Larger diameter pipes reduce noise and

1. Keep the piping as straight and short

as possible, and of suitable size.

2. Avoid connecting an elbow directly

into the pump inlet. A length of

straight pipe will allow proper entry

of the water to the pump.

3. Slope horizontal runs upward to the

pump to prevent trapping air.

4. Use independent piping supports to

reduce strain on the pump.

5. Keep as much of the suction line as

possible below the water level to

reduce priming time.

fatal electrical shock hazard.

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

The pump suction must be designed to

eliminate the possibility of suction entrap-

ment or hair entrapment/entanglement.

SUCTION COVERS

All suction inlet covers must be maintained

and replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.

See Figure 2 for outlet cover certiﬁ cation

requirements.

TESTING AND CERTIFICATION

All suction inlet covers must comply with

ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 speciﬁ cations for

suction ﬁ ttings for use in swimming pools,

spas and whirlpool bathtub applications. The

product must be tested for compliance with

the standards and the certiﬁ cation must be

included with the components.

Single or Multiple Pump Circulation Sys-

tems must be provided with a minimum of

2 (two) suction inlets of the approved type.

Do not install multiple pumps in one

hydraulic circuit. The pump is not designed

to accept output ﬂ ow from another pump.

Do not allow water to back ﬂ ow through

the pump. Water ﬂ owing in the discharge

be closed if the cover or grate is

OUTLETS PER PUMP

Provide at least two hydraulically balanced

main drains, with covers for each swimming

pool pump suction line. The centers of the

main drains suction ﬁ tting must be at least

three feet apart (see Figure 2). The system

hazardous and can trap,

nected to the pump whenever it is running.

If two main drains run into a single suction

line, the single suction line can be equipped

with a single valve that shuts off both main

drains from the pump. A valve in each

suction line is not allowed.
