ELECTRICAL
Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) solid copper bonding
wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the
motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool,
spa, or hot tub and to all electrical equipment, metal pip-
ing or conduit within 5 ft. (1.5m) of inside walls of swim-
ming pool, spa, or hot tub.
Wiring
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Table I,
Page 6, gives correct wire and circuit breaker sizes for the
pump alone. If other lights or appliances are also on the
same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to pump amp
load before figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes. (If un-
sure how to do this or if this is confusing, consult a li-
censed electrician.) Use the load circuit breaker as the
master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit;
it will sense a short-circuit to ground and disconnect
power before it becomes dangerous to pool users. For size
of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see man-
ufacturer’s instruction.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which
will prevent normal pump operation). Reset if necessary.
NOTICE:
If you do not use conduit when wiring motor,
be sure
to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent
dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
OPERATION
NEVER run pump dry.
Running pump dry
may damage seals, causing
leakage and flooding. Fill
pump volute and trap with
water before starting motor.
Do not add chemicals
to pool/spa system di-
rectly in front of pump suc-
tion. Adding undiluted
chemicals may damage
pump and voids warranty.
Before removing trap cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge
pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping
system.
If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pres-
sure has been released before removing trap
cover.
Do not block pump suction. To do so with body
may cause fatal injury. Small children using
pool must ALWAYS have close adult supervision.
NOTICE:
Do not block pool return or spa jets. To do so
may flood area causing damage to equipment and sur-
rounding area.
Priming Pump
Open gate valves before starting system.
Release all air from filter and piping system. See filter own-
er's manual.
In a flooded suction system (water source higher than
pump), pump will prime itself when suction and dis-
charge valves are opened.
If pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and
remove trap cover; fill trap and pump with water.
