Your Davey Spa Pool Pump
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from the Davey range
of Pool and Spa Equipment. You are assured of many years of reliable and
efficient performance from your Davey Spa Pool Pump backed by Daveys
twelve months guarantee.
The Davey Spa Pool Pump range has been specially designed to offer
optimum performance and ample bubbling pressure in spa pools. It should
not be used for any other purpose without first consulting your Davey Dealer
or Davey Customer Service Centre.
The XS models incorporate a thermostatically controlled heater element. The
heater element maintains the pool water temperature for a long hot soak.
The stainless steel heater element is designed for use in spa pools.
At Davey we design and build our own electric motors especially for our
pumps. The matched motor and pumping end are designed to provide quiet
operation while delivering optimum water flow.
Daveys totally enclosed fan-cooled motor incorporates autostart overload
protection with a built-in automatic thermostat designed to protect the motor
from overheating.
Davey Spa Pool Pumps are constructed of durable thermoplastic, eliminating
corrosion problems and consequent spa pool staining. Specially designed to
be self-draining (when installed as per instructions), the pump drains after
use, preventing the build-up of stale water.
Installation and Operating Instructions
Location
The pump should be located as close to the spa pool as practicable (either
internally or externally). It is the installers/owners responsibility to locate the
pump such that the nameplate can be easily read and it can be readily
accessed for service.
It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Enclosures
should be ventilated to prevent condensation buildup and allow a free flow of
air for the fan cooled motor.
Failure to adequately install the Spa Pool Pump as outlined above may result
in pump damage and/or removal costs not covered by the guarantee.

Electrical Connection
In the interests of safety, we advise that all Spa Pumps must be installed in
accordance with relevant standards, particularly AS 3000 wiring rules or
equivalent.
This product is supplied with a fixing point to enable easy equipotential
bonding.
This product is suitable for connection to a nominal 240V 50HZ power supply
and is equipped with a lead and three pin plug.
This product must be installed so the motor can be turned off independently
of the air button (a standard ON/OFF power point provides this).
Air Switch Models - Tube Connection
These pumps are supplied with an air switch tube connected to the front end
of the control box.
1. Before installing, ensure that :
- the tube is properly connected to the pump,
- the tube can be connected to the air button (not supplied) at the pool.
2. When installing route the tube via the shortest possible path to the air
button. Ensure that there are no kinks.
Water Quality
If the spa water is kept in the spa for more than two days, it will need to be
chemically sanitised or discarded.
Davey recommends that the water is tested by a professional Pool & Spa
shop so that the water stays healthy to protect you and the pump.

NOTE:
To avoid possible water damage to property from ruptured pipes,
leaking connections, worn/leaking pump seals, etc., pumps must be
installed on a well drained site or in a properly constructed drain
tray.

Plumbing Installation
This product is supplied with barrel unions which accept 40mm PVC pipe.
In all cases, the pump must be installed so that the suction line of the
pump slopes from the pump to the suction cap with a recommended
minimum gradient of 1:60 or 1 degree. This enables water to drain out
of the pump when it is switched off.
The pump must be installed at a height ensuring the pump discharge
outlet is always below the water level in the pool. This prevents the
pump from getting an air lock (which causes the pump to not fully
prime).
Initial Start Up
Before operating the pump, be sure that no debris or materials are left in the
pipework which may enter the pump and cause an obstruction to flow or
damage to the pump.
1. Check all pipework is properly sealed and firmly fixed.
2. Fill the pool to the correct level and check pipework for leaks. Activate
the pump, by pushing the air button. Check for leaks in the pipe work
again.
3. Switch off the pump by pushing the air button again.
Pump Operation
1. Fill the pool to the correct level.
2. Depress the air button to operate the pump and heater.
3. Water temperature will rise to approximately 40
o
C with the temperature
adjustment set to maximum, at which time the heater will cut out.
4. The heater will restart approximately 2
o
below the heater cut out
temperature.
5. Depress the air button again to switch it off.
6. We recommend the fitment of Earth Leakage Protection Devices and time
clocks to all spa pools.
5
CAUTION
To operate efficiently and prevent pump damage there must be a free flow of
water to and from the pump. Ensure that any valves are appropriately
positioned and there is nothing else preventing the flow of water through the
system.
If the pump stops due to power failure or overheating, turn the pump off
otherwise it will automatically restart when power supply resumes or the
motor cools down.
Avoid filling the pool with very hot water as this may cause nuisance
tripping of the element in heated models (refer TROUBLE SHOOTING
section part C). Nuisance tripping can be prevented by partially filling the
pool with cold water and then adding hot water for a comfortable
temperature.
Avoid foreign objects such as tissues or large amounts of hair entering the
pool water as they may be drawn into the pump causing it to jam.
Trouble Shooting
A) If the pump runs, but does not deliver water, the following may
be the cause:
1. The pump is mounted too high relative to the jets, causing it to air lock.
Usually this can be rectified by activating the air bleed (refer to section
ACTIVATING AIR BLEED)
If this fails, the pump will have to be lowered 10 - 15 mm at a time until
it primes (refer to section PLUMBING INSTALLATION).
2. Leak in the suction pipework allowing air to be drawn in.
3. Pipework is blocked.
B) If the motor does not run, the following may be the cause:
1. Power is not connected or a fuse has blown.
2. Overload has been tripped.
The motor is fitted with an automatic re-set overload which is designed
to protect the motor from damage under overload conditions. Allow the
motor to cool and the overload will re-set automatically to start the
pump again. Determine the cause of overload if possible and rectify.
Constant stopping indicates a problem to be rectified before permanent
damage occurs.
3. Air operating switch is in OFF condition.
4. The air button on the pool is defective.
6
(C) On heated models, if the pump runs but does not maintain water
temperature, the following may be the cause:
Heated pump models feature a back-up protection device which cuts out
the heater if the water temperature exceeds 50C. The heater may be
cut-out by a thermostat malfunction. However, it is far more likely to be
nuisance tripped by filling the pool with very hot water. To re-set the
heater, press the button on the top of the pump control box. If the heater
continues to cut-out service attention will be required.
In the event of installation or operation difficulties with your Davey Spa Pool
Pump, contact the supplier from whom the pump was purchased or your
nearest Authorised Davey Pool Equipment Service Centre. For assistance
in locating your nearest dealer contact the Davey Customer Service Centre.
Activating Air Bleed
NOTE:
1. To overcome priming difficulties it may be necessary to activate the air
bleed. To do this, cut off the tab from the top of the barb on the air bleed
body.
2. When air bleed is activated, it is essential that a PVC drain tube (not
supplied) is fitted to the barb. Direct tubing up in a loop above the water
level of the pool and then back down again into a drain or outside of the
building.
NOTE:
Suction and discharge piping, from the pump to the pool, MUST be
installed such that all water drains back to the pool when emptied,
and must be in accordance with local Health Department Regula-
tions (refer to the following diagram for correct installation).
