Before Installation be sure to read all the
instructions and warnings carefully. Refer to the
product data plates for additional operating instruction
and specifi cations.
INSPECTION
Examine the equipment when received. Notify your
dealer or carrier of any damage or missing parts. Verify
that the equipment is of size and model specifi ed.
READ AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see
this symbol on your pump or in this manual, look
for one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury:
DANGER
serious personal injury, death or major property damage
if ignored.
WARNING
serious personal injury, death or major property damage
if ignored.
CAUTION
cause minor personal injury or major property damage if
ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions, which
are important but not related to hazards.

INSTALLATION LOCATION
All S & J Series pumps are designed for fl ooded suction
(all suction fi ttings and suction piping are below water
level) and will not self-prime.
GENERAL PLUMBING
FOR SOLVENT WELD CONNECTIONS
Rigid or fl exible PVC pipe can be used. Pipe ends
should be clean and free of any fl ash caused by the
cutting operation. Be sure that the proper adhesive is
used on the type of pipe specifi ed.
Recommended Adhesives- These are examples only
and are not intended to restrict brands.
PVC-PVC JOINTPVC-ABS JOINT
Uni-weld Pool-Tite 2000Uni-weld Pool-Tite 2000
Suregard Flex 20Suregard Weld-all No. 5
IPS Weld-on 705IPS Weld-on 794
NOTE: A Primer will assure that adhesives joints are
superior. Sureguard P-3000 has a purple tracer to qualify
in areas where codes specify a primer must be used.
CAUTION- We recommend that you consider
climatic conditions when applying adhesives. Certain
atmospheric situations, such as high moisture content,
make the adhesive action of certain glues less effective.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions.
FOR THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use only Tefl on tape or equivalent on threaded
plumbing connections. Other pipe compounds
may damage threads. We do not recommend the
use of silicone or petroleum based compounds.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! HAND TIGHTEN PLUS 1/2
TURN IS SUFFICIENT.
PUMP PLUMBING
All S & J Series pumps are union connected allowing
quick and easy service without disturbing the plumbing.
Two different plumbing confi gurations are available
offering 1-1/2” suction connection and either 1-1/2”
discharge or 1” tee discharge. These union packages
must be ordered separately. Avoid using a suction pipe
smaller than pump connection.
To maximize the 100% drain feature, keep the piping as
straight and short as possible, and slope horizontal runs
so water drains away from pump. The suction line must
be installed at an elevation below the water level when
the tub is fi lled to guarantee fl ooded suction.
ELECTRICAL DATA
Refer to information on motor nameplate for electrical
service data. All motors should have fused disconnect
switch or circuit breaker. Be sure wire size is suffi cient
for HP and distance from power source. Wiring should
be done in accordance with applicable codes by
competent electrician. We recommend the installation of
a ground fault circuit interrupter for maximum safety.
PUMP START UP
Fill tub to desired level making sure that suction fi ttings
and jets are below water level. Start pump and open all
suction and discharge line valves.
After about 10 minutes of operation, check the return
fi ttings for air bubbles. A continuous fl ow of air indicates
leaks in the suction line. Locate and correct any
leaks immediately.
CAUTION- Do not operate pump with closed suction
or discharge valves.
TWO-SPEED PUMPS
Two-speed models are recommended in a swimming
pool when high speed is needed for maximum fi ltration
at peak periods and whenever turbidity levels are high.
At other times, switch to low speed. For backwashing
and vacuuming, high speed is required.
In spa and hot tubs, use high speed to atain full
performance in the hydro-therapy mode. At other times,
such as fi lter/heat cycle mode, use low speed. Low
speed provides suffi cient fl ow to activate most spa
heaters and provides suffi cient fl ow for fi ltration.
In jetted tubs, use high speed to attain full performance
in the hydro-therapy mode and use low speed for
desired low fl ow conditions.
NOTE: Two-speed pumps must be in high speed
mode to prime.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
1. Motors are self-lubricating-- no lubrication is required.
2. Clean Hair & Lint Strainer if you have a pump with
strainer body.
3. Visually inspect motor for blockage of air vents
on motor shell. Remove any debris after shutting
off breaker.
4. Shaft seals may become worn and must be replaced
if leakage is observed.
SERVICE AND REPAIR PARTS
Refer all service to your local dealer as his knowledge
of your equipment makes him the best qualifi ed source
of information. Order all repair parts through your
dealer. Give the following information when ordering
repair parts.
1. Unit nameplate data
2. Description of part
