•Mod Media ilters
• DE ilters.
• Maximum operating water temperature is 120'
•Compatible with both CHLORINE or SALT WATER SYSTEMS
2.Installation
•Should be installed horizontally.
•The suction, pipe of the pump should be as short as possible. The rating label must be visible
after installation.
•Must be permanently connected to fixed wiring. Part including electrical components except
remote control devices must be located or fixed so that they cannot into bath.
•Ground and Bonding must BOTH be connected.
3. Pipe Assembly
•The suction and discharge pipes should not put any stress on the pump.
•Included fittings are designed to seal once installed. Please Hand tighten and then turn ¼ turn
by water pump pliers.
4.Electrical connection
•The electrical system must be in accordance with local building and electrical codes.
•A service disconnect is required within reach of the unit.
•Wiring and breaker size, as per local codes.
•The equipotential BONDING between the pool and the pump must be made.
•Wire serving as equipotential bonding conductors shall be a BARE Copper Wire, #8 or thicker.
5.Controls Prior to initial Start-Up
•Verify that the pump shaft turns freely.
•Check that the mains voltage and frequency are according to the name plate. ( 240 VAC at the
