Pump | Owner's Manual
WARNING
Make sure that the control switch, time clock, or
control system is installed in an accessible location,
so that in the event of an equipment failure or a loose
plumbing fitting, the equipment can be turned off. This
location must not be in the same area as the pool
pump, filter, and other equipment.
Section 4. Winterizing
CAUTION
The pump must be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to
freeze will cause severe damage and may 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.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Turn OFF power to
pump motor by unplugging the pump.
1. Drain all water from the pump, system
equipment, and piping.
2. Keep the motor covered and dry. Do not cover
the pump with plastic, because this will create
condensation that will damage the pump.
NOTE After disconnecting the power and draining all
water from the pump, it is recommended that
the pump is removed from the plumbing and
stored indoors.
3. When the system is reopened for operation,
have a qualified technician or electrician 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.
4. The pump must be primed prior to starting.
Refer to Section 3.2, Startup.
4.1 Water Chemistry
• A proper and consistent use of chemicals is
necessary to maintain clean, sanitary water,
to prevent the spread of germ infection and
control the growth of algae which can spoil the
appearance and enjoyment of your pool or spa.
• Chlorine is the most commonly used chemical
to provide clean, sanitary water. Either dry or
liquid chlorine (calcium or sodium hypochlorite)
can be used which should be added daily as it
is dissipated by dirt and germs as well as by the
sun and wind.
• It is important that the correct level of acidity
or alkalinity of the pool water be maintained. A
desirable range is 7.2 – 7.4, with the pH of your
pool at pH 7.0 being neutral. Readings above
7.0 are alkaline and below are acidic.
4.2 Pump Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, remove power to the
pump by unplugging the pump motor before servicing
the pump.
• All maintenance must be performed with
breaker off.
• Motors are self-lubricating – no lubrication
required.
• Clean strainer basket.
• Visually inspect motor for blockage of air vents
on motor shell. Remove any debris.
