Storage/Winterization
WARNING – Explosion Hazard. 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.
CAUTION – Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
CAUTION – Do NOT use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in
your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic
system components; other antifreezes 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.
