SUCTION HAZARD. Can cause serious injury or death. Do not use
this pump for wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom
drains, unless pump is connected to at least two (2) functioning suction

The following guidelines provide information for pump installation
that minimizes risk of injury to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs:
Entrapment Protection: The pump suction system must provide
protection against the hazards of suction entrapment.

screw-fastened covers in place. All suction outlet (drain) covers must be
maintained. Drain covers must be listed/certified to the latest published
edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 (ANSI/APSP-16, 2011). They must be
replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.
Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump: Provide at least two (2)
hydraulically-balanced main drains, with covers, as suction for each
circulating pump suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction
outlets) on any one (1) suction line must be at least three (3) feet apart,
center to center.
