Inspection

Examine the equipment when received. Notify your dealer or carrier of any damage or missing parts. Verify that equipment is of size and model specified.

Important Safety Instructions

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precations should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. WARNING – To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
3. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit­interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
4. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
5. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
should be on a hard, level surface. Give consideration to: the pump discharge. The valves are essential for pump
6. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electrical supply; provide a properly located outlet.
7. CAUTION – (For pumps with a 25 ft. (7.62m cord). This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
8. CAUTION – (For pumps with/without 3ft. (.91m cord). This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also 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 may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
9. WARNING – (For hot tub and spa pumps). Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of the hot tub or spa, unless so marked.
10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Installation Location Locate pump as close to pool/spa as possible, preferably in a dry, well ventilated area away from direct sunlight. It should be on a hard, level surface. Give consideration to:

d
e
1. Drainage – away from pump.
2. Ventilation of pump motor.
3. Access for future servicing and winterizing.
4. Protection from the elements. Pumps without strainer bodies are designed for
flooded suction (all suction fittings and suction piping below water level) and will not self-prime. Consequently, the pump must be installed at an elevation that is below water level when pool or spa is filled; however, if suction line valves are installed, the pump may be closed for priming. Keep vertical distance to a minimum if you choose to mount pump above water level.
Pumps with strainer bodies are self-priming but shoul
be mounted as close to the water level as possible or below for ease in priming.
General Plumbing
FOR SOLVENT WELD CONNECTION
Rigid or flexible PVC pipe can be used. Pipe ends
should be clean and free of any flash cause by the cutting operation. Be sure that the proper adhesive is used on the type of pipe specified.
Recommended Adhesives – These are examples only
and are not intended to restrict brands. PVC – PVC Joint Uni-Weld Pool-Tite 2000 Uni-Weld Pool-Tite 2000 Suregard Flex 20 Suregard Weld-All No. 5 IPS Weld-On 705 IPS Weld-On 794 Note: A primer will assure that adhesive joints are superior. Suregard 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 adhesive action of certain glues less effective. Check the manufacturer’s instructions. FOR THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use only Teflon 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 OVERTIGHTEN – HAND TIGHTEN PLUS ½ TURN IS SUFFICIENT.
Pump Plumbing
Suction pipe should be as large or larger that discharg
pipe. Avoid using suction pipe small that pump connection.
Keep the piping as straight and short as possible, and
of suitable size. Avoid connecting an elbow directly into the pump inlet (use a length of straight pipe to allow a proper entry for the water). Arrange horizontal runs to slope upward to the pump to prevent high spots that could form air pockets. Support the pipe independently so that it places no strain on the pump. Keep as much of the suction line as possible below the water level to reduce priming time. Install valves and unions in the pump suction and return lines to facilitate servicing. Valves are recommended for throttling

maintenance if the system is installed below deck level. Suction valves are essential for priming all pumps without strainer bodies installed above water level. Pumps with strainer bodies are self-priming, nevertheless, we recommend the use of check valve in the suction pipe at or below the water level if the suction lift is more that five feet or if the dry suction is more that ten feet long. Keep the valve in the suction line fully open during operation.

Electrical Data

Refer to information on motor nameplate fo electrical service data. All motors should have fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker. Be sure wire size is sufficient for pump HP and distance from power source. Wiring should be done in accordance with applicable codes by a competent electrician.
We recommend the installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter for maximum safety.
Pump Start Up
Do not operate pump until it has been primed as water acts to cool and lubricate the seal. For pumps without strainer bodies and locater above water, close suction line valve and fill pump with water in order to prime. For pumps with strainer bodies and located above water, prime by removing strainer cover and filling strainer body with water. Pumps located below water level will self­prime if all piping is also below water level. After pump has been primed, energize motor and open all suction and discharge line valves. It may take some time for pump to remove air from suction lines. If no flow is observed in five minutes, stop the motor and re-prime. If the pump fails to operate, check for air leaks. Refer to Trouble Shooting section.
After about ten minutes of operation, check the return fittings for air bubbles. A continuous flow of air indicates leaks in suction line. Locate and correct any leaks immediately. CONTROLLING THE OUTPUT
Keep the gate valve in the suction line fully open during operation. Should it be necessary to control the output, use a valve in the return line.
Caution: Do not retighten strainer Ring-Lok during operation.
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 filtration 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 spas and hot tubs, use high speed to attain full performance in the hydro-therapy mode. At other times, such as filter/heat cycle mode, use low speed. Low speed provides sufficient flow to activate most spa heaters and provides sufficient flow for filtration.
In jetted tubs, use high speed to attain full performance in the hydro-therapy mode and use low speed mode to prime.
