• Allow adequate access for servicing pump and
piping.
Pipe Sizing Chart
NOTE
: It is recommended that a minimum length
of piping, equivalent to 10 pipe diameters, be used
between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings.
▲WARNING Hazardous Pressure.
Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components
of a swimming pool filtration system operate under
pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly
tested filtration equipment and/or components may
fail resulting in injury and/or property damage.
2.
Plumbing
: Use Teflon tape to seal threaded
connections on molded plastic components. All
plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned
before use.
NOTE
:
Do NOT use Plumber’s
Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic
components
. When applying Teflon tape to plastic
threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the
male fitting with one to two layers of tape. Wind the
tape clockwise as you face the open end of the
fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. The pump
suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread
stops.
Do NOT attempt to force hose connector
fitting past this stop
. It is only necessary to tighten
fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by
hand and then use a tool to engage fitting an
additional 1-1/2 turns. Use care when using Teflon
tape as friction is reduced considerably.
Do NOT
over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage
. If
leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old Teflon
tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of
Teflon tape, and re-install connector.
3.
Fittings:
Fittings restrict flow. For better efficiency,
use the fewest possible fittings (but at least two
suction outlets). Avoid fittings that could cause an
air trap. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the
International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use a
non-entrapping suction fitting in pool (multiple
drains) or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
CHAPTER 3
: ELECTRICAL
1. Ground and bond motor before connecting to
electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond
pump motor can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard.
2. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
3. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn
OFF power to motor before working on electrical
connections.
4. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping
indicates electrical problem. If GFCI trips and won’t
reset, consult electrician to inspect and repair
electrical system.
▲WARNING Fire Hazard.
5. Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees
with the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and
that the wire size is adequate for the H.P. (KW)
rating and distance from the power source.
NOTE
:
All electrical wiring MUST be performed
by a licensed electrician, and MUST conform
to local codes and NEC regulations.
Use copper
conductors only.
6.
Voltage
: Voltage at motor
MUST NOT
be more
than 10% above or below motor name plate rated
voltage, or motor may overheat, causing overload
tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is
less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage
when motor is running at full load, consult Power
Company.
7.
Grounding and Bonding
: Install, ground, bond,
and wire motor in accordance with local or national
electrical code requirements. Permanently ground
motor. Use green ground terminal provided under
motor canopy or access place; use size and type
wire required by code. Connect motor ground
terminal to electrical service ground. Bond motor
to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal
parts within and around the pool with a continuous
wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing
between bonded metal objects, which could
potentially cause electrical shock if grounded
