WARNING: Blockage of suction ttings can cause
serious or fatal injury due to drowning. To reduce the
risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
5. INSTALLATION
A
WARNING: Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause
serious corrosion to the lter and pump structural
components. Structurally-weakened components can
cause lter, pump or valve attachments to separate and
could cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
A
WARNING: The system's centrifugal pump operates
with electrical voltage, and can generate both vacuum
and pressure in the water system. When properly wired
and plumbed, this pump will operate in a safe manner.
A
WARNING: Never work on the pump while it is
running or power is still connected. High voltage can
cause serious or fatal injury. A suitable ground fault
interrupter (GFCI) should always be installed at the
power supply source of this unit. Article 681-31 of the
NEC requires that a GFCI be used if this pump is used
with a storage pool. Be sure to ground the motor before
connecting to electrical AC power source. Failure to
ground the motor can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe line.
A
DANGER: High-pressure release
from the sand lter can cause severe
injury or major property damage due
to parts ying open or apart. Release
all pressure in the sand lter before
doing any work on it. For example, avoid
adjusting the lter clamp under pressure
as that can cause it to separate resulting
in serious injury or property damage.
Pump
1. Only qualified, licensed personnel should install
pump and wiring.
2. Electrical Contractors Please Note: All 115VAC 60Hz
pumps must be wired to the main power supply
through an approved and correctly-rated contactor.
3. Allow for gate valve in suction piping.
Pump suction and discharge connections have molded
in thread stops,do not try to screw pipe in beyond these
stops.
Pump Mount
• Must be on a solid, level, rigid and vibration-free
surface.
• Ensure pump suction inlet height to be as close to
pool water level as possible. Ensure the use of a
short, direct suction pipe, to reduce friction losses.
• Avoid installing the pump above the water level.
Suction lifts of more than 6" (152 mm) will cause
very long priming times, and potentially damage the
pump.
• Allow for gate valves in the suction and discharge
piping. Ensure adequate floor drainage to prevent
flooding.
• Protect from excess moisture.
• Ensure adequate access for servicing the pump,
filter, and piping.
Packaging
A hose barb kit and union kit are included and needed to
make the connections.

Pump Assembly Steps
1. The system should be installed as close as possible
to the swimming pool and preferably at a level of 20"
(0.5 m) below the level of the water in the swimming
pool. It should be preferably in a dry, well-ventilated
area away from direct sunlight and on a hard, level
surface. Make sure there is drainage available at
the place where the filter is to be installed. Give
consideration to:
a. Drainage far away from pump.
b. Ventilation of the pump motor.
c. Access for future servicing and winterizing.
2. Bolt the pump onto the platform.
3. Connect the suction and discharge pipes to the outlet
and inlet of the swimming pool.
4. The pump motor must be wired in accordance with
the wiring diagram supplied with the motor using
the right voltage. Wiring the motor with the incorrect
voltage will cause damage to the motor. Such
damage will not be covered under warranty.
5. Install, ground and bond wire according to local or
National Electrical Code requirements.
6. Permanently ground the motor. Locate the ground
terminal located on the rear side of the motor and
use the wire gauge and type required by code to
connect the motor ground terminal to the electrical
service ground. On cord-connected circuits, check
for proper grounding.
