6EC - 10EC Series

6. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the
branch circuit supplying fountain equipment, pools, etc.
7. In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an
inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other
reason, a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
8. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause
piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
9. This pump’s motor housing is lled with a dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime
lubrication of the bearings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation can
occur if oil is left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can be removed
from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.
10. The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may
restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result
of excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump.
