Doheny's 6589 - CHAPTER 3: ELECTRICAL; Electrical Safety and Wiring

 •Allow adequate access for servicing pump and
piping.
Pipe Sizing Chart
NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum length
of piping, equivalent to 10 pipe diameters, be used
betweenthepumpsuctioninletandanyplumbingttings.
▲WARNING Hazardous Pressure.
 Pumps,lters,andotherequipment/components
 ofaswimmingpoolltrationsystemoperateunder
pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly
 testedltrationequipmentand/orcomponentsmay
fail resulting in injury and/or property damage.
2. Plumbing: Use Teon tape to seal threaded
connections on molded plastic components. All
 plasticttingsmustbeneworthoroughlycleaned
before use. NOTE: Do NOT use Plumber’s
Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic
components.WhenapplyingTeontapetoplastic
threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the
 malettingwithonetotwolayersoftape.Windthe
tape clockwise as you face the open end of the
 tting,beginningattheendofthetting.Thepump
suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread
stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector
tting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten
 ttingsenoughtopreventleakage.Tightenttingby
 hand and then use a tool to engage tting an
 additional1-1/2turns.UsecarewhenusingTeon
tape as friction is reduced considerably. Do NOT
over-tighten tting or you may cause damage. If
 leaksoccur,removeconnector,cleanoffoldTeon
tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of
 Teontape,andre-installconnector.
3. Fittings:Fittingsrestrictow.Forbetterefciency,
 use the fewest possible ttings (but at least two
 suctionoutlets).Avoidttingsthatcouldcausean
 airtrap.PoolandspattingsMUSTconformtothe
International Association of Plumbing and
 Mechanical Ofcials (IAPMO) standards. Use a
 non-entrapping suction tting in pool (multiple
drains) or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
CHAPTER 3: ELECTRICAL
1. Ground and bond motor before connecting to
electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond
pump motor can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard.
2. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
3. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn
OFF power to motor before working on electrical
connections.
4. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping
indicates electrical problem. If GFCI trips and won’t
reset, consult electrician to inspect and repair
electrical system.
▲WARNING Fire Hazard.
5. Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees
with the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and
 that the wire size is adequate for the H.P. (KW)
rating and distance from the power source.
NOTE: All electrical wiring MUST be performed
by a licensed electrician, and MUST conform
to local codes and NEC regulations. Use copper
conductors only.
6. 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.
7. 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
