or property damage if ignored.
NOTICE indicates special instructions not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual and on equip-
ment. Keep safety labels in good condition; replace if missing or damaged.
Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing
severe injury or property damage.
Read and follow instructions in owner's manual when installing
and operating equipment. Have a trained pool professional per-
form all pressure tests.
1. Do not connect system to a high pressure or city water system.
2. Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.
3. Trapped air in system can cause explosion. BE SURE all air is out of system
before operating or testing equipment.
Before pressure testing, make the following safety checks:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories before testing.
• Release all air in system before testing.
• Tighten Sta-Rite trap lids to 30 ft. lbs. (4.1 kg-m) torque for testing.
• Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI (7.5 kg/cm2).
• Water Temperature for test must be less than 100oF. (38oC).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready
for operation. Remove trap lid and retighten hand tight only.
NOTICE: These parameters apply to Sta-Rite equipment only. For

INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow basic safety precautions with this equipment, including the following.
To reduce the risk of
injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
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.

INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring.
Pump mount must:
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 connec-
tions 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.
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 addi-
tional layers of tape and remake the connection.
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump!

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 inde-
pendently. 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.
