FLOTIDE SS Pool and Spa Pump User Manual
INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed electrician or contractors should install pump and wiring.
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL
Electrical Contractors Please.
Note: FLOTIDE pumps must be wired to the supply through an approved and
correctly rated contactor.
Pump Mount Must:
- Be solid, level, rigid and free from vibration.
- Allow use of short, direct suction pipe. (To reduce friction losses & do not install the pump at more than 3M geometrical height from water level)
- Flowrates should be used in suction and discharge piping.
- Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
- Be protected from excess moisture.
- All adequate access for pump and piping servicing
NOTICE:
Pump suction and discharge connections have molded in thread stops, DO NOT try to screw pipe in beyond these st
OPERATION
CAUATION
Hazardous suction. Can trap hair or body part, causing severe injury or death.
Do not block suction.
NEVER run pump dry! Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage
and flooding! Fill pump with water before starting motor.
Before removing lid: STOP PUMP before proceeding. CLOSE GATE VALVES in
suction and discharge pipes. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
NEVER tighten or loosen screws while pump is operation.
Do not block pump suction! To do so with body may cause severe or fatal
injury. Children using pool must ALWAYS have close adult Supervision!
Priming Pump:
- Release all air from filter and piping system: see filter owner manual.
- In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.
- If pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and remove trap cover; fill trap and pump with water.
- Clean and inspect Ring; re-install on trap cover.
- Replace trap cover on trap; turn clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTICE: Tighten trap cover by hand only. Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction piping.
Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance needed is inspection/cleaning of trap basket. Debris or trash that collects in basket, will choke off water flow through the pump. Follow instructions below to clean trap:
- Stop pump, close gate valve in suction and discharge, and release all pressure from system before proceeding.
- Unscrew trap lid (turn counterclockwise).
- Remove strainer basket and clean. Be sure all holes in basket are clear,flush basket with water and replace in trap with large opening at pipe connection port (between ribs provided). If basket is replaced backwards cover will not fit on trap body.
- Clean and inspect lid Ring; reinstall on trap cover.
- Clean Ring groove on trap body and Replace lid. To help keep lid from sticking, tighten hand tight only.
- Prime pump (see priming instructions above
