IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance to the National Electric Code and all Local Codes and ordinances. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should ALWAYS be followed. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING 1. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use this equipment 2. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). 3.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PUMP LOCATION 1. Locate the pump on a level surface as close to the pool as practical. Consult local codes for minimum distances between pool and pump if applicable. 2. The connection plumbing (hose or rigid pipe) should be direct and as free from turns and bends as possible. Take care not to kink flexible hose. Elbows and other fittings greatly increase friction losses. 3. Place pump on a solid foundation / base which provides a rigid and vibration free support. 4.
PUMP INSTALLATION 1. When connecting plumbing fittings to the pumps threaded ports, it is recommended that thread seal tape (Teflon tape) be used. If the suction (intake) connection is not sealed correctly the pump will not prime properly and will pump only small volumes of water or no water at all. 2. When installing the pump the suction line (hose or pipe) must be below the swimming pool water level to a point immediately beneath the pump to ensure priming via a flooded suction line.
PUMP MAINTENANCE • The pump requires little to no maintenance other than reasonable care and cleaning of the strainer basket on a regular basis. The pump is equipped with a mechanical seal. This seal may eventually come loose of a period of time, depending on running time and water quality. If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical seal should be installed. • See parts diagram for seal location. • The pump is equipped with a rubber O-Ring that seals the strainer basket lid.
DUAL PORT INSTALLATION • Your pump is equipped with a Dual Port Pump Housing • This means you can utilize a vertical or horizontal discharge for your pump. If you have a sand filter tank, the vertical discharge works best.
WINTERIZATION • In areas subject to freezing temperatures, it is recommended that the pump be disconnected and stored indoors in a warm and dry location. Remove the drain plugs from the pump housing and place them in the strainer basket for storage. DO NOT BLOCK SUCTION 1. Pump suction is dangerous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. 2. Blocking suction with body may cause severe and/or fatal injury 3.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Pump will not Prime Motor Does Not Run Low Flow Suction Air Leak Make sure see thru lid and O-Ring are clean, lubricated and tightened. Tighten all hoses and pipes on the suction side of the pump. Be sure water level in the swimming pool is high enough to flow through skimmer. Be sure skimmer port is not plugged or blocked No Water in Pump Make sure strainer tank is full of water Closed Valves or Blocked Lines Open all valves in system.
