4. 5. 6. 7. DANGER：Risk of hazardous pressure. Stand clear of pump and filter during start-up. Pool and spa circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover filter lid and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death.
caution when installing and programming to limit the pump's performance potential with old or questionable equipment. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 14.
PACKAGE CONTENTS Part A B C D Description Pump Union Nut Union Adapter O-ring QTY 1 2 2 2 MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED) Additional items needed QTY Teflon tape As needed Rigid pipe As needed Ball valve As needed Union As needed Elbow As needed Adapter 2 Tee As needed PVC cement 1 IAPMO Certified Anti-entrapment Cover As needed SPECIFICATIONS Power supply 230V, 60 Hz., 15 Amp Circuit Liquid temp. range 32 to 100°F (0- 38°C) Discharge size 1-1/2 in.
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. WARNING: Risk of fire and burns. Can cause severe injury, property damage or death. 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.
Suction Outlets per Pump 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 3 ft. apart. The system must be built so that it cannot operate with the pump drawing water from only one main drain. There must be at least two main drains connected to the pump whenever it is running.
WARNING: Risk of explosion. Do not ground to a gas supply line. Voltage Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 10% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company. Grounding/Bonding Install, ground, bond and wire motor according to local or National Electrical Code requirements. Permanently ground motor.
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Table I gives correct wire and circuit breaker sizes for the pump alone. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to pump amp load before figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes. (If unsure how to do this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician.) Use the load circuit breaker as the master on-off switch.
Priming Pump Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system; see the filter owner’s manual. In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime itself when suction and discharge valves are opened. If pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and remove trap cover; fill trap and pump with water. Do not lubricate the trap cover O-ring. The original equipment O-ring contains a permanent internal lubricant.
5. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered. Startup For Winterized Equipment 1. Remove any temporary weather protection placed around system for shut down. 2. Follow filter manufacturer’s instructions for reactivation of the filter. 3. Inspect all electrical wiring for damage or deterioration over the shut-down period. Have a qualified service man repair wiring as needed. 4. Inspect and tighten all water tight connections. 5. Open all valves in suction and return piping. 6.
Mechanical seal i 10. Clean seal cavity in seal plate and clean motor shaft. Pump Reassembly/Installing New Seal 1. Ceramic seat must be clean and free of dirt, grease, dust, etc. Wet outer edge with small amount of liquid detergent; press ceramic seat into seal plate cavity firmly and squarely with finger pressure. 2. If ceramic seat will not locate properly, remove it, place face up on bench and reclean cavity. Ceramic seat should now locate. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Disconnect power before working on pump or motor. Read and understand safety and operating instructions in this manual before doing any work on pump! Only qualified personnel should electrically test pump motor! Problem Possible Cause The suction piping leaks or there is no prime. The pump will not prime. The water level is below the suction pipe inlet. There is a clogged pipe, trap, impeller, or there is a worn impeller.
