High Efficiency Pool and Spa Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Winterizing
1. Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting
freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long
time (see instructions below).
2. Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
3. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do not cover
pump with plastic.
For outdoor/unprotected installations:
1. Gravity drain system as far as possible.
2. Protect areas which retain water with non-toxic
propylene glycol antifreeze (“RV antifreeze”).
3. Enclose entire system in a weatherproof enclosure.
4. To avoid condensation/corrosion damage, allow
ventilation; do not wrap system in plastic.
5. Use a 40% propylene glycol/60% water solution to
protect pump to -50°F (-46°C).
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.
Start-up for Winterized Equipment
1. Remove any temporary weather protection placed
around system for shutdown.
2. Follow filter manufacturer’s instructions for reactivation
of the filter.
3. Inspect all electrical wiring for damage or deterioration
over the shutdown period. Have a qualified serviceman
repair wiring as needed.
4. Inspect and tighten all watertight connections.
5. Open all valves in suction and return piping.
6. Remove any winterizing plugs in piping system.
7. Drain all antifreeze from system.
8. Close all drain valves and replace all drain plugs in
piping system.
9. Prime pump according to Priming the Pump on page 4.
