Description
The self-priming pool pump is designed for high efficiency and easy installation and maintenance. It is constructed
for years of trouble-free service. This swimming pool pump is designed for use with permanently installed swimming
pools only.
Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, carefully inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Check for loose,
missing or damaged parts
INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring.
The pump mount must be located away from corrosive or flammable chemicals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow basic safety precautions with this equipment, including:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use product unless supervised at all times.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools. Do not use with portable pools. A permanently installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building and is not intended to be disassembled or moved.
Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain air temperature below the maximum ambient temperature rating shown on
the motor nameplate. Any enclosure or pump house must allow adequate ventilation to assure the ambient
temperature remains below the motor rating when the pump is operating.
Locate pump on a non-combustible surface as close to the pool/spa as possible. The surface should be hard, level,
dry, and well ventilated. The surrounding area should provide protection from the elements and allow sufficient space
for maintenance and service. Ensure the drainage will flow away from the pump. To reduce vibration and pipe stress,
use anchor bolts to secure the pump base to the surface.
Design the piping system to allow the pump suction inlet height to be as close to the water level as possible. Mount
the pump below water level for easy priming. If the pump must be located above the filled water level, keep the
vertical distance to a minimum. Use short, direct piping to the suction to minimize friction loss.
Fire and burn hazard.
Motors run at high temperatures. Do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect
around the pump motor. Allow the motor to cool before handling.
Use rigid or flexible PVC pipe. Ensure pipe ends are clean and free of any flash caused by cutting. Use proper glue
for the type of pipe selected.
NOTE:
Use a supplier recommended primer to ensure glued joints are secure. Many local codes require primer with
a purple tracer to verify primer use.
Consider climatic conditions when applying adhesives. Atmospheric conditions with high humidity will make the
adhesive action of certain glues less effective. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
