Instructions / Assembly

WARNING –
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
Pump Location
Locate pump as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to reduce friction loss. Suction
lines should have continuous slope upward from lowest point in line. Joints must be tight (but not over-tightened).
Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than the discharge line diameter.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly
advised to protect the electrical components from the
weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. Do NOT install pump in a damp or
non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
Pump Mounting
Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and national codes. Fasten pump to base or pad with
screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The base MUST be s
olid, level, rigid,
and vibration free.
Pump mount must:
Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Pipe Sizing Chart
NOTE - It is recommended that a minimum length of piping, equivalent to 10 pipe diameters, be used between the
pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings.
WARNING –
Hazardous Pressure.
Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components of a swimming pool filtration system operate under pressure.
Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in injury
and/or property damage.
Plumbing
Use “Teflon” tape, available at any plumbing or hardware store, to seal threaded connections on molded
plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned before u
se. NOTE - Do NOT use
Plumber’s Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic components. When applying “Teflon” to
plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the male fitting with one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape
clockwise as you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. The pump suction and outlet
ports have molde
d-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force
