Routine Maintenance

Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through
the clear pump lid. Remove any debris, because as
debris accumulates, it will begin to block the flow
of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean to
improve the performance of the pump.
1. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below the water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent a backflow of water.
2. Turn the lid's locking ring counter-clockwise
until 'START' aligns with the ports. (You may
use a tool for leverage to open the lid, but never
to tighten the lid when closing it.) Carefully
remove the lid.
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be
improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could
result in pump damage.
3. Lift the basket out of the pump.
4. Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean
the basket, making sure all the holes are open.
Using a garden hose, spray the basket from the
outside to help clear the holes. Use your hands
to remove any remaining debris.
5. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning
the opening with the suction pipe. If aligned
properly, the basket will drop easily into place.
Do not force into place.
6. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris
around the lid o-ring seat, as this will cause air
to leak into the system. Clean the lid o-ring and
place it on the lid.
7. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal.
Do not use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-
tighten only.
8. Verify that all valves have been returned to the
proper position for normal operation.
9. Open the pressure release valve on the filter, and
make sure it is clean and ready for operation.
10. Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the
air has been evacuated from the filter, close the
pressure release valve.

The pump must be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to
freeze will cause severe damage and may void the
warranty.
Do not use antifreeze solutions in the pool,
spa, or hot tub systems! Antifreeze is highly toxic
and may damage the circulation system. The only
exception to this is Propylene Glycol. For more
information see your local pool/spa supply store or
contact a qualified swimming pool service com-
pany.

Winterizing the Pump

CAUTION
CAUTION
Drain all water from the pump, system
equipment, and piping.
Remove the two drain plugs. Store the drain
plugs in a safe location and reinstall them
when the cold weather season is over. Do not
lose the o-rings. (Drain Plug with O-ring Set,
R0446000)
Keep the motor covered and dry.
Covering the pump with plastic will create
condensation, and this moisture will damage the
pump. The best way to protect your pump is to
have a qualified service technician or electrician
properly disconnect the electrical wiring at the
switch or junction box. Once the power is removed,
the two unions can be loosened and the pump
stored indoors. For safety, and to prevent entry of
contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal box
covers.
When the system is reopened for operation,
make sure all piping, valves, wiring, and
equipment are in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. Pay close
attention to the filter and electrical connections.
The pump must be primed prior to starting; refer
to Section 4.1, Start-up.
