Grounding And Bonding

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 (8.4 mm
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.
Wiring
WARNING –
Instructions for Electrician:
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.
Start-Up & Operation
Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water
acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal.
ATTENTION –
voids warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
ATTENTION –
chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty.
ATTENTION –
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system using filter manual air relief valve. See filter
owner's manual for more detail.

Voltage

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.

A licensed electrician must do all wiring.
NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and
