Features & Benefits

enviroMAX

1100

The Sta-rite enviroMAX is the ideal pump for new or existing pools. Utilising advanced hydraulic design and
the latest technology in permanent magnet, variable speed motors, the Sta-rite enviroMAX has the perfect
combination of efficiency and performance. The Sta-rite enviroMAX delivers energy savings and the power
when you need it. You will also have the peace of mind that you are doing your bit for the environment and
reducing your carbon foot print.

Variable speed pump, with 4 programmable speeds, allows you to effortlessly select the most
efficient setting to meet you filtration, cleaning and water feature needs.

Radial flux, brushless permanent magnet motor delivers high efficiency and low noise levels.

Fault protected motor prevents damage by automatically shutting down the motor in the event of a
locked rotor, under voltage, over voltage or over current condition and will automatically reduce the
speed during an over temperature condition.

Precision-fit internal components and superior hydraulic design deliver effortless performance,
energy savings and extended pump life.

A specially designed sound-dampening pump casing and base make pump operation incredibly
quiet.

Constructed of our durable, thermoplastic, composite resin, so you can be sure it will stand up to
the harshest conditions.

A heavy-duty construction and a motor rated for continuous operation make the enviroMAX a tough,
long-lasting performer.

The high-capacity trap holds a large amount of debris, so you clean less often.

The Cam and Ramp™ lid is easy to remove and locks in place with a quarter turn, making inspection
and cleaning a breeze.

Quick-disconnect plumbing unions.

Installation

The pump must be installed and serviced by a suitably qualified person in order to avoid
hazard. Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property
damage.

These instructions are a guide only. Should you the installer or owner of the product be
unfamiliar with the correct installation or operation of this product you should contact a
suitably qualified person for advice.

Do not connect system to high pressure or mains water system.

This pump is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the pump.

The enviroMAX is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from electrical supply
during installation and any subsequent service work.

1. Plan the position of the pump

a) Have enough ventilation to keep ambient temperature below the motor's rated ambient temperature whenever the pump

is running. If installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation (200sq.cm min, inlet &

outlet) and air circulation Allow 200mm to keep rear of motor clear.
b) Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding and be protected from excess moisture.
c) Be solid, level, rigid and vibration free.
d) To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount. Fixing holes accept 12mm fasteners.
e) Be within 2m of a power outlet for electrical connection (refer to AS/NZS 3000 for rules regarding connection of

electrical equipment in pool zones).
f) Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
g) Allow for 250mm of straight pipe on the suction and discharge.

2. Piping

For best performance, allow pump
suction inlet height to be as far
below water level as possible and
allow the use of short, direct suction
pipe with minimum bends (to reduce
friction losses).

a) Use only Australian Standard PVC pressure pipe. For best performance use at least 50mm diameter pipe for all

connections to the pump. Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connections (50mm) and use larger pipe

for long suction distances.
b) To avoid stress on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes independently. Place these supports as close to

the pump as possible.
c) To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the pump and run pipe away from the pump.
