Wiring
WARNING –
All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all
applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC).
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are
also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and
circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch.
Time Clock
CAUTION –
Risk of equipment damage.
Never run the booster pump without the filtration
system operating. Running the booster pump dry will damage the pump and void its warranty.
Installation of a separate time clock for the booster pump is recommended. Set timers so that the cleaner
turns on at least one half hour after the filtration system starts, and turns off at least one half hour before
the filtration system turns off. Time clocks for the filtration system and the booster pump must be
coordinated at all times to insure proper sequence of the filtration system and cleaner operations. If the
power to the time clocks is shut off or interrupted for any reason, the time clocks must be reset. A longer
than normal cleaning cycle is recommended for the first 30 days of operation. If an automatic control
system is used, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation guide.
START-Up & OpERATION
prior to Start-Up
WARNING –
All suction and discharge valves
mUST be OpEN
, as well as filter manual air
relief valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating pump system for the first time, or after
servicing the system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
Starting the pump:
The filtration system pump must be running, and an automatic pool cleaner must be connected before
starting the booster pump. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, immediately
tum off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power before repairing the leak. Do not return
to the pump or filter until all water flow has stopped. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from
pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump.
WARNING –
Return to filter to close filter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water
(not air or air and water mix) is discharged from valve. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
CAUTION –
RISK OF EQUIpmENT DAmAGE.
Never operate the booster pump without
water. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. NEVER run pump dry.
Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and voids warranty. The filtration
system pump must be running before the booster pump is started. It is extremely important for the
booster pump to have an adequate water supply from the filtration system at all times. The booster
pump is not self-priming. To ensure that there is an adequate water supply for the booster pump:
