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 con-
structed so that it may be readily disassembled for stor-
age and reassembled to its original integrity.
See Page 13 for Union Kits.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable liquids.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less
than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.)
listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is installed in
an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have ade-
quate ventilation and air circulation to keep the tempera-
ture in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated ambient
temperature whenever the pump is running.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibra-
tion and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount.)

POOL PUMP SUCTION
REQUIREMENTS
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water
level as possible. Pump will not lift water more than
10' (3m).
Pump suction is haz-
ardous and can trap and
drown or disembowel
bathers. Do not use or oper-
ate swimming pools, spas, or
hot tubs if a suction outlet
cover is missing, broken, or
loose. Follow the guidelines
below for a pump installation
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction
losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at
high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow
leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let
it cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on it.
Hazardous suction.
which minimizes risk to users
of pools, spas, and hot tubs.
Can trap hair or
body parts, causing
severe injury
or death.
Entrapment Protection
The pump suction system
must provide protection
against the hazard of
NOTICE: When connecting threaded pipe directly to pump,
use Teflon® tape or Plasto-Joint Stik® to seal connections. Do
not use pipe dope; pipe dope causes cracking in some plas-
tics and may damage components in piping system.
Do not block
suction.
suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement.
When connecting pipe to pump with union half, use
Teflon® tape or Plasto-Joint Stik® between pipe and union
adapter. Union collar to pump should be assembled dry
and hand-tight.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections have
molded in thread stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe in be-
yond these stops.
Suction Outlet Covers
All suction outlet covers must be maintained. They must
be replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.
See Page 6 for outlet cover certification requirements.
All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fas-
tened covers in place.
Teflon® Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Suction Outlets Per Pump (Figure 3, Page 6)
Provide at least two hydraulically balanced main drains,
with covers, as suction outlets for each circulating pump
suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction outlets)
on any one suction line must be at least three feet apart.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of Teflon®
tape. Cover entire threaded portion of pipe.
Do not overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump port!
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap
with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the
connection.
The system must be built so that it cannot operate with
the pump drawing water from only one main drain (that
is, there must be at least two main drains connected to
the pump whenever it is running – see Figure 3, Page 6).
However, if two main drains run into a single suction
line, the single suction line may be equipped with a valve
which will shut off both main drains from the pump (see
Figure 3).
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump!
Piping:
Use at least 2" (51mm) pipe. Increase size if a long run is
needed.
To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and
discharge pipes independently. Place these supports near
the pump.
More than one pump can be connected to a single suc-
tion line as long as the requirements above are met.
To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start
all piping at the pump and run pipe away from the pump.
To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward
toward the pump.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for
service, all flooded suction systems must have gate valves
in suction and discharge pipes.

Water Velocity
ELECTRICAL
The maximum water velocity through the suction fitting
or cover for any suction outlet must not exceed 1.5 feet
per second unless the outlet complies with the latest
ANSI/ASME Specification for Suction Fittings For Use in
Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub
Applications. In any case, do not exceed the suction fit-
ting’s maximum designed flow rate.
Ground motor before
connecting to electrical
power supply. Failure to

vere or fatal electrical shock
hazard.
Do not ground to a gas
supply line.
If 100% of the pump’s flow comes from the main drain
system, the maximum water velocity in the pump suction
hydraulic system must be six feet per second or less even
if one main drain (suction outlet) is completely blocked.
The flow through the remaining main drain(s) must com-
ply with the latest ANSI/ASME Specification for Suction
Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and
Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.

OPERATION
NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may
damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill pump
with water before starting motor.
NOTICE: Tighten trap cover handle ring by hand only
(no wrenches)! See Figure 1, Page 4.
Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on
vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suc-
tion piping.
Before removing trap cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
If pump does not prime, make sure that all valves are open,
suction pipe end is under water, pump is not trying to lift
water more than 10' (3m), and that there are no leaks in
suction pipe. See Troubleshooting Guide, Page 12.
2. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure
has been released before removing trap cover.
Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance needed is
inspection/cleaning of trap basket. Debris or trash that
collects in basket will choke off water flow through the
pump. Follow instructions below to clean trap:
Do not block pump suc-
tion. To do so with
body may cause severe or
fatal injury. Small children

6. Prime pump (see priming instructions).
Storage/Winterizing
NOTICE: Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump
and void warranty!
Priming Pump
Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system;
see the filter owner’s manual.
NOTICE: Do not use anti-freeze solutions (except propy-
lene glycol) in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol,
“RV antifreeze”, is non-toxic and will not damage plastic
system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic
and may damage plastic components in the system.
In a flooded suction system (water source higher than
pump), pump will prime itself when suction and dis-
charge valves are opened.
If pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and
remove trap cover; fill trap and pump with water.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting
freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long
time (see instructions below).
Clean and inspect O-Ring; reinstall on trap groove.
Do not lubricate the trap cover O-Ring. The original
equipment O-Ring contains a permanent internal lubri-
cant.
Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do not cover
pump with plastic.
NOTICE: If you replace the O-Ring with a non-internally
lubricated O-Ring, you may need to apply a silicone
based lubricant.
