and the operating pressure is within limits as specified on the
product.

that is securely attached and in safe working condition.

WARNING! Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown
or disembowel bathers. Do not block suction. Do not use or
operate swimming pools, spas or spa baths if a suction cover is
broken, missing or loose. Two suction covers and inlets must
be provided into every pump to avoid suction entrapment.
