Series Pumps Installation and Operation Manual
Section 2. General Description
2.1 Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation, operation and maintenance of Jandy
Stealth (SHP) Series Pumps. Procedures in this manual
must be followed exactly. To obtain additional copies
of this manual contact Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. at
800.822.7933. For address information, see the back
cover of this manual.
2.2 Description
Jandy SHP Pumps are designed to meet the needs of
today’s more hydraulically demanding pool equipment.
The pump housing, backplate, diffuser, hair and lint
pot (pump debris filter basket), and impeller are all
made from high quality thermoplastic materials. These
materials were chosen for their strength and corrosion
resistance.
The pump is driven by an electric motor directly
attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor
turns, it causes the impeller to turn, which forces water
to flow through the pump. The water flows through the
pump inlet and then into the filter basket. The basket
assembly pre-strains and traps large particles. The
water then enters the center of the pump housing, flows
through the impeller into the diffuser, and then flows
out the pump discharge port.
Section 3. Installation
3.1 Plumbing
3.1.1 Preparation
1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump for
concealed damage, such as cracks, dents or a bent
base. If damage is found, contact the shipper or
distributor where you purchased the pump.
2. Inspect the contents of the carton and verify
that all the parts are included. See Section 7.1,
Replacement Parts List.
3.1.2 Pump Location
1. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends installing
the pump within one (1) foot above the water
level. The pump should not be elevated more than
a few feet above the water level of the pool. A
check valve is recommended on the suction line to
the pump.
NOTE Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump
is installed as close as possible to the water
level of the pool.
2. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent back flow of pool water
during any routine or required servicing.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) devices
are not compatible with installation of check valves. If the
pool has an SVRS device, be sure to confi rm that it will
continue to safely operate when any check valves are
installed.
3. The pump and other circulation equipment must
be located more than five (5) feet from the water.
Choose a location that will minimize turns in the
piping.
NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a
minimum of three (3) meters [approximately ten
(10) feet] from the water (CSA C22.1).
4. The pump must be placed on a solid foundation
that will not vibrate. To further reduce the
possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to the
foundation.
NOTE Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends bolting
the pump directly to the foundation.
5. The pump foundation must have adequate drainage
to prevent the motor from getting wet. The pump
needs to be protected from the rain and sun.
6. Proper ventilation is required for the pump to
operate normally. All motors generate heat that
must be removed by providing proper ventilation.
7. Provide access for future service by leaving a
clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of space
above the pump to remove the lid and basket for
cleaning.
8. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
3.1.3 Pipe Sizing
NOTE All HP ratings given in this section apply to
full-rated pumps. For help with max-rated
pumps, contact Zodiac Technical Support at
800.822.7933.
3.1.3.1 Suction Pipe
When the pump is located up to 50 feet from the
pool, the recommended minimum pipe size for the
suction side of the pump is:
- 2" for .75 to 1.5 HP*
- 2½" for 2.0 HP*
