NOTE
When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool,
you must use a No. 8 AWG or larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug.
7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor.
Run a wire from the external bonding to the pool bonding structure,
see Figure 1.
8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no other
lights or appliances are on the same circuit.
B. The Pump Strainer Basket.
This unit, sometimes referred to as the ‘Hair and Lint Pot’, is the unit in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the
basket which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the ‘See Through Lid’ to inspect
for leaves and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket
at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an abnormal stress on
the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill.
SECTION II. MAINTENANCE
WARNING
DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated
in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may
cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open
and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
A. Pump Strainer Basket Cleaning Procedures.
1. Turn off motor.
2. Relieve pressure in the system by allowing the water to cool.
3. Gently tap the clamp in a counter-clockwise direction to remove the clamp
and lid.
4. Put the debris from the basket into the trash and rinse out the basket. If the
basket is cracked, it should be replaced.
5. Replace the basket and fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with
water.
6. Clean the cover, cover O-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot. Grease
the O-ring with a silicone based lubricant.
7. Reinstall the lid by placing the clamp and the lid on the pot; see Figure 2.
a. Make sure the lid O-ring is properly placed. Seat the clamp and lid then
turn clockwise until the handles are perpendicular to the inlet/outlet ports;
see Figure 3.
8. Turn the power “ON” at the house circuit breaker. Reset the pool time clock
to the correct time.
