   Installation & Operation Manual

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.
Zodiac

®

 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 Zodiac equipment only. For non-Zodiac equipment, consult  equipment 

manufacturer.

CAUTION

Do not start pump dry! 

Running the pump dry for any length of time will cause severe damage and will void the 

warranty.

 

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

This pump is for use with permanently installed 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.
