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.
