WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a person comes in close proximity to an open pool or spa drain or if a drain cover is loose, cracked, broken or missing. Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the pump or pumps.

▲ WARNING! SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD Increasing pump size will increase flow. When in doubt, consult your pool and spa professional. Never use a pool or spa that has a missing or broken suction outlet cover. Using a pool or spa with a missing or broken suction outlet cover can result in hair or body entrapment which can cause severe bodily injury or death.
