Section 2. General Description

2.1 Introduction

This manual contains information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the Zodiac FloPro series pumps. Procedures in this manual m ust be followed exactly. To obtain addi tion al cop ies of this man ual , contact Zodiac Custo mer Serv ice at 08 60 88 7 665 .

2.2 Description

Zodiac FloPro Pumps are designed to meet the needs of today’s more hydraulically demanding pool equipment. The `pump housing, backplate, diffuser, impeller, and hairand-lint pot (pump debris ﬁlter basket) are all made from high quality thermoplastic materials. These materials were chosen for their strength and corrosion resistance.

The pump is driven by an elec trical motor directly attach ed to th e pump impeller. As the electr ic motor turns, it causes the impeller to turn, which forces wa ter to ﬂow through the pump. The water ﬂows through the pump inlet port and then into the pump ﬁlter basket. The basket assembly pre-strains/traps large particles . The water then enters the center of the pump housing, ﬂows through the impell er into the diffuser, and then ﬂows out the pump discharge port.

Section 3. Installation

3.1 Plumbing

3.1.1 Preparation

Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for damage. Open the carton and check the pump for concealed damage, such as cracks, dents, or a bent base. If you ﬁnd damage, contact the ship per or the distributor where the pum p was purchased.

3.1.2 Pump Location

1. Zodiac Pool Care SA (Pty) Ltd recommends installin g the pump within 300mm above water level. The pump should not be elevated more than a metre above the water level of the pool. A non-return valve is recommended on the suc tion line to the pump.

NOTE: Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump is installed as close as possible to the water level of the pool.

2. Zodiac Pool Care SA (Pty) Ltd recommends that the pump and other circulation equipment be located more than 1 .5 metres from the water. Choose a l ocation that will minimize turns in the piping.

3. The pump must be pla ced on a solid foundation that will not vibrate. To further reduce the possibilit y of vibration noise, bolt the pump to the foundation, or place it on a rubber mat.

NOTE: Zodiac Pool Care SA (Pty) Ltd. recommends bolting the pump directly to the foundation.

4. The pump foundation mu st have adequate drai nage to prevent the motor from g etting wet. Protect the pump from the sun and rain .

5. Proper ventilation is important to get rid of the heat that is generated by the motor, this is crucial for normal pump operation.

6. Provide access for future service by leaving a clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of space above the pump to remove the lid and basket for cleaning.

7. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate lighting.

3.1.3. Pipe Sizing

3.1.3.1. Suction and Discharge Pipes

When the pump is located up to 15 metres from the pool, the recommended minimum pipe size for the suction and discharge side of the pump is 50mm for pu mps up to 1.1kW.

Note: Smaller pipe sizes may be able to withstand the pressures the pump will deliver, but not necessarily the ﬂow. If the pipe is too small for the pump or if the pump is elevated above the water level, the maximum litres per minute (LPM) may not be delivered. If this happens, the life of the pump may be shortened, optimum ﬁltration will not be achieved and/or same ﬂow dependent devices may not function as they should.

3.1.3.2. Installation Recommendations

1. If the pump is located below water level, isolation valves

must

be insta lled on both sid es of the pump to prevent the back ﬂow of pool water during any routine or required servicing.

2. FloPro pumps come equipped with unions on b oth the suc tion and discharge ports. This feature simpliﬁes installation and service.

3. The piping must be well supported a nd not forced together in places where constant stress will be experienced.

4. Always use properly sized valves.

5. Use the fewest ﬁttings possible. Every additional ﬁtting has the effect of movin g the equipment further away from the poo l.

6. We recommend that armoured Norse cable is used to connect the motor to the DB Box.

NB. Cable supplied on the unit purchased is only for testing purposes.

NOTE: If more than 10 suction ﬁttings are needed, the pipe size must be increased.

7. Zodiac Pool Care SA (Pty) Ltd recommends that 50mm (outer diameter) pipe is used for suction and discharge.

Section 5. Service and Maintenance

5.1 Routine Maintenance

To avoid the risk of property damage, severe personal injury, and/or death, turn off the pump and switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor before servicing the pump.

Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through the clear pump lid. Remove any

debris, be cause as debris accumulates, it will begin to block the ﬂow of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean to improve the per formance of the pump.

1. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is located below the water level, close the isolation valves on the suction and discharge sides of the pump to prevent backﬂow of water.

2. Turn the lid’s locking ring counter-clockwise until ‘START’ aligns with the ports. Carefully remove the lid.

3. Lift the basket out of the pump. Dispose of all debris and thoroughly clean the basket, making sure all the holes are open. Using a garden hose, spray the basket from the outside to help cle ar the holes. Remove any remaining deb ris by hand.

4. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the open sec tion of the basket with the inlet pipe. If aligned properly, the basket will drop easily into place. Do not force it into place.

5. Remove the lid o-ring and remove debris around the lid o-ring seat, as this will cause air leaks into the system. Clean the lid o-ring and repla ce it.

6. Replace the lid with locking ring on the pump housing. Align ‘START’ with the ports and turn the lid’s locking ring clockwise until ‘LOCKED’ aligns with the ports.

Hand-tighten

the lid to make an air tight seal .

Do not use any tools to tighten the lid.

CAUTION: A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could result in pump damage.

7. Verify that all valves have been returned to the proper position for normal operation.

8. Check for any leakages

Section 6. Troubleshooting and Repair

Zodiac Pool Care SA (Pty) Ltd strongly recommends that you call a qualiﬁed service technician to perform any repairs on the ﬁlter/pump system. To locate a qualiﬁed technician, contact our Customer Care depar tment on 086 0 887 665 or visit www.zodiac.co.za.

Section 4. Operation

4.1 Start-up

CAUTION: Never run the pump without water. Running the pump “dry” for any length of time will cause severe da mage to both the pump and motor and will void the warranty.

If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping is clear of construction debris. Check the ﬁlter for proper installation, verifying that all connections and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal injury, or death, verify that all power is turned off b efore starting this procedure.

1. Take one of the following actions to prime the pump:

• If the pump is located below the water level of the pool ensure that the multiport valve is set to ﬁlter. Ensure all isolation valves before and after the pump is opened . Open the pump lid to prime the pump with water.

• If the pump is located above the water level, rem ove the pump lid and ﬁll the basket with water before starting the pump.

2. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around the lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid o-ring seat will cause air to leak into the system, and make it difﬁcult to prime the pump.

Hand-tighten

the lid to make an air tight se al.

Do not use any tools to tighten the lid:

hand-tighten only.

Ensure that the lid is secure. Make sure all valves are open and the

unions are tight.

4. Restore power to the pump and then turn it on.

5. Once all the air has left the ﬁlter, close the ﬁlter pres sure release valve (If ap plicable).

6. The pump should prime the pipe system. The time it takes to prime will depend on the elevation and length of pipe used on the suction supply pipe. See

Section 3. 3.2,

Installation Recommendations

for proper elevation a nd pipe size.

7. If the pump does n ot prime and all the instructio ns to this point have been followed, check for a suction leak. If there is no l eak from the weir to the pump, repeat Steps 2 through 7.

8. For technical assistance, call Zodiac Technical Su pport at 08 60 887 665 .

Trapped air in the system can cause the ﬁlter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly let out of the system before operating. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TE ST OR CHECK FOR LEAKS .

Do not pressure test above 240kPa. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. Circulation equipment that is not tested properly may fail. This could result in severe personal injury or propert y damage.

When pressure testing the system with water, it is very important to make sure that the pump basket lid is completely secure.

ZODIAC FloPro ssPump installation & Operation Manual

The pump is

leaking water between the motor and pump body.

This is caused by a damaged or failed mechanical seal. Replace

the seal. See

Section 6.2, Ser vice Technician Maintenance, 6.2. 4,

Mechanical Seal Replacement.

The pump gets

hot and shuts off periodically.

Ensure that th ere is ad equate ventilation and room around the motor to circulate air and keep the motor cool. Have a qualiﬁed electrician check for loose connections and check the voltage at

the pump motor while it is in operation. The voltage must be within 10% of the motor’s data plate rating. If the voltage is not within 10%, contact a qualiﬁed electrician and/or the local power service provider.

6.2 Service Technician Maintenance

This pump must be serviced by a professional service technician, qualiﬁed in pool/spa installation. The following procedures must be followed exactly. Improper installation and/or operation can create dangerous electrical hazards, which can cause high voltages to run through the electrical system. This can cause property damage, serious injury, and/or death. Improper installation and/or operation will void the warranty.

6.2.1 Blocked Impeller

Before servicing the pump, turn off the pump and switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor. Severe personal injury, death, or property damage may occur if the pump starts while your hand is inside the pump.

1. Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor.

2. Remove the lid and basket.

3. Look inside the pump for any debris. Remove any de bris found inside.

4. Replace the basket and lid.

5. Switch on the circuit brea ker to the pump motor.

6. Turn on the pump, an d see if the problem is solved.

7. If the impeller is still blocked with de bris and it is not possible to remove the deb ris using Steps 2 through 4 , the pump will need to be disassembled in order to access the inlet and outlet of the impeller.

6.2.2 Impeller Removal

1. Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor. If you are not replacing the motor, do not disconnect the electrical wiring.

NOTE: If you are replacing the motor, Zodiac strongly recommends that a qualiﬁed service technician or electrician properly disconnect the electrical wiring at the pump motor.

6.1 Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE PROBLEM/SOLUTION

The cleaning/ circulating system is not operating correctly.

Verify that skimmer baskets, pump basket and other scre ens are clean. Clean as necessary. Check ﬁlter and clean as necessary. Check valve positions. Adjust as necessary. NOTE: Multiple pieces of equipment operating at one time (for example, waterfalls, spa jets, and surface returns) may affect the cleaning system and prevent it from working p roperly. Check the cleaning system manual to ensure that the system is adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Bub bles/ai r present in the pump basket. (Suction Leak)

Air in system . Check the po ol or spa water level to ensure that it is at the proper level a nd that air is not b eing drawn into the su ction piping. If the water is at the normal level, turn of f the pump. Turn the lid’s locking ring counter-clockwise until ‘START’ aligns with the ports . Carefully remove the lid and check for debris around the lid o -ring seat, as debris will cause air to leak into the system. Clean the lid o-ring and place on the lid. Replace the lid with locking ring o n the pump housing. Align ‘START’ with the ports and turn the lid’s locking ring clockwise until ‘LOCKED’ aligns with the ports.

Hand-tighten

the lid to make an air tight seal.

Do not use any

tools to tighten the lid.

Turn the pump back on.

Air leaks are still present.

Check the suc tion side piping union. While the pump is running, try to tighten the union. If this does not stop the air leak , turn off the pump. Loosen both unions and slide the pump out of the way. Remove, clean and re-install both union o-rings. Reposition the pump next to the piping and secure the union nuts to the pump. With clean union o-rings, hand-tightening of the u nions should create a seal. If the unions still do not seal, gently tighten with a large pair of tongu e-and-groove pliers.

Do not over-tighten.

There is no air in the system, but the pressure is still low.

It is possible that debris is caught in the pump imp eller. The pump impeller moves the water, and the va nes in the impeller can become blocked with debris. See

Section 6.2, Ser vice Technician

Maintenance, 6.2.1, Blocked Impeller,

for more information.

There is no debris blocking the impeller and the pressure is still low.

The pump impeller and diffuser are showing signs of normal wear. Have a qualiﬁed service technician check the impeller and diffuser and replace as necessary. The pump seal might be leaking air. Have a qualiﬁed service technician replace the seal. If the pu mp is part of a relatively new installation, it could b e an electrical problem. Contact a qualiﬁed service technician. Have the technician check for loose electrical connections and check the voltage at the pump motor while it is in operation . The voltage must be within 10% of the motor’s data plate rating. If the voltage is not within 10%, contact a qualiﬁed electrician and/or the local power service provider.
