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.
Figure 1 Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.) listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated ambient temperature whenever the pump is running. Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free - Non-combustible.
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 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. Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connection. To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward toward the pump.
Testing and Certification Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest ASME/ANSI Specification for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications. Outlets Per Pump NOTICE: 3 phase models require magnetic motor starters and external overload protection. If in doubt about the procedure, consult a licensed electrician.
