OWNER’S MANUAL

Swimming Pool Pump

READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY

BEFORE USING THE SPECK PUMP

Important Notice: 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: This product must be installed and serviced by a qualiﬁed pool professional, and must conform to all

national, state, and local codes.

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. Call

(800) 223-8538 or visit www.usa.speck-pumps.com for additional copies of these instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL

INSTRUCTIONS.

7. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit

that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter

(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer

and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the

GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt

power. Push the reset button. Power should be

restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner,

the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to

the pump without the test button being pushed, a

ground current is ﬂowing, indicating the possibility of

an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the

pump and have the problem corrected by a qualiﬁed

service representative before using.

8. TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, A copper

bonding connector (8 AWG) is provided for bonding 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 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.

NOTE: To installer and/or operator of the Speck

Swimming Pool Pump; the manufacturer’s warranty

will be voided if the pump is improperly installed and/

or operated.

9. SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS!

2. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, DO NOT

permit children to use this product unless they are

closely supervised at all times.

3. WARNING - Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only

to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualiﬁed electrician if you

cannot verify that a circuit is protected by a GFCI.

4. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock,

replace any damaged cord immediately.

5. DO NOT install within an outer enclosure or beneath

the skirt of a hot tub or spa.

6. 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 is capable of being readily disassembled for

storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

When installing and using this electrical equipment,

basic safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

2 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 4 - R e v . 0 7 1 7 - B A D U E co M 2 / S 9 0

SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

1/1 LOCATION

1. Locate the pump as close to the pool as practical. Consult

local codes for minimum distance between pool and pump.

2. The piping should be as direct and free from turns or

bends as possible, as elbows and other ﬁttings greatly

increase friction losses.

3. Place pump on a solid foundation which provides a rigid

and vibration-free support so that it is readily accessible for

service and maintenance.

4. Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected

from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. (rain,

sprinklers, etc.)

5. Protect the pump against ﬂooding and excess moisture,

prevent foreign objects from clogging air circulation around

motor. All motors generate heat that must be removed by

providing proper ventilation.

6. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable vapors

or liquids in the vicinity of this pump. DO NOT store pool

chemicals near the pump.

7. DO NOT remove any safety alert labels such as DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION. Keep safety labels in good

condition and replace missing or damaged labels.

8. Provide access for future services by leaving a clear area

around the pump. Allow plenty of space above the pump to

remove lid and basket for cleaning.

1/2 INSTALLATION

1. When connecting pipework to pump with threaded ports

it is recommended that thread seal tape be used. If the

suction pipe is not sealed correctly, the pump will not prime

properly and will pump small volumes of water or none at

all.

2. When installing the pump, care should be taken to

see that the suction line is below water level to a point

immediately beneath and the pump to ensure quick priming

via a ﬂooded suction line. The height between the pump

and the water level should not be more than ﬁve (5) feet.

3. Suction and discharge line should be independently

supported at a point near the pump to avoid strains being

placed on the pump.

4. It is recommended to install a gate check valve in both

the suction and discharge line in the event that the pump

must be removed for servicing.

5. Before starting the pump for the ﬁrst time, remove the

see-through lid. (Turn lid ring counterclockwise to remove.)

Fill strainer tank with water until it is level with the suction

inlet. Replace lid with locking ring. Hand-tighten the lid to

make an air-tight seal. DO NOT use any tools to tighten

the lid.

6. When installing and using the motor, basic safety

precautions should be done by a licensed electrician in

accordance with local codes. Be certain that the motor

frame is grounded. Motor name plate has voltage, phase,

ampere draw and other motor information as well as wiring

connection instructions.

BONDING: As required by National Electrical Code Article

680-22, the pump motor must be electrically bonded to

the pool structure (reinforced bars, etc.) by a solid copper

conductor not smaller than #8 AWG (8.4 mm2) wire via the

external copper bonding lug on the pump motor.

GROUNDING: Permanently ground the pump motor using

a conductor of appropriate size. Connect to the #10 green

headed ground screw provided inside the motor terminal

box,

For more information about the motor operation refer to

the motor manual (refer to page 9).

NOTE: DO NOT connect to electric power supply until the

unit is permanently grounded

1/3 MAINTENANCE

The pump requires little or no service other than reasonable

care and periodic cleaning of the strainer basket. DO NOT

strike basket to clean. When cleaning the basket inspect

the lid o-ring for damage and replace if necessary.

NOTE: It is normal for a few drops of water to escape from

the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially

true during the break-in period.

The mechanical seal may come worn and/or loose during the

course of time, depending on the running time and water

quality. If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical

seal should be ﬁtted. After long periods of NOT operational

(seasonal storage, etc.), the pump must be checked for ease

of rotation while it is switched o.

WARNING: Before servicing the pump, switch o the

circuit breakers at the power source. Severe personal injury

or death may occur if the pump starts while your hand is

inside the pump.

SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE - Continued

1/3 MAINTENANCE - continued

Place a screwdriver, allen wrench or appropriate tool in the

end of the motor shaft and turn it clockwise. OR Remove

the fan cover and turn the fan in a clockwise direction

manually. This may require removal of the cover at the rear

of the motor or small circular cap at the rear center of the

motor.

To Replace the Mechanical Seal

To replace the mechanical seal, remove the eight (8)

screws holding the casing to the ﬂange. Slide the motor

part including the seal housing out. Remove impeller by

turning it counter-clockwise when facing it, while holding

the motor shaft with a wrench or screwdriver at rear end

of motor. Pull the impeller from the motor shaft noting the

position of the seal. Remove the seal from the impeller

shaft. To re-assemble, reverse the process. Use only water

as a lubricant to install both sides of the seal. NO NOT use

grease or lube to install seal. It will damage the seal and

cause failure. Make sure both sides of the seal (ceramic and

spring portion) are clean. Gently wipe polished faces with

soft and dry cotton cloth. Surfaces can easily be damaged

by dirt and scratching. (Use a drop of loc-tite to secure the

impeller nut.)

1/4 WINTERIZING

CAUTION: The pump must be protected when freezing

temperatures are expected.

1/4 WINTERIZING - continued

CAUTION: Allowing the pump to freeze will cause severe

damage and void the warranty.

There are two options when winterizing the pump:

Option 1:

Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and

piping. Remove drain plugs. DO NOT replace plugs. Store

the plugs in the empty strainer basket for winter. Keep the

motor covered and dry.

Option 2:

Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and

piping. 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 check and primed prior to start.

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.
