8. Verify that all valves have been returned to the proper position for normal operation. Turn on the power
to the pump.
Routine Maintenance - continued
CAUTION:
The pump must be protected when freezing temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump
to freeze will cause severe damage and void the warranty.
There are two options when winterizing the pump
Option 1:
1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and piping.
2. Remove drain plugs. Do not replace plugs. Store the plugs in the empty strainer basket for winter.
3. Keep the motor covered and dry.
Option 2:
1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and piping.
2. Remove the pump and motor from the plumbing and store indoors in a warm and dry location.
Note: When the winter season is over the pump will need to be primed prior to start. Refer to Section 4
Operation, Start Up Guide.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the
pump will start to leak at the seal. If this occurs, the mechanical seal will need to be replaced.
ALWAYS
maintain the proper water level in your pool. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of
pressure, resulting in damage to the pump casing, impeller, and mechanical seal (voiding warranty).

Troubleshooting
Fault LED
WARNING:
The pump must be serviced by a professional service technician qualified in pool/spa
installation. The following procedures must be followed exactly. Improper installation and/or operation
can create dangerous electrical hazards, which can cause high voltage to run through the electrical
system. This can cause property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death. Improper installation
and/or operation will void the warranty.
The fault LED will be solidly on if there is a fault in the controller portion of the electronics. This can
include over temperature, over current, over/under voltage, or an open phase of the motor. The fault
LED will blink if a fault has been detected in the user interface. The motor reads the fault status every
seven seconds. The motor will stop and remain off when a fault is present. Once the fault is cleared, if the
motor was previously running, it will automatically resume running the normal schedule. During the fault
condition, the Bar graph LEDs will turn off. However, the power LED and active STEP LED will remain
illuminated. When a fault is present, only the STOP key will function. Once the fault is cleared, the fault
LED will turn off automatically.
