2. Important Safety Instructions
Always read and follow all safety instructions before installing, operating, or performing maintenance on the pump. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or property damage.
- Disconnect all power to the pump before performing any service or maintenance.
- Ensure the pump is installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical and plumbing codes.

3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the pump and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
3.2 Placement
Place the pump on a firm, level surface that can support its weight (approximately 13 kg). Ensure the location is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions. The pump should be as close to the pool as possible to minimize friction loss in the plumbing.
3.3 Electrical Connection
The Saci Winner pump operates on 230V (AC) electrical power. All electrical connections must be performed by a licensed electrician and comply with local electrical codes. Ensure the power supply is properly grounded and protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

3.4 Plumbing Connection
Connect the pump to your pool's filtration system using appropriate PVC fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight to prevent leaks and maintain pump efficiency. The pump is designed for a maximum flow rate of 15 cubic meters per hour.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Priming the Pump
Before starting the pump for the first time or after draining the system, the pump must be primed. Open the transparent lid of the pre-filter basket and fill the basket and suction line with water until the water level is above the pump's inlet. Replace the lid securely, ensuring the O-ring is properly seated.
4.2 Starting the Pump
Once primed, turn on the electrical power to the pump. The pump should start drawing water and begin the filtration process. Monitor the pressure gauge on your filter to ensure proper operation.
4.3 Daily Operation
Operate the pump for a sufficient duration each day to ensure proper water circulation and filtration. The exact duration depends on pool size, bather load, and environmental conditions. Consult your pool professional for recommended daily run times.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Pre-filter Basket
Regularly inspect and clean the pre-filter basket to maintain optimal pump performance. A clogged basket reduces flow and can strain the pump motor.
- Turn off the pump and disconnect power.
- Use the provided key to unscrew and remove the transparent lid.
- Lift out the pre-filter basket.
- Empty any debris and rinse the basket thoroughly with water.
- Inspect the O-ring on the lid for cracks or wear; replace if necessary.
- Reinsert the basket, replace the lid, and tighten securely with the key.
- Reconnect power and prime the pump if necessary before restarting.
