General Safety Instructions The following guidelines provide information to minimize the risk of injury to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 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.
General Safety Instructions - continued WARNING - Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution Pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electric hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Installation Information Preparation Guide 1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for damage. Open the carton and check the pump for concealed damage, such as cracks, dents, or a broken base. If damage is found, contact the shipper or distributor where the pump was purchased. 2.
Plumbing Installation 1. When connecting pipework to pump with threaded ports, it is recommended that thread seal tape be used. Hard-plumbed pipes must have proper solvent-weld connections. Flexible hose connections must be tightened properly. If the suction line is not sealed correctly, the pump will not prime properly and will pump small volumes of water or none at all. 2.
Electrical Installation - continued 3. Insulate all connections carefully to prevent grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on terminals require extra protection. To prevent the wire nuts from loosening, tape them using suitable, listed (UL, ETL, CSA) electrical insulating tape. For safety, and to prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal box covers.
Pressure Test - continued STEPS: 1. Fill the system with water, using care to eliminate trapped air. 2. Pressurize the system with water to no more than 35 PSI. WARNING: DO NOT pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. Circulation equipment that is not tested properly might fail, which would result in severe injury or property damage.
Start Up Guide - continued Prime Sequence: If full prime has not been achieved after prime cycle (max. 10 minutes), press the “0” button to stop the pump. Refill the pump with water and restart. Allow the pump to run for up to 10 minutes to allow air trapped in the suction line to be purged.
Schedule (SCHE) Menu 1. Enter programing mode by pressing and holding the button for at least three (3) seconds when the pump is in the stopped (OFF) position. Once SCHE begins flashing on the LED display, press the button. 2. After entering the schedule menu, S1 (speed/power level setting 1) flashes on the LED display. Use the buttons ...
Override (OVRD) Menu 1. Enter programing mode by pressing and holding the button for at least three (3) seconds when the pump is in the stopped (OFF) position. 2. Use the buttons to select OVRD. See Figure 8. Press the button to enter the override menu.
Priming (PR) Menu - Continued 4. The priming time now flashes on the LED display. The factory default setting is two (2) minutes. Use the buttons to select the desired priming time between zero (0) and ten (10) minutes, in 1-minute increments. Press the button to save and exit the priming and programming menus.
Normal Operation - continued To stop the pump at any time, press the “0” button. The pump will come to a stop and the LED display will read OFF. NOTE: If the power is shut off or the pump is stopped using the “0” button, upon restart the pump will run through the programmed priming cycle and then resume normal operation.
Routine Maintenance - continued 8. Verify that all valves have been returned to the proper position for normal operation. Turn ON the power to the pump. NOTE: It is normal for a few drops of water to escape from the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially true during the break-in period.
Troubleshooting Controller Errors WARNING: The pump must be serviced by a professional service technician qualified in pool/spa installation. The following procedures must be followed exactly. Improper installation and/or operation can create dangerous electrical hazards, which can cause high voltage to run through the electrical system. This can cause property damage, serious personal injury, and/ or death.
General Pump Troubleshooting Table 3.0 Problem Possible Cause Solution 1. Pump will not prime. A. Suction air leak Make sure see-through lid and o-rings are clean and properly positioned. Hand tighten see- through lid. Tighten all pipes and fittings on suction side of pump.
