WIRING

WARNING: 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 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.

1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned o

before wiring motor.

2. Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor

voltage (230v or 115v). If they do not match the motor will

burn up.

3. Choose a wire size from Chart 1. When in doubt use a

heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will

allow the motor to run cooler and more ecient.

4. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or

touch when connected to the terminal board.

5. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.

6. Permanently ground the motor using the correct wire size

and type specied by National Electrical Code. Make sure

the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground.

7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the

National Electrical Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger

copper conductor. Run a wire from the brass external

bonding clamp to the pool bonding structure.

8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no

other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.

NOTE: If the pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening

hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating.

PUMP STRAINER BASKET

WARNING: DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the

strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain

scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal

injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then with

extreme caution.

WARNING: THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM (e.g.

LOCK RING, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED.

PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BLOW OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY

DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This unit, sometimes referred to as the “Hair and Lint Pot”, is the unit in front of the volute. The lint pot must be installed using only teon tape on

the threads. Do not use liquid chemical thread sealant. The basket inside the chamber must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View

basket through the “See Through Lid” to inspect for leaves and debris. Regardless of the length of time between lter cleaning, it is most important

to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the eciency of the lter and heater and also put an

abnormal stress on the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the pump and ﬁlter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer

and skimmer baskets regularly.

1. Turn o motor.

2. Relieve pressure in the system.

3. Turn the lid in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops.

4. Lift lid and remove basket.

5. Put the debris from the basket into the trash and rinse out the

basket. If the basket is cracked, it should be replaced.

6. Replace the basket and ll the pump pot and volute up to the

inlet port with water.

7. Clean the cover, O-ring and sealing surface of the pump pot.

Grease the O-ring with Teon or silicone.

8. Reinstall the lid (Figure 2).

9. Make sure the lid O-ring is properly placed. Seat the lid then turn

clockwise until hand tight (DO NOT over tighten with tools)

(Figure 3).

10. Turn the power “ON” at the house circuit breaker. Reset the pool

time clock to the correct time.

11. Open the manual air relief valve on top of the lter.

12. Stand clear of the lter. Start the pump.

13. Bleed air from the lter until a steady stream of water comes out.

Close the manual air relief valve.

WINTERIZING CARE OF ELECTRIC MOTOR

If the air temperature drops below 35º F. the water in the pump

can freeze and cause damage. Freeze damage is not warrantable.

To prevent freeze damage follow the procedures listed below.

1. Shut o electrical power for the pump at the house circuit breaker.

2. Drain the water out of the pump case by removing the two drain

plugs from the case. Store the plugs in the pump basket.

3. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow, and ice.

4. Do not wrap the motor in plastic. It will cause condensation and rust

on the inside of the motor.

PROTECT FROM HEAT

1. Shade the motor from the sun.

2. Any enclosure must be well ventilated to prevent overheating.

3. Provide ample cross ventilation.

PROTECT AGAINST DIRT

1. Protect from any foreign matter or splashing water.

2. Do not store (or spill) pool chemicals near the motor.

3. Avoid sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while

it is operating.

4. If a motor has been damaged by dirt it voids the warranty.

PROTECT AGAINST MOISTURE

1. Protect from splashing pool water.

2. Protect from the weather.

3. Protect from lawn sprinklers.

4. If a motor has become wet – let it dry before operating.

Do not allow the pump to operate if it has been ooded.

5. If a motor has been damaged by water it voids the motor warranty.

NOTE: DO NOT wrap motor with plastic or other air tight materials. The motor may be covered during a storm,

for winter storage, etc., but NEVER when operating or expecting operation.
