Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing
temperatures or when storing pump for a long time (see instruction below).
Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do not cover pump with
plastic.
For outdoor/unprotected installations:
1. Enclose entire system in a weatherproof enclosure.
2. To avoid condensation/corrosion damage, allow ventilation; do not
wrap system in plastic.
3. Use a 40% propylene glycol/60% water solution to protect pump
to -50 degrees F.
Draining Pump:
1. Pump down water level below all inlets to the pool.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power
to motor before draining pump.
2. Cap inlet piping after draining to keep water out of the pipes.
3. To prevent pump from freezing, remove lowest drain plug (Key No. 9,
Page 12) and drain the pump body. Clean pump thoroughly.
4. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.
Startup For Winter Equipment
