Wash hands after handling.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Read these rules and
instructions carefully.
MANUAL
Failure to follow these
instructions could cause serious bodily
injury and / or property damage.
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
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 selfpriming. 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. See list of recommended
adhesives on page 2.
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.
REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes!
Attach it to this manual or fi le it for safekeeping.

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
IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors
only.
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.
1. Switch OFF power.
2. Remove cover from back of motor.
3. The motor is factory wired for 230
volts.
4. Move Voltage Change Switch to 115
volts.
5. 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.

Maintenance
Disconnect, tag and lock
out power source before
attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
1. Motors are self-lubricating - no
additional lubrication is required.
2. Clean pool pump strainer of hair
and lint.
3. Visually inspect motor for blockage
of air vents on motor shell. Remove
any debris after shutting off breaker.
4. Replace worn shaft seals.
HAIR AND LINT STRAINER
1. Switch off the power.
2. Close the valves in the suction and
return line.
3. Turn strainer Ring-Lok counterclockwise and remove stainer cover.
4. Lift strainer basket away from the
pump.
5. Clean and reposition the basket
into the pump. Take care to seat the
basket properly.
6. Clean the o-ring and relubricate
with petroleum jelly if necessary.
7. Clean o-ring seats on the cover and
strainer.
8. Refit the cover and strainer RingLok; hand tighten only.
9. Open the valves to return pump to
operation.
Do not
strainer Ring-Lok during operation.
WINTERIZING
Always protect system from freezing
temperatures. Drain the system if there
is a possibility of freezing. To drain the
system:
1. Units with a filter:
a. Sand filter: Backwash for 3 to 5
minutes and then set dial valve to
winterize position.
b. Cartridge filter: Clean the filter
element and store in dry area.
2. Drain system by loosening drain
plug. The drain plug does not
have to be completely removed.
Removing pipe caps will facilitate
draining also.
