INSTALLATION PUMP LOCATION WATER LINE PUMP WITH STRAINER DRAIN VALVE POOL SUCTION POOL RETURN BALL VALVE OUTLET VALVE Locate the system below the pool water line, for best pump performance. Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and national codes. The field supplied base or pad must be level. Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from the weather.
INSTALLATION Fasten pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. We recommend a minimum clearance around the pad of 18” to allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping. PLUMBING Installing union connections at the suction and outlet ports is recommended, to facilitate servicing of pump and to allow for indoor storage during the winter months. Use Teflon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components.
START-UP AND OPERATION PUMP DISCHARGE POSITION Step 1: Remove ALL plumbing attached to pump. Remove pump from base (if applicable). Step 2: Remove strainer housing. Disengage and lift off strainer cover. Remove strainer basket. Lift up on strainer ‘C’ clip and remove. Slide strainer housing forward and remove. Step 3: Press positioning button located on pump housing and rotate discharge port to desired position. Step 4: Assemble the pump by following the above directions in the reverse manner.
OPERATION EXPLOSION HAZARD: Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping. Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty. DO NOT use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in your pool/spa system.
