CAUTION
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 above 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 orig i nal integrity.
Do not install within an outdoor enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or portable spa. The pump
requires adequate ventilation to maintain air temperarture at less than the maximum ambient temperature
rating listed on the motor rating plate.

1.2 Pool Pump Suction Entrapment Prevention Guidelines
WARNING
SUCTION HAZARD. Can cause serious injury or death. Do not use this pump
for wading; shallow pools or spas containing bottom drains, unless pump is
connected to at least two functioning suction outlets.
WARNING
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate
swimming pools, spa, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. The following
guidelines provide information for pump installation that minimizes risk of injury to users of pools, spas,
and hot tubs:
Entrapment Protection - The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazards of suction
entrapment.
Suction Outlet Covers - All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place.
All suction outlet (drain) covers must be maintained. Drain covers must be listed/certified to ANSI/ASME
A112.19.8. They must be replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.
Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump - Provide at least two hydraulically balanced main drains, with covers,
as suction outlets for each circulating pump suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction outlets)
on any one suction line must be at least three feet apart, center to center. (see figure 1 on page 7)
The system must be built to include at least two suction outlets (drains) connected to the pump whenever
the pump is running. However, if two main drains run into a single suction line, the single suction line
may be equipped with a valve which will shut off both main drains from the pump. The system shall be
constructed such that it shall not allow for separate or independent shutoff or isolation of each drain. (see
figure 1 on page 7)
More than one pump can be connected to a single suction line as long as the requirements above are met.
Water Velocity - The maximum water velocity through the suction fitting or cover for any suction outlet
must be 1.5 feet per second unless the outlet complies with the latest version of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8,
the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming and Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool
Bathtub Applications. In any case, do not exceed the suction fitting’s maximum designed flow rate.
If 100% of the pump’s flow comes from the main drain system, the maximum water velocity in the pump
suction hydraulic system must be six feet per second or less even if one main drain (suction outlet) is
completely blocked. The flow through the remaining main drain(s) must comply with the latest ANSI/ASME
A1 12.19.8, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming and Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and
Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.
T esting and Certification - Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognized testing
laboratory and found to comply with the latest ANSI/ASME A1 12.19.8, the standard for Suction Fittings For
Use in Swimming and Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.
Fittings - Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings (but at least two suction
outlets).
Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.
Pool cleaner suction fittings must conform to applicable International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.

Section 2. General Description
2.1 Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation, operation and maintenance of Jandy
®
Stealth Series Pumps. Procedures in this manual must
be followed exactly. To obtain additional copies of
this manual contact us at 707-776-8200, ext. 237. For
address information, see back cover.
2.2 Description
®
Jandy
Stealth Series Pumps are designed to meet the
needs of today's more hydraulically demanding pool
equipment. The pump housing, backplate, diffuser,
hair and lint pot (pump basket), and impeller are
all made from high quality thermoplastic materials.
These materials were chosen for their strength and
corrosion resistance.
The pump is driven by an electric motor directly
attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor
turns it causes the impeller to turn, which forces water
to flow through the pump. The water flows through
the pump inlet and then into the filter basket. The
basket assembly pre-strains/traps large particles. The
water flow then enters the center of the pump housing,
goes through the impeller into the diffuser, and then
goes out the pump discharge port.
Section 3. Installation Information
3.1.2 Pump Location
1. It is recommended to install the pump within one
(1) foot above the water level. The pump should
not be elevated more than a few feet above
the water level of the pool. A check valve is
recommended on the suction line to the pump.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS
devices) are not compatible with installation of
check valves. If the pool has a SVRS device, be
sure to confirm that that it will continue to safely
operate when any check valves are installed.
NOTE Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump is
installed as close as possible to the water level of
the pool.
2. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent back flow of pool water
during any routine or required servicing.
3. The pump and other circulation equipment must
be located more than five (5) feet from the water.
Choose a location that will minimize turns in the
piping.
NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a minimum
of 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) from the water
(CSA C22.1).
4. The pump must be placed on a solid foundation
that will not vibrate. To further reduce the
possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to
the foundation, or place on a rubber mat.
3.1 Plumbing
3.1.1 Preparation Information
1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump
for concealed damage such as cracks, dents or a
bent base. If damage is found, contact the shipper
or distributor where the pump was purchased.
2. Inspect contents of carton and verify all parts are
included. See Section 7.1, Replacement Parts
List.
NOTE It is recommended to bolt the pump directly to the
foundation.
5. The pump foundation must have adequate
drainage to prevent the motor from getting wet.
Protect the pump from the rain and sun.
6. Proper ventilation is required for the pump
to operate normally. All motors generate heat
that must be removed by providing proper
ventilation.
7. Provide access for future service by leaving a
clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of
space above the pump to remove the lid and
basket for cleaning.
8. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
