ii IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTICE This guide provides installation and operation instructions for this pump. Consult Pentair with any questions regarding this equipment. Attention Installer: This guide contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment after installation or left on or near the pump.
iii IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured. NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
1 INSTALLATION Trapped air in the system can cause permanent equipment damage. Ensure all air is relieved from the system before operating, testing or servicing the equipment. Do NOT connect system to a high pressure or city water system. Location Piping Only qualified, licensed personnel should install the pump and pump wiring. 1. Use at least 2” (51mm) pipe. Increase size if a long run is needed.
2 Pump Suction Requirements The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazard of suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement. Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. Follow the guidelines below for a pump installation which minimizes risk to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs.
3 Electrical Installation 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 (NEC) and all other applicable national or 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 OPERATION 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.
5 Start-up for Winterized Equipment Winterizing Allowing the pump to freeze will damage pump and void warranty. Do not use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol, “RV antifreeze”, is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system. 1. Remove any temporary weather protection placed around system for shutdown. 2.
6 MAINTENANCE This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman 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 pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property. Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump.
7 Pump Reassembly / Installing New Seal IMPORTANT: The ceramic seal of the pump’s shaft seal must be clean and free of dirt, grease and dust before installing. 1. Wet the outer edge of the ceramic seal with a small amount of liquid detergent. Firmly and squarely press it into the seal plate cavity with your thumbs. 2. If ceramic seal does not seat properly into the seal plate cavity, remove it and place the seal face up on a flat surface. Reclean the seal plate cavity and attempt to reseat the seal. 3.
8 TROUBLESHOOTING Read and understand all safety and operating instruction in this manual before servicing the Dyna-Pro® Self-Priming Pool/ Spa Pump. Only qualified personnel should electrically test the pump motor. Problem Possible Cause Failure to Pump Suction leaks / lost Water; Reduced prime Capacity or Discharge Pressure Corrective Action Ensure pump volute and strainer basket are full of water. See Priming the Pump on page 4. Inspect for leaks in the suction piping.
