Certikin Aquaspeed Pumps - New Generation

Installation

1. The pump suction line should not be smaller than the unions supplied with the pump
2. The suction line is to have as few bends or elbows as possible. There must not be an air trap on the suction line
3. Use only the pump barrel unions supplied with the pump
4 Bolt the pump to the required position to prevent movement
5. The pump electrical cable must be wired for the proper voltage and rotation in accordance with the wiring instructions
6. All wiring (electrical) work must be carried out by a licensed electrician and must be installed in accordance to the local codes
7. The motor must be grounded
8. The weight of the plumbing and fittings is to be independently supported and not carried by the pump
9. The pump motor cooling fan must have a minimum clearance of 150mm

Priming

The Aquaspeed pump will prime and re-prime providing the hair and lint pot bowl is full of water and there is sufficient supply from the suction point.
If you lose water from the hair and lint pot bowl it will be necessary to refill it before starting.
1. Remove the clear lid and fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water
2. Replace the lid ensuring the o-ring is correctly located and start the pump
After you have done this allow a maximum of 2 minutes for the pump to start delivering water.

Maintenance

Never work on a pump without turning the power off
The strainer basket in the hair and lint pot bowl should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.
1. Remove lid and lift out basket
2. Remove debris and hose off with clean water if necessary
3. Inspect the lid gasket, if needed lubricate with silicone based grease only or if damaged replace
4. Replace the strainer
5. Re-prime the hair and lint pot bowl
6. Correctly locate the o-ring
7. Replace the lid, tighten by hand only
8. Switch on pump
In climates where the pump may be exposed to frost or freezing, care must be taken to ensure the pump is protected from damage.
It is recommended that if the pump is not used during this winter period it should be drained completely. A drain plug is provided for this purpose.
Do not replace the drain plug. Store it in a safe place until you require the use of the pump. (An example would be within the hair and lint pot bowl basket.)
If at all possible remove the pump away and store it in a dry location during this period.
When you reactivate the pump ensure all seals and o-rings are in operational condition, re-grease if necessary and replace if unsure of condition.
• Check that the motor shaft moves freely before reactivation
