OPERATION
NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing
leakage and flooding! Fill pump with water before starting motor.
If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released
before opening pump or piping!
Do not block pump suction! To do so with body may cause severe or
fatal injury. Small children using pool must ALWAYS have close adult
supervision!
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high
temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or
foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when
handling the motor, let it cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on it.
An automatic internal cutoff switch protects the motor from heat damage
during operation.
Priming Pump:
Prime pump by filling both pump body and suction pipe completely with
water through priming tee (see Figure 1).
Replace priming plug and start pump.
If water is not pumped immediately, air has not been completely purged
from pump or suction line. Stop pump and reprime.
CAUTION: Do not run pump dry or under loss of prime conditions as this
may damage seal.
If pump receives flow from another supply pump for pressure boosting
application, make sure primary supply pump is operating before starting
booster pump.
Storage/Winterizing:
Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system; see the filter
owner’s manual.
NOTICE: Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump and void warranty!
NOTICE: Do not use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) 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.
