Plumbing
1. Use PTFE tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings 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 PTFE tape to plastic threads, wrap
the entire threaded portion of the male fitting with one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as you face the open end of the fitting,
beginning at the end of the fitting. The pump suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector
fitting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then use a tool to engage
fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using PTFE tape as friction is reduced considerably; do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause
damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old PTFE tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of PTFE tape, and re-install con-
nector.
2. Fittings (elbows, tees, valves, etc.) restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap.
Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.
Electrical
WARNING – All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC).
WARNING – Ground and bond pump before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond pump can cause serious
or fatal electrical shock hazard. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to pump before
working on electrical connections. Fire Hazard - match supply voltage to pump nameplate voltage. Insure that the electrical supply available agrees
with the pump’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is adequate for the amps rating and distance from the power source. Use copper
conductors only.
Electrical Specs
Refer to motor nameplate for voltage and current ratings. Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use. Connect pump to an appropriately
sized/rated branch circuit protector in accordance with local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). A disconnecting means located
at least 5 ft. from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or hot tub must be provided.
Voltage
Voltage at pump MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below nameplate rated voltage, or components may overheat, causing overload tripping
and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when pump is running at full load, consult the power
company.
Grounding and Bonding
1. Install, ground, bond, and wire pump in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.
2. Permanently ground pump. Use green ground terminal provided under access plate; use size and type wire required by code. Connect ground
terminal to electrical service ground.
3. Bond pump 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 or shorted. Reference NEC codes
for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring procedures.
4. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
)
[No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal
parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside
walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
Input Power
WARNING – All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and National Electric Code (NEC).
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. Connect pump to an appropriately sized/rated branch circuit protector in accordance with local
codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Use the circuit breaker as the master On-Off switch.
