Important Notice: Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the
installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should
be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
WARNING — Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which
are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe
injury, death, or property damage.
All work must be performed by a licensed electrician, and must conform to
all EU country, and local codes.
WARNING — Entrapment Avoidance Notice:
The suction outlet connected to a swimming pool or spa pump can pull a high vacuum
if it is blocked. Therefore, if only one suction outlet smaller than 46 cm x 58 cm is used,
anyone blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against
the suction outlet. An abdominal wound or drowning can result. Therefore, if small
suction outlets are used with this pump, to prevent this entrapment and possible death,
install at least two suction outlets in the body of water. Separate these suction outlets
as described in the International Residential Code (IRC), the International Business
Code (IBC), the Consumer Products Safety Council (CPSC) Guidelines for Entrapment
Hazards: Making Pools and Spas Safer or ANSI/IAF-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment
Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. If
suction outlets are not used, additional entrapment avoidance measures as described
in the CPSC Guidelines or ANSI/IAF-7 should be employed.
The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to
the currently published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 Standard covering Suction
Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs. These covers
should be inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design
lifetime indicated on them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible ow rate of this
pump should be less than or equal to the maximum approved ow rate indicated on
the suction outlet cover by the manufacturer. THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS
OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE CRACKED OR
BROKEN CAN RESULT IN HAIR ENTANGLEMENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH.
WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certied electrician or a qualied pool
serviceman in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper
installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury
to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage
to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing
the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool
users or others due to electric shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
WARNING — Water temperature in excess of 38° C (100° F) may be hazardous to your health.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body
temperature of 37° C (98.6° F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness,
lethargy, dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure
to perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability
to exit the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in
danger of drowning.
WARNING —The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
WARNING — For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled
emergency switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily
accessible to the occupants and shall be installed at least 1.52 m (5 feet) away, adjacent
to, and within sight of the unit.
WARNING — When setting up ow rates the operator must consider local codes governing turnover as
well as disinfectant feed ratios.
WARNING — Before servicing the system, switch the main power OFF and remove the communication
cable from the pump.
CAUTION — Install the pump a minimum of 1.5 m (5 feet) from the inside wall of the pool and spa.
CAUTION — This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot
tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed
pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily
disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily
disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum
dimension of 5.49 m (18 feet) and a maximum wall height of 1.07m (42 inches).
CAUTION — For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt
of a hot tub or spa unless so marked.
CAUTION — IntelliFlo® VSD is capable of generating systems pressures up to 30 meters. Installers
must ensure that all system components are rated to withstand at least 30 meters. Over
pressurizing the system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.

General Installation Information
WARNING — Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other than
for which the pump was intended can result in severe personal injury
or death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock,
re, ooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property damage
caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component
WARNING — The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side
of the plumbing system. These high levels of suction can pose a risk
if a person comes within the close proximity of the suction openings.
A person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may
become trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction
plumbing be installed in accordance with the latest national and local
codes for swimming pools.
WARNING — In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in
which case supplementary mitigation measures may be required.
WARNING — Do not install on IT (insulated terra) mains network (marine applications)
WARNING — Fitting a non-return valve after the pump on installation will prevent the
impeller from unwinding and is strongly recommended.
NOTE — If required by local building codes, the pump is to be supplied by an isolating
transformer or supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a
residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
NOTE — Use RCD/GFCI type A or B.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore
some instructions may not apply to a specic model. All models are intended for use
in swimming pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly
