WARNING – Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation
of pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before
servicing pool and spa circulation system, filters manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa
circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa
circulation system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly
located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
WARNING – Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground all
electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
WARNING – Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, TURN OFF POWER to all electrical equipment before working on
electrical connections.
WARNING – Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result
in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how
to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for bonding
requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.

WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine
basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be restored. If
the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the
test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical
equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
CAUTION – This pump is intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and spas if so
marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such
that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily
disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

Installation Instructions
Pump Location
The PowerFlo LX™ and EP series pumps MUST be installed
below the pool water line (see Figure to right).
Self-priming PowerFlo II™ pumps may be installed up to four
(4) feet above the pool water line.
Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and
national codes. The field supplied base or pad must be level
and vibration-free.
Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
Do NOT install pump in a damp or non-ventilated location.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly
advised to protect the electrical components from the
weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood
when it rains.
Pump Mounting
Fasten pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The
base MUST be solid - level - rigid - vibration free.
Pump mount must:
Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Allow for ball valves in suction and outlet piping.
Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Plumbing
Use TFE tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or
thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE: Do NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic
components.
When applying TFE tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the male fitting with one to two layers
of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting.
The pump suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting
past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then
use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using TFE tape as friction is reduced
considerably; do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old
Teflon tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of TFE tape, and re-install connector.
Piping - Flexible Hose, PVC, or Reinforced Hose are all acceptable piping methods
For pump outlet use 1-1/2" PVC pipe or reinforced hose. For pump suction on ALL models, use 1-1/2" reinforced
hose. Increase size if a long run is needed. For pipe larger than port, use reducing fitting in strainer port.
To avoid pump strain, support suction and outlet independently. Place supports near pump. To avoid strain left by a
gap at last connection, start all piping at pump and run pipe AWAY from pump.
NEVER use suction pipe SMALLER than pump suction connections. Suction pipe inlet must be lower than pump
inlet port.
