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.

Though this product is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from the weather.
caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment. WARNING – Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards: - When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
WARNING – Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or death. Section #2, Installation Instructions 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).
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 molded-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns.

circuit. FlowXtreme 48SM-I & 48SM-II are In Ground Pumps and MUST be permanently connected to an appropriate electrical circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch. Always Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a short circuit to ground and disconnect power before it becomes dangerous to pool users.
Priming Pump CAUTION – All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as filter air relief valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury. Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system. See filter owner’s manual. If water source is higher than the pump, pump will prime itself when suction and outlet valves are opened.
Storing Pump for Winterization WARNING – To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump. Failure to disconnect power may result in serious personal injury or death. • Drain water level below all inlets to the pool. • Remove drain plugs from bottom of strainer body, and remove strainer cover from strainer housing. • Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring system (after power has been turned OFF), and plumbing system.
FlowXtreme 48SM-I & 48SM-II Installation Wiring Circuit Diagrams WARNING – Pumps come pre-wired with a 3 prong grounded plug on a 5’ cord. This cord will be used for some installations, but must be removed for other installations. Wiring Instructions Review the wiring diagrams and Technical Data chart carefully. Connect to your power source as indicated below: • For dual voltage pumps that will be connected to a 115V circuit, use the cord attached and plug into a GFCI protected outlet.
