PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Pool and Spa Pumps (Non SVRS Pumps)
(Pentair Water Pool and Spa®, Sta-Rite®, and Pentair Pool Products®)
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS ANDWARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY OR DEATH. THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED ONLY BY A
QUALIFIED POOL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL. INSTALLERS, POOL OPERATORS AND
OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER’S
MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS PUMP. THESE WARNINGS AND THE OWNER’S MANUAL
MUST BE LEFT WITH THE POOL OWNER.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL
SUCTION OUTLETS!
THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A STRONG VACUUM AT
THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR POOL OR SPA. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG
THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROX-
IMITY TO A POOL OR SPA DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE.
READ AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE
MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT,
BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH.
The suction at a pool or spa drain or outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling.
This hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater. This
hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater.
This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the
pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool
(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe
intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening
of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not
properly secured.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL
AND LOCAL CODES FOR SWIMMING POOLS, SPAS AND HOT TUBS, INCLUDING NSPI STANDARDS AND
CPSC GUIDELINES.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
• Pools and spas should utilize a minimum of two drains per pump.
• A properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment
suction cover must be used for each drain.
• Each suction cover must be installed at least three (3’) feet apart, as measured from the
nearest point to nearest point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or
spa immediately, shut off the pump, post a notice and keep the pool or spa closed until
an appropriate certified cover is properly installed.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure
to sunlight, pool chemicals and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction cover, pool drain or
outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets.
A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the pool pump and spa jet pump must be in an
easily accessible, obvious place near the pool or spa. Make sure bathers know where it is and
how to use it in case of emergency.

IntelliPro®Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates new requirements for owners and
operators of commercial swimming pools and spas.
Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December 19, 2008, shall utilize:
(A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI
A112.19.8a Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either:
(i) A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 Manufactured Safety Vacuum
Release systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading
Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F2387 Standard Specification for Manufactured Safety Vacuum
Release Systems (SVRS) for Swimming pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or
(ii) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or
(iii) An automatic pump shut-off system.
Commercial pools and spas constructed prior to December 19, 2008, with a single submerged suction outlet
shall use a suction outlet cover that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a and either:
(A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or
(B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or
(C) An automatic pump shut-off system, or
(D) Disabled submerged outlets, or
(E) Suction outlets shall be reconfigured into return inlets.
Pentair Water Pool and Spa®
PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Pool and Spa Pumps (Non SVRS Pumps)
(Pentair Water Pool and Spa®, Sta-Rite®, and Pentair Pool Products®)
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START-UP
Pool and spa circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking
ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air
can cause the pump housing cover filter lid and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal
injury or death. Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand
clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing pool and spa equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to
ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to the pump.
IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in the
system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system valves in the “open”
position to allow water to flow freely from the pool and spa back to the pool or spa. Stand clear of all pool and
spa equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the
valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than
the pre-service condition.

Pentair Water Pool and Spa®
PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Pool and Spa Pumps (Non SVRS Pumps)
(Pentair Water Pool and Spa®, Sta-Rite®, and Pentair Pool Products®)
General Installation Information
• All work must be performed by a qualified pool professional, and must conform to all national,
state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore some
instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models are intended for use in swimming
pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific
application and properly installed.
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, fire, flooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property
damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.
Thepump canproduce high levelsof suction withinthe suctionside of theplumbing system.
These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close proximity of
thesuction openings.Aperson can be seriously injured bythishigh 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.
General Warnings
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 the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This 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 inter-
rupt 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 representa-
tive before using.
This pump is for use with permanent swimming 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 disassem-
bled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
Electrical controls such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. should be
properly installed to allow the operation (start-up, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or
filter without requiring the user to place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump
strainer lid or filter lid. Such installation should allow the user to stand clear of the filter and
pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system.
