INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump
and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable chemicals.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less
than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.)
listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is installed in
an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated ambient
temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount.)
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water
level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction
losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
NOTICE: Use Teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik1for making
all threaded connections to the pump. Do not use pipe
dope; pipe dope will cause stress cracking in the pump.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections have
molded in thread stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe in beyond these stops.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at
high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow
leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let
it cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on it.
Teflon Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of Teflon
tape. Cover entire threaded portion of pipe.
Do not overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump
port!
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap
with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the
connection.
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump!

Lake Chemical Co., Chicago, Illinois
Piping:
Use at least 2" IPS PVC (51mm) pipe. Increase size if a
long run is needed.
To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and
discharge pipes independently. Place these supports near
the pump.
To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start
all piping at the pump and run pipe away from the pump.
Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connection.
To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward
toward the pump.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for
service, all flooded suction systems must have gate valves
in suction and discharge pipes.
Fittings:
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.
Pool fittings must conform to International Association of
Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.
Use only non-entrapping suction fitting or double suction.

POOL PUMP SUCTION
REQUIREMENTS
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap
and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate
swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet
cover is missing, broken, or loose. Follow the guidelines
below for a pump installation which minimizes risk to
users of pools, spas, and hot tubs.
Entrapment Protection
The pump suction system must provide protection against
the hazard of
suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement.
Suction Outlet Covers
All suction outlet covers must be maintained. They must
be replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.
See below for outlet cover certification requirements.
All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screwfastened covers in place.
Testing and Certification
Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and found to comply
with the lastest ASME/ANSI Specification for Suction
Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and
Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.
Outlets Per Pump
Provide at least two hydraulically balanced main drains,
with covers (see below), for each swimming pool pump
suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction fittings) must be at least three feet apart.
The system must be built so that it cannot operate with
the pump drawing water from only one main drain (that
is, there must be at least two main drains connected to
the pump whenever it is running). (See Figure 2).
However, if two main drains run into a single suction
line, the single suction line may be equipped with a valve
which will shutoff both main drains from the pump (see
Figure 2).
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 any suction outlet
must be 1.5 feet (46cm) per second unless the outlet
complies with the latest ASME/SNSI Specification for
Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot
Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications. In any case,
do not exceed the suction fittings 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 6 feet (183cm) per second or
less even if one main drain (suction fitting) is completely
blocked. The flow through the remaining main drain(s)
must comply with the latest ASME/ANSI Specification for
Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot
Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.

ELECTRICAL
Ground motor before
connecting to electrical
power supply. Failure to
ground motor can cause severe or fatal electrical shock
hazard.
Do not ground to a gas
supply line.
To avoid dangerous or
fatal electrical shock,
turn OFF power to motor before working on electrical
connections.
Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) tripping indicates an electrical
problem. If GFCI trips and
will not reset, have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to nameplate voltage.
Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage motor and voids warranty. If in doubt consult a licensed electrician.
Voltage
Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or
below motor nameplate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component
life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of
rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult
power company.
Grounding/Bonding
Install, ground, bond and wire motor according to local
or National Electrical Code requirements.
Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal
provided under motor canopy or access plate (See Figure
3); use size and type wire required by code. Connect
motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
Bond motor to pool structure. Use a solid copper conductor, size No. 8 AWG (8.4 sq.mm) or larger. Run wire
from external bonding lug (see Figure 3) to reinforcing
rod or mesh.
Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 sq.mm) solid copper bonding
wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the
motor housing and to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub and to all electrical equipment,
metal piping or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside
walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
Wiring
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Match
wire and circuit breaker sizes to Table I (Page 6). If other
lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to
add their amp loads to pump amp load. (If unsure how to
do this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician.)
Use the load circuit breaker as the master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit;
it will sense a short-circuit to ground and disconnect
power before it becomes dangerous to pool users. For
size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see
manufacturer’s instructions.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which
will prevent normal water circulation). Reset if necessary.
NOTICE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor,
be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent
dirt, bugs, etc., from entering motor.
Risk of dangerous or fatal electrical shock.
Be sure that power to the motor circuit is off before
working on wiring, wiring connections, or motor. Re-install the motor end cover and all other wiring covers before turning on the power.
1. Turn off power.
2. Remove the motor end cover.
