Pump Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use an extension cord. Only connect to a GFCI protected receptacle. Failure to
do so could result in an electrical shock to pool users, installers, or others which can result in serious personal injury or
death.
1.
To prime pump - (pump must be off).
Unscrew lid from pot and fill pot with water to level of suction line. Inspect O-ring, lubricate with silicone lubricant. Screw lid
into pot, hand tighten, lid shoulder will come to rest on pot surface. Turn pump on, depending upon elevation above water
level and horizontal distance of suction line, priming time will vary. If filter is installed, open air relief valve, before turning
pump on, until a steady stream of water comes out, then close air relief valve. Pump is now primed. If pump is installed below
water level, close return line prior to filling hair/lint pot with water. Line must be reopened before turning pump on.
2.
To clean basket - (pump must be off).
Follow procedure above to prime pump. After removing lid, remove basket and empty debris. Replace basket and proceed to
fill pot with water. It is important to visually inspect the basket, through the see through lid, at least once a week. A dirty
basket will reduce the efficiency of your system, and can put an abnormal load on the pump which could result in costly repair
bills.
CAUTION
DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY. If pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and external leakage will occur. When a
seal is damaged, the seal must be replaced.
CAUTION
ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER WATER LEVEL IN THE POOL. Water level must be half way up the skimmer opening. A low water
level can cause the pump motor to run dry which will damage the mechanical seal and cause external leakage.
3.
Shaft Seal - (Rotary Seal). The shaft seal consists of two parts:
a. Stationary ceramic seal, press fitted into seal plate.
b. A rotating spring loaded seal, press fitted onto impeller shaft.
CAUTION
The highly polished and lapped faces of the seal are easily damaged. Handle with care. This centrifugal pump requires little or no
service, however, the shaft seal will wear with normal use over the years, and will require periodic replacement.
4.
The electric motor.
a.
The electric motor should be protected from foreign matter, water splashing, hosing and the weather. Enclosures should
be well ventilated to prevent overheating. If a motor becomes wet, permit it to dry before running it. If a motor has been
damaged by water or dirt, the warranty is void.
b.
The motors used on these pumps are 48 frame through bolt motors. The through bolts are used to secure the seal plate to
the motor. When replacing motor, mark the end bells and the motor shell to indicate alignment. Remove the four nuts
from the through bolts at shaft end. Place shaft through back of seal plate and locate through bolts in line with brass
inserts located in four legs at rear of seal plate, be sure end bell and shell marking line up. Securely fasten motor to seal
plate.
c.
Protect motor from heat. Provide ample ventilation.
d.
Protect motor from dirt and chemicals. Keep motor, motor vents and surrounding area clean. Avoid sweeping or stirring
up dust near the motor while it is running. Avoid stirring (or spilling) water or chemicals near the motor.
e.
Protect motor from moisture. Provide protection from rain, snow, lawn sprinklers, etc. Locate motor on a slight elevation
so that water will not run or puddle nearby. Do not splash water on or near the motor.
