WINTERISATION
Is it important to protect your High Performance Insnrg Pump from
freezing water conditions. As water freezes it expands and that can
cause the internals of the Pump to break under the intense pressure
of expanding water. It is our to you to monitor temperatures and
take the following actions:
1. In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing conditions may
occur, run your pump and filtering equipment all night to maintain
water circulation and prevent freezing.
2. If freezing conditions are expected, take the following steps to
reduce the risk of freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered
under warranty.
To prevent freeze damage follow the procedures listed below:
1. Shut off electrical power for the pump at the house circuit
breaker.|
2. Drain the water out of the pump housing by removing the two
thumb-twist drain plugs from the housing. Store the plugs in the
pump basket.
3. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice.
Once the freezing conditions are finished, it is important to reverse
the above procedure and prime the pump for operation.
