Winterizing
1. If the air temperature drops below 35° F., the water in the pump can freeze and cause damage. Freeze damage
is not warrantable.
2. To prevent freeze damage follow the procedures listed below:
• Shut off electrical power for the pump at the house circuit breaker.
• Drain the water out of the pump case by removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs from the case.
Store the plugs in the pump basket.
• Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice.
• Do not wrap the motor in plastic. It will cause condensation and rust on the inside of the motor.
CAUTION — In mild climate area, when temporary freezing conditions may occur, run your filtering equipment all
night to prevent freezing.
