UNCRATING AND INSPECTION

Handle with care.
Check items received against packing list to be sure that all equipment has

been received.
Inspect for shipping damage. If found, file claim with carrier immediately.

Cleanup

Clean up all trash and other materials which will interfere with installation
from foundation and surrounding area.

For easy assembly, make sure all threaded joints and mating surfaces are
clean. If necessary, clean with wire brush and solvent.

To reduce danger of explosion and fire, do not use gasoline as a

cleaning solvent.

Remove all foreign material (packing, etc.) from pump and strainer.

INSTALLATION

Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring.

Foundation

Foundation must:

Be Solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free.
Be provided with necessary hold-down bolts, washers, and shims.
Allow pump inlet to be as close to water level as possible.
Use short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Locate pump below pool water level (pump is not self priming).
Allow for shutoff valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access and include suction and discharge (isolation) valves

for servicing pump and piping.

POOL PUMP SUCTION
REQUIREMENTS

Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disem­bowel bathers. Do not use or allow anyone else to use a pool, spa, or hot tub
unless it has at least two suction outlets to each pump suction line (see
“Outlets Per Pump,” Page 5). 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 Page 5 for outlet cover certification requirements.

All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in
place.

5

Outlets Per Pump

Provide at least two hydraulically balanced main drains, with covers (see
above), 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 1). 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 1).

More than one pump can be connected to a single suction line as long as the
requirements above are met.

Water Velocity

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 seven feet 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.

Piping – General

System piping must be at least equal to size of pump connections.
To prevent strain on the pump casing and foundation, pipe and fittings must

be aligned to pump without forcing.
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.

Piping – Suction

Risk of severe injury or drowning from hair or body
entrapment. To reduce risk of entrapment against pump suction opening,
connect pump to multiple drains and skimmers of non-entrapment design.
See “Pool Pump Suction Requirements,” Pages 4 and 5.

NOTICE: If pump suction becomes clogged, pump will cavitate, damaging

pump internal parts. Keep suction pipe clear of debris, dirt, etc.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for service, all flooded

suction systems must have valves in suction and discharge pipes.

Never use a suction pipe smaller than the pump suction connection.

Use larger pipe as required to keep water velocity below seven feet per
second or local construction code limits, whichever is lower.

Pump must be installed in a positive suction system – it is not self priming and
will not lift water if suction pipe is empty.

When using reducer to connect to pump flange, use an eccentric reducer with
the straight side on top.

Piping – Discharge

Maximum water velocity should be 10 feet per second. To minimize friction
losses, make piping one size larger than pump openings.

Fittings restrict flow; for best performance 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.

Strainer

Maximum hydrostatic test pressure is 25 PSI (172 kPa) water
pressure. To avoid explosion hazard, DO NOT test strainer
with air pressure. Air pressure in strainer can blow cover off of

strainer body, which can cause severe or fatal injury. Release

ALL air before hydrostatically testing strainer.

To avoid breaking pump or putting unnecessary strains on pump or strainer
body, support pipe independently of pump/strainer.

Center the strainer cover when installing it (especially when pressure testing).

When installing cover, clean O-Ring groove in strainer body, and lubricate
with petroleum jelly as follows:

A. O-Ring;
B. Sealing surfaces of strainer cover and body;
C. Threads and faces of wing nuts.

This will prevent corrosion, improve seal, and ease maintenance.

If strainer is installed backwards, debris will collect in suction pipe instead of
in strainer basket. Install strainer with cast-on flow arrows pointing in direc­tion of water flow.

Basket will only go into strainer one way; don’t force it.

Hazardous suction.
Can trap hair or
body parts, causing
severe injury
or death.

Do not block
suction.

ELECTRICAL

Disconnect power at service panel before connecting motor.

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.

Supply voltage must be within ±10% of nameplate voltage. Incorrect
voltage can cause fire or seriously damage motor and voids warranty.

If in doubt consult a licensed electrician.

Use wire size specified in Wiring Chart. If possible, connect pump to a
separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.

Single phase motors come factory wired for 230 volt operation. Do not alter
wiring in single phase motors. Match motor voltage to power supply voltage.
Do not connect three phase motors to single phase power supply or single
phase motors to three phase power supply.

All electrical wiring, grounding, and bonding must be done by a licensed
electrical contractor who is familiar with commercial swimming pool installa­tions and electrical codes and requirements. Wire sizing, wire type, branch
circuit fuse protection, motor starter, control equipment, and related items
must meet National Electrical Code and local code requirements.

Wiring

1. Install, ground, wire and maintain this pump in accordance with your local

electrical code and all other codes and ordinances that apply. Consult your
local building inspector for local code information.

2. Ground the pump permanently using a wire of size and type specified by

local or National Electrical Code.

Do not ground to a gas supply line.

3. Connect ground wire first. Connect to ground first, then to green grounding

terminal provided (identified as GRD or ). Make ground connection to
this terminal. Do not connect motor to electrical power supply until unit is
permanently grounded; otherwise serious or fatal electrical shock hazard
may be caused.

4. For best ground connection, connect ground wire to a grounded lead in the

service panel.

Bond motor to pool structure according to local or National Electrical Code.
Use a solid copper conductor, size No. 8 (6.0 mm

2

) AWG or larger.

Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.

Ground pump before
connecting to
power supply.

8

Fire Hazard. Before using pump, check your motor nameplate
for voltage. Your electric supply voltage and the stamped nameplate voltage

must agree. Motors stamped 200 volts or 230 volts, must be used with that
voltage only. Motors stamped with two voltages (for example 230/460 volts),

may be used with either supply voltage. For these motors check connections
against wiring diagram on motor nameplate and make any changes necessary
to agree with your supply voltage. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
Incorrect voltage will cause serious damage to the motor.

Some models are equipped with three phase motors, which require magnetic
starters.

Motors can run in either direction, depending on how they are connected to
the power supply.

To check motors for proper rotation: Remove the motor end cover. This ex­poses the motor shaft. If hook-up is correct, the shaft will rotate clockwise. If
rotation is not clockwise:

•3 Phase motors: Reverse any two leads to the starter.

•1 Phase motors: See wiring diagram on motor nameplate.

The rotation will now be correct. BE SURE power is off to the motor when
working on electrical connections.

Burn Hazard. Motor normally operates at high temperature and
will be too hot to touch. Before handling pump or motor, stop motor and
allow it to cool for 20 minutes.

OPERATION

Hazardous suction. Can trap hair or body parts, causing severe
injury or death by drowning. Do not block pump or strainer
suction with body. Small children using pool must ALWAYS
have close adult supervision!

Do not run pump against closed discharge valve. To do so
can boil water in pump body, which cause pump to explode and can cause
severe burns to people working on pump.

NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals,

causing leakage and flooding. Fill pump with water before starting motor.

Before removing strainer cover:

1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.

2. CLOSE SHUTOFF VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.

3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.

After pressure test, release all pressure before removing strainer cover!

NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation. Ambient air temperature should be

104°F (40°C) or less.
NOTICE: To prevent corrosion damage, store pool chemicals in another room

away from pump.

Priming Pump

Hazardous Pressure! Before removing strainer cover, remove

vent plug in cover or open filter tank air release valve and release all pressure
from system.

In a flooded suction system open suction/discharge valves to prime. If pump is
not in a flooded suction system, remove strainer cover; fill strainer and pump
with water.

If necessary, use a wrench on flats when removing wing nuts.

When installing cover, clean O-Ring sealing surface on strainer body, and
lubricate with petroleum jelly as follows:

A. O-Ring;

B. Sealing surfaces of strainer cover and body;

C. Threads and faces of wing nuts.

This will prevent corrosion, improve seal, and ease maintenance.

Center strainer cover when installing it (especially when pressure testing).

Hand tighten wing nuts. When tightening, alternate back and forth between
nuts to compress O-Ring evenly.

Maximum wing nut torque is 25 ft.-lbs. (3.5 kg.-m).

Start pump; it should prime now.

If pump does not prime, make sure that all valves are open, suction pipe end
is under water and that there are no leaks in suction pipe. See
Troubleshooting Guide, Page 13.

NOTICE: To avoid corrosion damage to pump and strainer, do not add chemi­cals to system anywhere on suction side of pump (including into skimmers).
Do not pour chemicals into strainer. Follow chemical manufacturer’s instruc­tions when mixing or adding chemicals to system.
