WARNING- The pump can produce high levels of suction within the
suction side of the plumbing system. These high levels of suction can post a risk if a
person comes within close proximity of the suction openings. A person can also be
seriously injured by the high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is
critical that the suction plumbing is installed in accordance with the latest national and
local codes for swimming.
DANGER- SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
This pump produces high levels of suction, thus creating a strong vacuum at the main
drain at the bottom of your swimming pool/spa. This suction is so strong that it can trap
adults and children under water if they come in close proximity to the drain.
The use of unapproved drain covers, or allowing the use of your pool or spa when drain
covers are either missing or
broken, can result in body or
limb entrapment, hair
entanglement, body
entrapment, evisceration,
and/or death.
Hair Entrapment- When the
hair tangles or knots in the
drain cover, trapping the
swimmer underwater. This is
typically associated when the
flow rating of the cover is too
small for the pump(s).
Limb Entrapment- A limb
can be sucked or inserted
into an opening in the drain
PURELINEPOOL.COM TEL: [phone]
3

causing a mechanical bind or swelling of the limbs. This is typically caused when a drain
cover is missing, broken, cracked, or not secured properly.
Body Suction Entrapment- A portion of the body is held against the drain cover,
trapping the swimmer underwater. This typically presents itself when the drain cover is
missing, broken, or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump(s).
Evisceration/Disembowelment- Negative pressure that is applied directly to the
intestines through an unprotected suction outlet or suction outlet cover that is damaged,
broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured.
Mechanical Entrapment- Jewelry, clothes, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or knuckles
can get caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover.
WARNING- Hazardous Pressure- During startup, normal
operation, and after pump shuts off, the pool and spa water circulation system operates
under hazardous pressure. Please stand clear of circulation system during pump
start-up. Before servicing your pool equipment, make sure all systems and pump
controls are in the off position and the filter manual air relief valve is open. Also make
sure all system valves are set in a position that allows water to return to the pool. Do not
change the filter valve position while system pump is running. All suction and discharge
valves must be open when starting the circulation system. Failure to follow safety and
operational instructions could result in damage, severe personal injury, or death.
WARNING- Separation Hazard- Please ensure the strainer cover
is properly secured to the pump housing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation
system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. All
suction and discharge valves must be open when starting the circulation system. Failure
to follow safety and operational instructions could result in damage, severe personal
injury, or death.

Installation Instructions
WARNING- This product should only be installed and serviced by a
qualified professional. Please refer to “General Warnings” for additional safety
information.
Pump Location
Before installing the pump, selecting a proper location for your pump is essential to
prolonging the overall lifespan of your pump. Be sure the pump’s location meets the
following requirements:
1. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. Using short, direct
suction piping returns will reduce friction loss and improve efficiency.
2. Do NOT install the pump more than 10 feet above the water level.
3. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood during the rain.
4. Do NOT install pump in a damp or non-ventilated location
5. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 3 inches so that the motor can
be easily removed for maintenance and repair.
Plumbing
1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size.
2. Piping on the suction size of the pump should be the same or larger than the
return line.
3. All plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned before use.
4. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting past thread stops molded into the
inlet and outlet ports.
5. Do NOT over- tighten fittings or you may cause damage
PURELINEPOOL.COM TEL: [phone]

Fittings and Valves
1. Fittings restrict flow so for better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings (but at
least 2 suction outlets).
2. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association of Plumbing
and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.
3. Use non-entrapping suction fittings or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
4. Install check valves when plumbing parallel with another pump to prevent reverse
rotation of the impeller and motor
Electrical Wiring
WARNING-  All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician and
must conform to all local and national codes and regulations. A solid copper bonding
conductor, not smaller than 8 AWG (8.4 mm) shall be connected from the accessible
wire connector on the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub
structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet
(1.5 m) of the inside walls of a swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, when the motor is
installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
WARNING- The V-Green 165 controller must be wired according to
the locally adopted version of the NEC. A licensed, qualified electrician should complete
the wiring for this product. Failure to comply with this may result in death, serious
personal injury, or property damage.
The controller is designed to operate with 230V rms, single phase power. The V-Green
165 is designed to handle either a bare wire connection or a quick disconnect
connection. The quick disconnect tab is 0.250” and will handle any commonly available
