Section 5. Service and
Maintenance
5.1 Routine Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, turn off the pump and
switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor
before servicing the pump.
Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through
the clear pump lid. Remove any debris, because as
debris accumulates, it will begin to block the flow
of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean to
improve the performance of the pump.
1.
Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below the water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent backflow of water.
2.
Turn the lid’s locking ring counter-clockwise
until ‘START’ aligns with the ports. Carefully
remove the lid.
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be
improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could
result in pump damage.
3.
Lift the basket out of the pump. Dispose of all
debris and thoroughly clean the basket, making
sure all the holes are open. Using a garden hose,
spray the basket from the outside to help clear
the holes. Remove any remaining debris by
hand.
4.
Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the
open section of the basket with the inlet pipe. If
aligned properly, the basket will drop easily into
place.
Do not force it into place.
5.
Remove the lid o-ring and remove debris
around the lid o-ring seat, as this will cause air
leaks into the system. Clean the lid o-ring and
replace it.
6.
Replace the lid with locking ring on the pump
housing. Align ‘START’ with the ports and
turn the lid’s locking ring clockwise until
‘LOCKED’ aligns with the ports.
Hand-tighten
the lid to make an air tight seal.
Do not use any
tools to tighten the lid.
7.
Verify that all valves have been returned to the
proper position for normal operation.
8.
Open the pressure release valve on the filter, and
make sure it is clean and ready for operation.
9.
Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the
air has been evacuated from the filter, close the
filter pressure release valve.
5.2 Winterizing the Pump
CAUTION
The pump
must
be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump
to freeze will cause severe damage and void the
warranty.
CAUTION
Do not use antifreeze solutions in the pool,
spa, or hot tub systems!
Antifreeze is highly toxic
and may damage the circulation system. The only
exception to this is Propylene Glycol. For more
information see your local pool/spa supply store or
contact a qualified swimming pool service company.
1. Drain
all
water from the pump, system
equipment, and piping.
2.
Remove the two (2) drain plugs. Store the drain
plugs in a safe location and reinstall them when
the cold weather season is over.
Do not lose the
o-rings.
3.
Keep the motor covered and dry. Do not cover it
with plastic, as this will create condensation and
this moisture will damage the pump.
NOTE
To protect your pump, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC
recommends having a qualified service technician or
electrician properly disconnect the electrical wiring
at the switch or junction box. Once the power is
removed, the two (2) unions can be loosened and the
pump stored indoors. For safety, and to prevent entry
of contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal box
covers.
4.
When the system is reopened for operation,
make sure all piping, valves, wiring, and
equipment are in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Pay close
attention to the filter and electrical connections.
5.
The pump must be primed prior to starting; refer
to
Section 4.1, Start-up
.
Section 6. Troubleshooting
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC strongly recommends that
you call a qualified service technician to perform any
repairs on the pump system. To locate a qualified
technician, check your local yellow pages or visit
