10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Installation Location
Locatepumpasclosetopool/spa aspossible, preferablyin adry, well ventilatedarea awayfromdirect
sunlight. It should be onahard, levelsurface. Giveconsiderationto:
1. Drainage awayfrompump.
2. Ventilationofpumpmotor.
3.Accessfor futureservicing and winterizing.
4. Protection fromthe elements.
Pumpswithoutstrainerbodiesaredesigned forfloodedsuction(allsuction fittingsand suctionpiping below
water level) andwill notself-prime. Consequently, thepumpmustbe installed at anelevation that isbelowwater
level when pool orspaisfilled;however, if suction linevalvesareinstalled, the pumpmaybeclosedforpriming.
Keep verticaldistancetoaminimumif youchoosetomountpumpabovewater level.
Pumpswithstrainerbodiesareself-primingbut should bemountedasclosetothe water level aspossible or
belowfor easein priming.
General Plumbing
FOR SOLVENTWELD CONNECTION
Rigid or flexible PVC pipecan be used.Pipeendsshouldbe clean and free ofanyflashcausebythe cutting
operation.Besurethat the proper adhesiveisused onthetype ofpipespecified.
Note: Aprimerwill assurethatadhesivejointsaresuperior.SuregardP-3000 hasapurple tracertoqualifyin areas
wherecodesspecifyaprimermustbe used.

Caution: Werecommend thatyou consider climaticconditionswhen applying adhesives. Certainatmospheric
situations,suchashigh moisturecontent, makeadhesiveaction ofcertain glueslesseffective. Check the
manufacturer’sinstructions.
FORTHREADED CONNECTIONS
UseonlyTeflontapeorequivalenton threaded plumbingconnections. Other pipe compoundsmaydamage
threads.Wedonot recommendthe useofsilicone or
petroleumbased compounds.DONOTOVERTIGHTEN HAND TIGHTEN PLUS ½TURN IS SUFFICIENT.
Pump Plumbing
Suction pipe should be aslargeor larger thatdischarge pipe. Avoid using suctionpipesmallthat pump
connection.
Keep thepipingasstraight andshort aspossible, and ofsuitable size.Avoid connectinganelbowdirectlyinto
the pumpinlet (usealengthofstraightpipetoallowaproperentryfor the water). Arrange horizontalrunstoslope
upwardtothepumptoprevent highspotsthatcould formairpockets. Support the pipeindependentlysothat it
placesno strain on the pump.Keep asmuchofthe suction line aspossible belowthe water leveltoreduce priming
time.Installvalvesand unionsin the pumpsuction and return linestofacilitateservicing.Valvesarerecommended
for throttling
maintenanceif the systemisinstalledbelowdecklevel. Suction valvesareessentialfor primingallpumpswithout
strainer bodiesinstalled abovewater level. Pumpswith
strainer bodiesareself-priming, nevertheless,werecommendthe useofcheck valvein thesuctionpipe ator
belowthe water levelifthe suction liftis morethat fivefeetorif thedrysuction ismorethatten feet long. Keep the
valvein thesuction linefullyopen duringoperation.
ElectricalData
Refer toinformation on motor nameplatefoelectricalservicedata.Allmotorsshouldhavefuseddisconnect
switchorcircuitbreaker.Besurewiresizeis sufficientforpumpHPand distancefrompowersource.Wiring should
be done inaccordancewithapplicablecodesbyacompetentelectrician.
We recommend the installationof aground faultcircuit interrupter for maximumsafety.
Pump Start Up
Donot operatepumpuntil it hasbeen primed aswater actstocool and lubricatetheseal. For pumpswithout
strainer bodiesand locaterabovewater, closesuctionline valveandfillpumpwithwater in order toprime.For
pumpswithstrainerbodiesandlocated abovewater,prime byremovingstrainer coverand filling strainer bodywith
water. Pumpslocated belowwater level will selfprimeifallpiping is alsobelowwater level.After pumphasbeen
primed, energizemotor and open allsuction and discharge line valves.It maytakesometimeforpumptoremove
air fromsuction lines.If noflowis observedin fiveminutes, stop the motor andre-prime. Ifthe pumpfails to
operate, checkfor airleaks. Refer to TroubleShootingsection.
After about ten minutesofoperation, checkthereturnfittingsfor airbubbles.Acontinuousflowof air indicates
leaksinsuction line. Locateandcorrectanyleaksimmediately.
CONTROLLINGTHE OUTPUT
Keep the gate valvein the suctionline fullyopenduringoperation.Should itbenecessarytocontroltheoutput,
useavalveinthe returnline.
Caution: Donot retighten strainer Ring-Lokduring operation.
Caution: Donot operatepumpwithclosedsuction ordischarge valves.

Two-Speed Pumps
Two-speed modelsarerecommended in aswimming pool when high speedisneeded for maximumfiltration
at peakperiodsand wheneverturbiditylevelsarehigh.At other times,switchtolowspeed. For backwashing and
vacuuming,high speedisrequired.

Winterizing
Consult your dealer foradvice onwinterizing your
equipment iffreezingtemperaturesoccur inyour
locality. His knowledge ofyourequipmentmakeshim
the bestqualified sourceof information.Followhis
recommendations, and if theseincludedraining the
filtersystem,proceed asfollows:
1.If yoursystemdoesnotcontain afilter,proceedto
step2.
A. Forsand filters: BACKWASH for 3to5minutes
and set dialvalvetoWINTERIZE.
B.Forcartridgefilters:Clean the filterelementand
storein adryplace.
2.Drainsystembyloosening drainplugs(drain plugs
will drain withoutcompletelyremoving the plug from
unit) and/or removing pipecaps.
