INSTALLATION
Installation and wiring of pump should only be done by qualified, licensed
personnel.
Pump mount must:
Be Solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe
stress, bolt pump to mount.)
Be installed with pump suction inlet below water level at all times (this al-
lows pump to prime).
Be installed with pump discharge below water level at all times (to avoid
trapped air in discharge line).
Allow discharge line to be level or slope slightly up to heater, spa, or pool.
Have adequate drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Ventilation:
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent motor overheating.
For continuous running, motor hot air exhaust must be able to escape motor
compartment.
Piping:
Use flexible or rigid PVC pipe for connections to pump.
Suction/discharge piping gate valves will allow removal for servicing.
Use at least 1-1/2" IPS pipe.
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Pump will not prime if suction pipe leaks.
Unions are provided. Use as follows for leak-free connections to pump:
1. ‘O’ Ring and sealing surfaces must be clean.
2. Assemble handtight only! (NO WRENCHES!)
3. NO pipe compound or Teflon tape on unions.
4. Bond pipe to unions with PVC cement.
Use PVC cement only in a well ventilated area away from flame;
FOLLOW MANUFACTURER‘S INSTRUCTIONS!
Spa Fittings:
Size and number of jets will have a major effect on jet action.
Typical installations use up to four 7/8" or 3/4" diameter jets or up to seven
1/2" diameter jets.
Spa fittings must meet International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use only non-entrapping suction
fitting or double suction.

ELECTRICAL
Ground motor before connecting to electrical power supply! Failure to
ground pump motor 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 motor
before working on electrical connections.
GFCI tripping indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI trips and will not
reset, have a qualified electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to nameplate voltage (115 Volt or 230
Volt single phase only)! Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously
damage motor and voids warranty!
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to
power supply.
Grounding:
Install, ground, and wire motor according to local or National Electrical Code
requirements.
Permanently ground motor; use size and type wire required by code.
Ground connection must be made to green grounding terminal under motor
canopy or access plate (see Figure 1B).
BONDING
LUG
Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
Install and bond pump according to local codes and ordinances; use bond-
ing lug on motor (see Figure 1A). Use solid copper conductor No. 8 AWG
(8.4mm2) or larger.

CANOPY
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Table I, Page 6, gives cor-
rect wire and circuit breaker sizes for the pump alone. If other lights or appli-
ances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to pump
amp load before figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes. (If unsure how to do
this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician.) Use the load circuit
breaker as the master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a
short-circuit to ground and disconnect power before it becomes dangerous
to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see
manufacturer’s instruction.

or death.
Do not block
suction.
Water:
Keep water level at least two inches above botom of skimmer opening when
system is not in use. Failure to do so can allow air to enter system, causing
pump to lose its prime.
Keep water temperature at 104°F (40°C) or below.
Age or health conditions may require a lower temperature; consult a physi-
cian for more information.
If in doubt, start at a lower temperature and gradually increase it according
to your experience.
Keep an accurate thermometer in bath; check it before getting in.
Do not use or allow the use of the tub by anyone using alcohol or
drugs. The effects of hot water, alcohol and/or drugs can cause dizzi-
ness and falling, loss of consciousness, or heart attack.
