WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified
pool serviceman in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper
installation will create an electrical 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.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the
pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users
or others due to electric shock.
WARNING — Water temperature in excess of 38° C (100° F) may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged
immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 37°
C (98.6° F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness, fainting,
and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure to perceive
heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability to exit the spa. 5)
Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
WARNING — The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in
hot tubs and spas.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
WARNING — For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the
occupants and shall be installed at least 1.52 m (5 feet) away, adjacent to, and within sight of
the unit.
WARNING — When setting up flow rates the operator must consider local codes governing turnover as well
as disinfectant feed ratios.
WARNING — Before servicing the system, switch the main power OFF and remove the communication cable
from the pump.
CAUTION — Install the pump a minimum of 1.5 m (5 feet) from the inside wall of the pool and spa.
CAUTION — This pump is for use with permanently installed pools 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. A
storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 5.49 m (18 feet) and a maximum wall
height of 1.07m (42 inches).
CAUTION — For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a
hot tub or spa unless so marked.
CAUTION — IntelliFlo
ensure that all system components are rated to withstand at least 30 meters. Over pressurizing
the system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.
