Maintenance
STORAGE/WINTERIZING:
NOTE: Allowing pump to freeze will
damage pump and void warranty!
NOTE: Do not use anti-freeze solutions
(except propylene glycol) in your
pool/spa system. Propylene glycol (“RV
antifreeze”) is non-toxic and will not
damage plastic system components;
other anti-freezes are highly toxic and
may damage plastic components in the
system.
Drain all water from pump and piping
when expecting freezing temperatures
or when storing pump for a long time
(See instructions below).
Keep motor dry and covered during
storage.
To avoid condensation/corrosion
problems, do not cover pump with
plastic. For outdoor/unprotected
installations:
1. Enclose entire system in a
weatherproof enclosure.
2. To avoid condensation/corrosion
damage, allow ventilation; do not
wrap system in plastic.
3. Use a 40% propylene glycol/60%
water solution to protect pump
to -50°F.
DRAINING PUMP
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death. Disconnect power
before working on pump or motor.
Explosion hazard. Purging the
system with compressed air can
cause components to explode, with risk
of severe injury or death to anyone
nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5
psi), high volume blower when air
purging the pump, filter, or piping.
1. Pump down water level below all
inlets to the pool.
To avoid dangerous
or fatal electrical
shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor
before draining pump.
2. Remove trap cover and use low
pressure air to blow accumulated
water from the piping system.
3. Cap inlet piping after draining to
keep water out of the pipes.
4. To prevent pump from freezing,
remove trap cover and drain the tank
body through the two drain plugs
provided.
A. Gravity drain system as far as
possible.
B. Protect areas which retain water
with non-toxic propylene glycol
antifreeze (“RV antifreeze”).
5. Clean pump thoroughly; replace trap
cover.
6. Be sure motor is kept dry and
covered.
STARTUP FOR WINTERIZED
EQUIPMENT
1. Remove any temporary weather
protection placed around system for
shutdown.
2. Follow filter manufacturer’s
instructions for reactivation of the
filter.
3. Inspect all electrical wiring for
damage or deterioration over the
shutdown period. Have a qualified
serviceman repair wiring as needed.
4. Inspect and tighten all watertight
connections.
5. Open all valves in suction and return
piping.
6. Remove any winterizing plugs in
piping system.
7. Drain all antifreeze from system.
8. Close all drain valves and replace all
drain plugs in piping system.
9. Prime pump according to instructions
on Page 5.
PUMP SERVICE
Pump should only be serviced by
qualified personnel.
Be sure to prime pump (Page 5) before
starting it.
Before removing trap cover:
STOP PUMP before
proceeding.
1. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and
discharge pipes.
2. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump
and piping system.
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, or
kill. Disconnect power before working on
pump or motor.
Aside from lubricating trap cover
O-Ring, no lubrication or mechanical
maintenance is needed beyond
reasonable care and periodic cleaning.
If shaft seal is worn or damaged, repair
as follows:
PUMP DISASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 7, for Reference
numbers.
Disconnect power
to pump motor.
Risk of flooding. Be
sure gate valves on
suction and return piping are closed
before starting work.
Release all pressure by opening all vents
before starting work.
1. Drain pump by removing drain plugs
on bottom of pump body and trap
body (Ref. No. 16).
2. Be sure there is no pressure in trap
body; remove trap cover.
3. Remove nuts (Ref. No. 6), which hold
volute in place and release the volute
from the adapter. Slide the
motor/bracket assembly backwards.
