DANGER - Hazardous suction. Do not block water entry into
filtration system with any part of your body as the pressure can
trap hair or body parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not
block suction. Turn off pump immediately if someone becomes
trapped.
Caution! Do not add chemicals directly to the pool skimmer or
suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and
filter and void warranty.
Routine Maintenance tasks – to maximise the life of your pool
equipment & personal safety, use this checklist once a week.
Turn pump off first.
a. Make sure that any pressure gauges are in working condition and
the operating pressure is within limits as specified on the product.
b. Make sure that each suction inlet, and main drain has a cover that is
securely attached and in safe working condition.
c. Make sure that all skimmer covers are securely attached and in safe
working condition. These should be replaced every 3 to 4 years.
d. Remove any obstructions or debris from the main drain cover.
e. Ensure the skimmer baskets and any pump hair and lint pots are
free of leaves and debris at least once a week.
f. Remove obstructions and combustibles from around the pump
motor.
g. Make sure all wiring connections are clean and that all wiring and
electrical equipment is in good condition. Damaged wiring must be
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician as soon as damage is
discovered.
h. Check water balance and sanitiser levels at your local pool shop.
WARNING! Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown
or disembowel bathers. Do not block suction. Do not use or
operate swimming pools, spas or spa baths if a suction cover is
broken, missing or loose. Two suction covers and inlets must be
provided into every pump to avoid suction entrapment.
