Operating Instructions and Parts Manual Inground and Above Ground Units
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. If specified, the
pump may be used with hot tubs and
spas. 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 it’s original integrity.
Pump only clear water. Do
not pump flammable or
explosive fluids such as
gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not
use in a flammable and/or explosive
atmosphere. Personal injury and/or
property damage could result.
All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. The pump must be
installed in compliance with all local
codes and the National Electrical Code.
2. Do not install within an outer
enclosure or beneath the skirt of
the hot tub or spa, unless so
marked.
Installation
LOCATION
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source before
attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Locate pump as close to pool/spa as
possible. Install the pump on a hard,
level surface that is dry, well ventilated
321700-001 6/02
and away from direct sunlight. The surrounding area should provide protection from the elements and ample
room for maintenance and service.
Ensure the drainage will flow away
from the pump.
Above ground pool pumps are not
self-priming. If suction line valves are
installed, the pump may be located
above water level. Keep the vertical distance from the water level to a minimum. Otherwise, the pump must be
located below filled water level to facilitate priming.
Inground pool pumps are self-priming. Mount pump below water level for
easy priming. If the pump must be
located above the filled water level,
keep the vertical distance to a minimum.
GENERAL PLUMBING
SOLVENT WELD CONNECTIONS
Use rigid or flexible PVC pipe. Ensure
pipe ends are clean and free of any
flash caused by the cutting operation.
Use the proper adhesive for the type of
pipe specified.
NOTE: Use an adhesive primer to
ensure adhesive joints are secure.
Suregard P-3000 has a purple tracer to
qualify in areas where codes specify a
primer must be used.
Description
This swimming pool pump is designed for
use with permanently installed pools only.
Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, carefully
inspect for any damage that may have
occurred during transit. Check for
loose, missing or damaged parts.
Danger indicates
an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury.
Notice indicates
important information, that if not followed, may cause
damage to equipment.
This manual contains information that
is very important to know and understand. This information is provided for
SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Installation (Continued)
Consider climatic conditions when
applying adhesives. Atmospheric conditions with high humidity will make the
adhesive action of certain glues less
effective. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use only Teflon
®
tape or equivalent on
threaded plumbing connections. Other
pipe compounds may damage threads.
Do not use silicone or petroleum based
compounds. Do not overtighten. Hand
tightening plus 1/2 turn is sufficient.
PUMP PLUMBING
Suction pipe should be as large or larger
than discharge pipe. Avoid using a suction pipe smaller than pump connection.
1. Keep the piping as straight and
short as possible, and of suitable
size.
2. Do not connect an elbow directly
into the pump inlet. A length of
straight pipe will allow proper entry
of the water to the pump.
3. Slope horizontal runs upward to the
pump to prevent trapping air.
4. Use independent piping supports to
alleviate strain on the pump.
5. Keep as much of the suction line as
possible below the water level to
reduce priming time.
6. Install valves and unions in the
pump suction and return lines to
facilitate servicing. Valves will throttle the pump discharge. Valves are
also essential for pump maintenance if the system is installed
below deck level.
7. Use a check valve in the suction pipe
for inground pumps at or below the
water level if the suction lift is more
than 5 feet or the dry suction is
more than 10 feet long. Keep the
valve in the suction line fully open
during operation.
WIRING
All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. The pump must be
installed in compliance with all local
codes and the National Electrical Code.
When motor installation is within 5 ft.
(1.5 m) of the pool’s interior walls, a
solid copper bonding conductor (minimum size No. 8 AWG/8.4 mm
2
) should
be connected from the accessible wire
connector on the motor.
• to all metal parts of the swimming
pool
• to all electrical equipment
• to metal conduit
• to metal piping within 5 ft. (1.5 m)
of the pool’s interior walls
Refer to information on motor nameplate for electrical service data. Install
motors with a fused disconnect switch
or dedicated circuit breaker. Be sure
wire size is sufficient for pump HP and
distance from power source. Install a
ground fault circuit interrupter for
maximum safety.
Disconnect, tag,
and lock out power
source before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR
This pump is factory wired for 115 volts.
To change the voltage to 230 volts follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the pump from power.
2. Remove cover from back of motor
to find voltage selector (Figure 1a).
3. Pull selector knob out.
4. Rotate selector knob to correct volt-
age setting (Figure 1b).
5. Push selector knob back in place.
6. Reinstall cover to back of motor.
Operation
Prime pump before attempting to operate. To prime pumps located above water
level, remove strainer cover, fill strainer
body with water then replace cover. If
pump and all piping is located below
water level, the pump will self prime.
After pump has been primed, energize
motor and open all suction and discharge line valves. If no flow is
observed in five minutes, stop the
motor and reprime. If the pump fails to
operate, check for air leaks. Refer to
troubleshooting section.
After about 10 minutes of operation,
check the return fittings for air bubbles.
A continuous flow of air indicates leaks
in the suction line. Locate and correct
any leaks immediately.
CONTROLLING PUMP DISCHARGE
Keep the gate valve in the suction line
fully open during operation. To control
the discharge, use a valve in the return
line.
Do not retighten
strainer Ring-Lok
during operation.
Do not operate
pump with closed
suction or discharge valve.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Proper and consistent use of chemicals
is necessary to manage a water system.
Chlorine is the most commonly used
chemical to provide clean, sanitary
water. Daily administration of dry or
liquid chlorine (calcium or sodium
hypochlorite) is essential.
IMPORTANT: Maintain the correct
level of acidity or alkalinity of the pool
water. Readings above pH 7.0 are alkaline. A pH 7.0 is neutral. Readings
below pH 7.0 are acidic. A desirable
range is 7.2 to 7.4.
IMPORTANT: Use copper
conductors only.
