NOTE:
When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you must use a No. 8 AWG or larger
conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
CAUTION:
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so marked.
Wiring:
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will
create an electrical hazard which could result in death or damage to property. Always disconnect power to the
pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious
injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2. Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor voltage (230v or 115v). If
they do not match the motor will burn up.
3. Choose a wire size from Chart 1. When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diam-
eter) wire. Heavier gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient.
4. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or touch when connected
to the terminal board.
5. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
6. Permanently ground the motor using the internal, green ground terminal located
on the inside of the motor canopy or access plate, see Figure 1. Use the correct
wire size and type specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground
wire is connected to an electrical service ground.
7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the
brass external bonding clamp, see Figure 1, to the pool bonding structure.
8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.
NOTE:
If the pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on
pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating.
The Pump Strainer Basket:
This unit, sometimes referred to as the “Hair and Lint Pot”, is the unit in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the basket
which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the “See Through Lid” to inspect for leaves
and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at
