General Installation Information
•
All work must be performed by a qualifi ed pool professional, and must conform to all national,
state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore some
instructions may not apply to a specifi c model. All models are intended for use in swimming
pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specifi c
application and properly installed.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other than for which the pump
was intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may include but not
be limited to electric shock, fi re, fl ooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property
damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.
The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side of the plumbing system.
These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close proximity of
the suction openings. A person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may
become trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed
in accordance with the latest national and local codes for swimming pools.
General Warnings
Risk of Electrical Shock.
Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
Contact a qualifi ed electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be
tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should inter-
rupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate
in this manner, the GFCI is defective.
If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground
current is fl owing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump.
Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualifi ed service representa-
tive before using.
This pump is for use with permanent swimming 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 is capable of being readily disassem-
bled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
Electrical controls such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. should be
properly installed to allow the operation (start-up, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or
fi lter without requiring the user to place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump
strainer lid or fi lter lid. Such installation should allow the user to stand clear of the fi lter and
pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system.
