Read the following instructions in this owner’s manual 
when installing and operating equipment. Have a trained 
pool professional perform all pressure tests.

1. Do not connect system to high pressure or mains 

water system.

2. Use equipment only in a swimming pool or spa pool 

installation.

3. Install pump with at least 2 hydraulically balanced 

main drains equipped with correctly installed, screw - 
fastened, antientrapment certified covers according 
to local regulations.

4. Trapped air in system can cause explosion.

Ensure all air is out of the system before operating or 
testing equipment.

Silentflo is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated 
from electrical supply during installation and any subsequent 
service work.

The pump should be installed and serviced by a suitably 
qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

These instructions are a guide only. Should you the installer or 
owner of the product be unfamiliar with the correct installation 
or operation of this product you should contact a suitably 
qualified person for advice.
