Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation, operation, and maintenance of Jandy FloPro
(FHP) Series Pumps, Model FHPM. Procedures in this

back cover of this manual.
2.2
Description
Jandy FHP Pumps are designed to meet the
needs of today's more hydraulically demanding pool
equipment. The pump housing, backplate, diffuser,
impeller, and hair-and-lint pot (pump debris filter
basket) are all made from high quality thermoplastic
materials. These materials were chosen for their strength
and corrosion resistance.
The pump is driven by an electric motor directly
attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor
turns, it causes the impeller to turn, which forces water
to flow through the pump. The water flows through the
pump inlet and then into the filter basket. The basket
assembly pre-strains/traps large particles. The water
then enters the center of the pump housing, flows
through the impeller into the diffuser, and then flows
out the pump discharge port.

Plumbing
3.1.1 Preparation
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 bent
base. If you find damage, contact the shipper or
the distributor where the pump was purchased.
2.
Inspect the contents of the carton and verify
that all parts are included. See Section 7.1,
Replacement Parts List.
3.1.2 Pump Location
1.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends installing
the pump within 1 foot above water level. The
pump should not be elevated more than a few feet
above the water level of the pool. A check valve is
recommended on the suction line to the pump.
FloPro Series Pumps Installation and Operation Manual
NOTE Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump
is installed as close as possible to the water
level of the pool.
2.
If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent the back flow of pool water
during any routine or required servicing.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS)
devices are not compatible with installation of check
valves. If the pool has an SVRS device, be sure to
confirm that that it will continue to safely operate when
any check valves are installed.
3.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends that the
pump and other circulation equipment be located
more than 5 feet from the water. Choose a location
that will minimize turns in the piping.
NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a
minimum of 3 meters (approximately 10 feet)
from the water (CSA C22.1).
4.
The pump must be placed on a solid foundation
that will not vibrate. To further reduce the
possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to the
foundation, or place it on a rubber mat.
NOTE Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends bolting
the pump directly to the foundation.
5.
The pump foundation must have adequate drainage
to prevent the motor from getting wet. Protect the
pump from the rain and sun.
6.
Proper ventilation is required for the pump to
operate normally. All motors generate heat that
must be removed by providing proper ventilation.
7.
Provide access for future service by leaving a
clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of space
above the pump to remove the lid and basket for
cleaning.
8.
If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
