WARNING – It is required that licensed electricians do all electrical wiring. Risk of Electric Shock. Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local and national codes and regulations. Before working on pump or motor, turn off power supply to the pump.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.

WARNING – Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the circuit. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufacturer’s instructions. Pump MUST be permanently connected to GFCI.

WARNING – Failure to bond pump to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond pump. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.

Notes to the electrician:

Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general wiring procedures.

WARNING – Suction Entrapment Hazard.

Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or

unsecured cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:

Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.

Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that

is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.

Body Suction Entrapment- A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.

Evisceration/ Disembowelment- A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/disembowelment.

Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or knuckles to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

WARNING - To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:

- When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.

- Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by

auser.

-Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.

-The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found at the bottom of page 5 of this manual.

-Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.

-Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.

-In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest IAF (formerly NSPI) standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.

-Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.

WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after pump shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover due to pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to

return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water mix) is discharged from the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING – Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system.

Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING – WARNING –

Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI.

Fire and burn hazard. Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly isolated from

any flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk for burns.

WARNING – Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.

Installation Instructions

WARNING – This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.

Pump Location

Locate filter as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to reduce friction loss. Suction lines should have continuous slope upward from lowest point in line. Joints must be tight (but not over-tightened). Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than the discharge line diameter.

Though the filter is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to place pump and filter in the shade to shield them from continuous direct heat. Select a well-drained area that will not flood when it rains. Do NOT install pump and filter in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.

Pump Mounting

Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and national codes. Fasten pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The base MUST be solid, level, rigid, and vibration free.

Pump mount must:

Allow pump 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.

Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.

Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
