This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
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). Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than the discharge line diameter.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. Do NOT install pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
Install pump on a firm, level base or pad to meet all local and national codes. Fasten pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The base MUST be solid, level, rigid, and vibration free.
Pump mount must:

[63] | [317] | [2.44] | [90] | [698] | [2.44] |
NOTE — No system should allow any higher than 8-ft/sec [2.44 meters/sec] water velocity. It is recommended that a minimum length of piping, equivalent to 10 pipe diameters, be used between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings.
Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/components of a swimming pool filtration system operate under pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in injury and/or property damage.
Use Teflon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE - Do NOT use Plumber's Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic components. When applying Teflon tape to plastic threads, wrap the 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 port shave 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 1/2" turns. Use care when using Teflon tape as friction is reduced considerably; do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old Teflon tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of Teflon tape, and re-install connector.
Fittings restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings (but at least two suction outlets). Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use a non-entrapping suction fitting in pool (multiple drains) or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician and must conform to all local and national codes and regulations.
Ground and bond motor before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond pump motor can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
DO NOT ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on electrical connections.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping indicates electrical problem. If GFCI trips and won't reset, consult electrician to inspect and repair electrical system.
Fire Hazard. Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the motor's voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is adequate for the HP (kW) rating and distance from the power source. NOTE - All electrical wiring MUST be performed by a licensed electrician, and MUST conform to local codes and NEC regulations. Use copper conductors only.

Voltage at motor MUST NOT be 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 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full Load, consult Power Company.
Install, ground, bond, and wire motor in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.
Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use size and type wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
Bond motor to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a continuous wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could potentially cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring procedures.
Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG(8.4mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
A licensed electrician must do all wiring.
Pump MUST be permanently connected to 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.
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. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufacturer's instructions. Pump MUST be permanently connected to GFCI. In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary,
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.
Starting/Priming the Pump:
Pumps with single speed motors are self priming to 8 ft. and pumps with 2 speed motors are self priming to 8 ft. on high speed only. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump.
Return to filter to close filter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water(not air or air and water) is discharged from valve. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
ATTENTION
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and voids warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
ATTENTION
Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty.
ATTENTION
Before removing strainer cover:
Before re-starting pump, see "Starting/Priming the Pump" instructions.
ATTENTION
Wait five (5) seconds before re-starting pump. Failure to do so may cause reverse rotation of motor and consequent serious pump damage.
Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which may take up to five (5) minutes. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within five minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.
Separation Hazard. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure(below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
ATTENTION
Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
ATTENTION
Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long time (see instructions below).
Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap pump with plastic fitm or bags.
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.

Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. Stand clear or circulation system equipment during pump start up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover, and/or filter housing and clamp due to pressure in the system which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system. all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must beset in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump, fill only open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.
Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, filters manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body.
Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations, and the Nationaf Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious properly damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to all electrical equipment before working on electrical connections.
Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) [No. 6 AWG(13.3mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub and metal piping(except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub
Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general wiring procedures.
Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a blanch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
Risk of Electric Shock. The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-mult circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
This pump is intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may 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 is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
