SECTION I. INSTALLATION
Notice to Installer
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.
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and 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.

WARNING

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
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 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07m).

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
SECTION II. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
A. The Pump Strainer
This unit, sometimes referred to as the “Hair and Lint Pot”, is the unit in front of the pump volute (6-1/2" in
diameter). The lid screws directly into the pot and should be hand tightened only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Inside the chamber is the basket. This basket must be kept clean of leaves at all times. View basket through “See
Through Lid” to inspect for leaves and debris.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer
baskets regularly.
NOTE
It is important that the lid 0-ring be kept clean and well lubricated. We recommend a silicone-base lubricant for best results.

Rev. E-englsh 4-13-04 3 P/N 99330000
To Clean:
1. Turn off pump.
2. Remove lid by unscrewing (counter-clockwise rotation).
3. Remove the plastic basket and empty debris.
4. Replace the basket, fill with water, replace lid securely to prevent air from entering. Do not use tools.
5. Open air relief valve on top of filter.
6. Stand clear of filter. Turn on pump.
7. Close air relief valve when a steady stream of water comes out of the air relief valve.
If pump is installed below water level of pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on
pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint
pot basket at least twice 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 could result in a costly repair bill.
DO NOT run pump dry. If pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leak-
ing. In the event this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced.
ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool (half way up skimmer opening). If the water level falls
below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the
pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure,
resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal.
B. Priming The Pump
1. Turn off pump.
2. Remove lid by unscrewing (counter-clockwise rotation).
3. Fill pot with water at least to the level of the suction line.
4. Make sure the O-ring is in place.
5. Tighten by hand.
6. Open air relief valve on top of filter.
7. Stand clear of filter. Turn on pump.
8. The pump will now prime, with the priming time depending upon the suction lift, and the horizontal
distance of the suction piping.
9. Close air relief valve when a steady stream of water comes out of the air relief valve.
C. Electric Motor
The electric motor should be protected from foreign matter, splashing pool water, deck hosing and the weather.
Any enclosure should be well ventilated to prevent motor from overheating. Whenever a motor has become wet,
let it dry before running it. If a motor has been damaged by water or dirt, it voids the motor guarantee.
D. The Shaft Seal
The shaft seal consists primarily of two parts, a rotating ceramic seal and a spring-loaded carbon seal.

CAUTION
The highly polished and lapped faces of the seal are easily damaged. Handle the seal with care.

P/N 99330000 4 Rev. E-englsh 4-13-04
This centrifugal pump requires little or no service other than reasonable care. Occasionally, however, a shaft
seal becomes damaged and must be replaced.
E. Protect Motor Against Heat
1. Shade the motor from the sun.
2. Provide ample cross ventilation.
F. Protect Motor Against Dirt
1. Keep motor, motor vents, and surrounding area clean.
2. Avoid sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while it’s running.
3. Avoid storing (or spilling) pool chemicals near the motor.
G. Protect Motor Against Moisture
1. Provide protection from rain, snow, lawn sprinklers, etc.
2. Locate motor on a slight elevation so water will not run or puddle nearby.
3. Avoid spilling or dripping liquid chemicals on or near motor.
4. Avoid splashing water near the motor.
5. Do not wrap motor with plastic or other air-tight materials.
(Exception: The motor may be covered during a storm, when hosing, winter storage, etc.; never when
motor is running or expected to be running).
NOTE
When replacing motor, be certain that motor support (part number 39201300) is correctly turned and positioned to support type of
motor being installed.

CAUTION
In mild climate area - when temporary freezing conditions may occur, run your filtering equipment all night to prevent freezing.
SECTION III. TROUBLESHOOTING
System Problem Cause Remedy
Failure to Pump 1. Pump will not prime - too much air. Check suction piping and valve glands on any
suction gate valves. Secure lid on pump strainer
pot and make sure lid gasket is in place. Check
water level to make sure skimmer is not drawing air.
2. Pump will not prime - too little water. Make sure suction lines, pump strainer, and pump
volute are full of water. Make sure valve on
suction line is working and open (some systems
do not have valves). Check water level to make
sure water is available through skimmer.
3. Pump strainer clogged. Clean pump strainer pot.
4. Pump strainer gasket defective. Replace gasket.
Reduced Capacity and/or Head 1. Air pockets or leaks in suction line. Check suction piping and valve glands on any
suction gate valves. Secure lid on pump strainer
pot and make sure lid gasket is in place. Check
water level to make sure skimmer is not drawing air.
2. Clogged impeller. Remove, clean and adjust.
3. Pump strainer clogged. Clean suction trap.
