Refer to product dataplate(s) for additional operating instruction and specifications. Inspection Examine the equipment when received. Notify your dealer or carrier of any damage or missing parts. Verify that equipment is of size and model specified. Important Safety Instructions When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precations should always be followed, including the following: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. WARNING – To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. 3. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit- interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI. 4. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. 5. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately. should be on a hard, level surface. Give consideration to: 6. WARNING – (For cord & plug connected units). To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electrical supply; provide a properly located outlet. 7. CAUTION – (For pumps with a 25 ft. (7.62m cord). This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. 8. CAUTION – (For pumps with/without 3ft. (.91m cord). 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 constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. 9. WARNING – (For hot tub and spa pumps). Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of the hot tub or spa, unless so marked. 10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Installation Location Locate pump as close to pool/spa as possible, preferably in a dry, well ventilated area away from direct sunlight. It should be on a hard, level surface. Give consideration to: the pump discharge. The valves are essential for pump 1. Drainage – away from pump. 2. Ventilation of pump motor. 3. Access for future servicing and winterizing. 4. Protection from the elements. Pumps without strainer bodies are designed for flooded suction (all suction fittings and suction piping below water level) and will not self-prime. Consequently, the pump must be installed at an elevation that is below water level when pool or spa is filled; however, if suction line valves are installed, the pump may be closed for priming. Keep vertical distance to a minimum if you choose to mount pump above water level. Pumps with strainer bodies are self-priming but should be mounted as close to the water level as possible or below for ease in priming. General Plumbing FOR SOLVENT WELD CONNECTION Rigid or flexible PVC pipe can be used. Pipe ends should be clean and free of any flash cause by the cutting operation. Be sure that the proper adhesive is used on the type of pipe specified. Recommended Adhesives – These are examples only and are not intended to restrict brands. PVC – PVC Joint PVC – PVC Joint Uni-Weld Pool-Tite 2000 Uni-Weld Pool-Tite 2000 Suregard Flex 20 Suregard Weld-All No. 5 IPS Weld-On 705 IPS Weld-On 794 Note: A primer will assure that adhesive joints are superior. Suregard P-3000 has a purple tracer to qualify in areas where codes specify a primer must be used. Caution: We recommend that you consider climatic conditions when applying adhesives. Certain atmospheric situations, such as high moisture content, make adhesive action of certain glues less effective. Check the manufacturer’s instructions. FOR THREADED CONNECTIONS Use only Teflon tape or equivalent on threaded plumbing connections. Other pipe compounds may damage threads. We do not recommend the use of silicone or petroleum based compounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – HAND TIGHTEN PLUS . TURN IS SUFFICIENT. Pump Plumbing Suction pipe should be as large or larger that discharge pipe. Avoid using suction pipe small that pump connection. Keep the piping as straight and short as possible, and of suitable size. Avoid connecting an elbow directly into the pump inlet (use a length of straight pipe to allow a proper entry for the water). Arrange horizontal runs to slope upward to the pump to prevent high spots that could form air pockets. Support the pipe independently so that it places no str...
