5.2 Winterizing the Pump
The pump
must
be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to
freeze will cause severe damage and void the war-
ranty.
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 com
-
pany.
CAUTION
1. Drain
all
water from the pump, system
equipment, and piping.
2.
Remove the two 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.
(Drain Plug with O-ring Set,
R0446000)
3.
Keep the motor covered and dry.
NOTE
Covering the pump with plastic will create
condensation, and this moisture will damage the
pump. The best way to protect your pump is to
have a qualified service technician or electrician
properly disconnect the electrical wiring at the
switch or junction box. Once the power is removed,
the two 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
.
