2 INSTALLATION Only a qualified plumbing professional should install the SuperFlo® High Performance Pump. Refer to “Pump Warning And Safety Instructions” on pages ii-iii for additional installation and safety information. Location Be sure the pump location meets the following requirements: REAR CLEARANCE 3 IN. (76.2 CM) MINIMUM Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked accordingly. 3 IN. MINIMUM 1.
3 RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
4 MAINTENANCE DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
5 SERVICING Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker and disconnect the communication cable before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock. Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump. DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot.
6 DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level. If the water level falls below the suction port, the pump will draw air through the suction port, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action Pump failure. Pump will not prime - Air leak, too much air. Check suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Secure lid on pump strainer pot and be sure lid gasket is in place. Check water level to be sure skimmer is not drawing air. Pump will not prime - Not enough water. Be sure the suction lines, pump, strainer, and pump volute are full of water.
