Water Velocity
The maximum water velocity through the suction fitting or cover for any suction outlet must be 1.5 ft. per second unless the outlet complies with the
latest ASME/ANSI Specification for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications. In any case, do
not exceed the suction fitting’s maximum designed flow rate.
If 100% of the pump’s flow comes from the main drain system, the maximum water velocity in the pump suction hydraulic system must be 6 ft. per
second or less even if one main drain (suction outlet) is completely blocked. The flow through the remaining main drain(s) must comply with the
latest ASME/ANSI Specification for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.
Testing and Certification
Suction outlet covers must have been tested by anationally recognized testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest ASME/ANSI
Specifications for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirl pool Bath tub Applications.
Fittings
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings (but at least two suction outlets). Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap. Pool
fittings must conform to International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use only non-entrapping suction fitting
or double suction.
Electrical
:
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Ground pump before connecting to power supply.
Ground motor before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or fatal electrical shock hazard.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on electrical connections.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI trips and will not re-set, have a qualified electrician
inspect and repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to name plate voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage motor and voids warranty. If in doubt
consult alicensed electrician.
:
Risk of explosion. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
