INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install Max-E-
Pro
®
High Efficiency Pool and Spa Pump and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable
chemicals.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at
less than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max.
Amb.) listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is
installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must
have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the
temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated
ambient temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free - Non-
combustible. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt
pump to mount.)
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water
level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction
losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
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.
NOTICE: Use thread tape for making all threaded
connections to the pump. Do not use pipe dope; pipe
dope will cause stress cracking in the pump.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections
have molded in thread stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe
in beyond these stops.
Thread Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of thread
tape. Cover entire threaded portion of pipe.
Do not overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump
port!
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap
with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the
connection.
