PUMP CARE
MOTOR
The motor should be in a well ventilated area free of debris. It is essential that the area is dry
as water can cause damage to the electrics. The motor is fitted with a thermal overload
switch and may cut out if the pump overheats. It will automatically reset itself when the motor
cools. Water temperature is not to exceed 45°C.
SEALS
The pump has O-rings that require occasional lubrication. It is imperative that a
silicone based
lubricant
is used.
DO NOT
use petroleum based products as these result in damage to the
O-rings.
The mechanical seal consists of two parts. A spring loaded rotating seal with a polished
carbon face and a stationary ceramic seat. When pressed together these surfaces create a
seal between the wet end and the motor. Damage to this seal may occur when running the
pump without water flowing through it. This type of damage is easily detected and
may not
be
covered by your warranty. Monitor the water level in the pool regularly. Empty the skimmer and
pump baskets and clean the filter on a regular basis.
DO NOT
operate the pump with inline or filter multiport valves closed.
