Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect the pump for any signs of shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately. Ensure all components listed in the 'Included Components' section are present.
Installation Requirements
- Location: Install the pump in a well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions.
- Mounting: Secure the pump to a solid, level surface to prevent vibration and movement.
- Electrical Supply: The pump requires a 400 Volts AC power supply. Ensure the electrical circuit is properly grounded and protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
- Pipe Connections: The pump includes connections for Ø50mm (for 0.33-1.00 CV models) or 63mm (for 1.50-3.00 CV models) piping. Ensure all pipe connections are watertight using appropriate sealants and fittings.
Connecting the Pump
- Connect the suction line from the pool skimmer/main drain to the pump's inlet.
- Connect the discharge line from the pump's outlet to the pool filter system.
- Ensure all unions are tightened securely to prevent air leaks, which can affect pump performance.
- Connect the electrical wiring according to the wiring diagram provided with the pump and local electrical codes.
Operating Instructions
Initial Start-up (Priming the Pump)
- Ensure the pool water level is adequate and all valves are open to allow water flow to the pump.
- Remove the transparent lid of the pump's pre-filter basket.
- Fill the pre-filter basket completely with water.
- Replace the lid, ensuring it is securely tightened to create an airtight seal.
- Turn on the power to the pump. The pump should begin to draw water and prime itself. If the pump does not prime within a few minutes, turn it off, re-check for air leaks, and repeat the priming process.
Daily Operation
Once primed, the pump will operate automatically if connected to a timer. Otherwise, manually turn the pump on and off as needed for filtration cycles. The pump is designed for continuous operation during filtration periods.
Water Compatibility
This Kripsol Koral pump is designed to be compatible with both fresh water and seawater, making it versatile for various pool types.
Maintenance
Routine Cleaning
- Pre-filter Basket: Regularly inspect and clean the pre-filter basket. Turn off the pump, close necessary valves, remove the transparent lid, empty debris from the basket, and rinse it thoroughly. Replace the basket and lid, then re-prime the pump.
- Pump Exterior: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of debris to ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating.
Winterization
In regions with freezing temperatures, it is essential to winterize the pump to prevent damage. Drain all water from the pump by opening the drain plugs. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location, or cover it adequately if it must remain outdoors.
