SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To minimize the 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.
Polaris pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
However, if 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 35 PSI.
• Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
NOTICE: These parameters apply to Polaris equipment only. For non-Polaris 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 may void the
warranty.
CAUTION
For USA only: for use with permanently installed above ground 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 within an outdoor enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or portable spa. The pump requires
adequate ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient temperature rating listed on
the motor rating plate.
CAUTION
In order to avoid premature failure or damage to the equipment, protect the equipment from direct water exposure
from sprinklers, water runoff from rooftops and drainage, etc. Failure to comply may cause equipment failure may
void the warranty.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical
outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 6 feet (1.8m) from the pool. In Canada, the minimum distance
maintained from the edge of the pool and/or spa as noted above must be 3 meters (10 feet), as required by the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC, CSA C22.1). Swimming pool pumps located within 3 meters (10 feet) of the pool
walls must be specifically approved for this purpose. Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn
mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
