WARNING
To minimize risk of severe injury or death, the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping
system pressurization test.
Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements
are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment, such as filters or pumps.
AstralPool pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If, however, the WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include
the filter and/or pump, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings, and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed
and secured before testing.
• RELEASE ALL AIR
in the system before testing.
• Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 250 KPA (35 PSI).
• Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 38°C (100°F).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Notice
: These parameters apply to AstralPool equipment only. For non-AstralPool equipment, consult
the equipment manufacturer.
WARNING
Chemical spills and fumes can weaken pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can cause filters and other
equipment to fail, resulting in severe injury or property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near your
equipment.
CAUTION
Do not start pump dry!
Running the pump dry for any length of time will cause severe damage and will
void the warranty.
CAUTION
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas, if so
marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground
or in a building, such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed
so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
CAUTION
Do not install beneath the skirt of a hot tub. The pump requires adequate ventilation to maintain air
temperature at less than the maximum ambient temperature rating listed on the motor rating plate.
