• open any valves at the inlet and outlet of the booster pump before operation
• set all filtration system valves in a manner that does not deprive the booster pump of water during
operation
• do not operate the booster pump without a pressure cleaner connected to the system
• set time clocks such that the booster pump only operates when the filtration system is on
• clean filtration system regularly to prevent flow restrictions
CAUTION –
RISK OF EQUIpmENT DAmAGE.
Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa
system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids
warranty.
If filtration system pump is to be turned off for any reason, then the booster pump must be turned off
before turning off the filtration system pump.
NOTE –
If the Advantage booster pump is used to replace the booster pump in an existing pressure
cleaner installation, then the cleaner operating pressure should be reset according to the cleaner
manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
mAINTENANCE
• Advantage pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
• Keep motor clean. Insure motor air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use
water to hose off motor.
• Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. See “Shaft Seal Change
Instructions” in this manual.
Storage/Winterization
WARNING –
Separation hazard.
Do not purge the system with compressed
air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk
of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high
volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
ATTENTION –
Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
ATTENTION –
Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system. Propylene
glycol is nontoxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic
and may damage plastic components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump
for a long time (see instructions below). Gravity drain system as far as possible.
Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover
or wrap pump with plastic film or bags.
