Drain covers must be certified to the
latest published version of AS 1926.3
Hair and lint Pot Basket - Maintenance
Your Pulse series pool pump has been designed to run for extended periods of time, however, the
hair and lint pot basket should be inspected and cleaned on a weekly basis or more regularly if
required, to do this follow the steps below;
1. Turn the power off to the pump and close the isolation valves.
2. Undo the hair and lint pot lid by turning the hair and lint pot locking ring in an anticlockwise
direction (approximately 1/8 of a turn) and remove the hair and lint pot basket.
3. Clean the debris from the basket and clean with water if required.
4. Replace the hair and lint pot basket into the pump aligning the open section of the basket
with the inlet of the pump. If the basket is not fitted correctly the lid will not be able to be
refitted.
5. Replace the hair and lint pot locking ring and tighten in a clockwise direction approximately
1/8 of a turn. Hand tighten the lid only, do not use any tools to tighten the lid.
6. Fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water (if required) and open the isolation valves and
switch the pump on.

General Maintenance
1. On a monthly basis check the area around the pump motor to ensure that it is clear of
debris, i.e. leaves, sand and dirt etc. Failure to keep this area clean may cause the pump fan
cowl to become blocked and cause the pump to overheat.
2. Check the hair and lint pot basket regularly, blocked lint basket or suction line will limit the
water to the pool pump and will cause serious damage and void your warranty.
3. On a monthly basis check the O rings on your hair and lint pot lid and pump barrel union O
rings for leaks. Should any leak be detected, clean and regrease the O Rings or replace if
required. Do not use petroleum based grease or Vaseline.
4. Check under your pump every 3 months to ensure that it is not leaking; if a leak is found call
a pool service technician for repair.
5. Maintain your water and chemical balance.
6. Do not add salt, chlorine, acid or any chemicals directly into your skimmer box, this may
cause damage to your pump and possibly void your warranty.
7. If there is large amounts of sand or grit in your pool always use a filter sock in your hair and
lint pot basket, otherwise the sand and grit passing through your pump could cause serious
damage.
8. In cold climates where the pool pump maybe subject or exposed to frost or freezing, we
recommend that the pump not be used during this time and that the water be drained
completely. There is a drain point located on the hair and lint pot and a ¼ BSP drain plug can
be sourced from Edgetec Systems.
9. Should your pool pump require servicing and you cannot locate a service person, please
contact Edgetec Systems for their nominated service outlet.
10. Use only genuine Edgetec parts when replacing or maintaining your pool pump.
