DANGER: SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION OUTLETS! THIS PUMP IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY VACUUM RELEASE SYSTEM (SVRS) PROTECTION AND DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENTS, DISEMBOWELMENTS (WHEN A PERSON SITS ON A BROKEN OR UNCOVERED POOL DRAIN) OR HAIR ENTANGLEMENTS.

THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A STRONG VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY OF WATER. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDERWATER IF THEY COME NEAR A DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE. THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH.

The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:

• Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured
• Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
• Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, or broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.
• Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
• Mechanical Entrapment: When jewellery, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
• NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED INACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.

WARNING: TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:

• A properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A112. 19.8 approved anti-entrapment suction cover must be used for each drain.
• Each suction cover must be installed at least three (3′) feet apart, as measured from the nearest point to the nearest point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or missing, replace it with an appropriate certified cover.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body near any suction cover, pool drain or outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure them into return inlets.

WARNING: The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side of the plumbing system. These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is critical that the suction plumbing be installed according to the latest national and local codes for swimming pools.
WARNING: A clearly labelled emergency shut-off switch for the pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious place. Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency.
CAUTION: For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)

Install all electrical controls at the equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter.

WARNING
Pumps improperly sized installed or used in applications other than for which the pump was intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.

DANGER HAZARDOUS PRESSURE:

STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START-UP. Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, filter lid, and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. The filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up the pump. Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in the system to be relieved.

Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close the filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe the filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service condition.

INTRODUCTION

Drive Features
The pump features a premium efficiency variable frequency drive that provides flexibility in terms of motor speed and duration settings.
WARNING: This pump is for use with 230 Vrms nominal, and in pool pump applications ONLY. Connection to the wrong voltage, or use in other applications may cause damage to equipment or personal injury. The pump’s drive controls the speed settings as well as run durations. The pump can operate at speeds ranging between 1000 and 3450 RPM and will operate within the voltage of 230 Vrms nominal at either 50 or 60Hz input frequency. The pump is intended to run at the lowest speeds needed to maintain a sanitary environment and, at the same time, minimize energy consumption. Factors such as pool size, the presence of additional water features, the type of chemicals used to maintain sanitary conditions, and local environmental factors will impact optimal programming to maximize energy conservation. Determining the optimal settings and programming for your pool may require some trial and error.

Location

• Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
• Note: Ensure that the pump is mechanically secured to the equipment pad.

ENSURE THE INSTALL LOCATION MEETS THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

1. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. To reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short, direct suction and return piping.
2. Install a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a minimum of 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the inside wall of the pool.
3. Install the pump a minimum of 3 ft. (0.9 m) from the heater outlet.
4. Do not install the pump more than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above the water level.
5. Install the pump in a well-ventilated location protected from excess moisture (i.e. rain gutter downspouts, sprinklers, etc.).
6. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) so that the motor can be removed easily for maintenance and repair. See Figure 1.

Piping

1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size.
2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the same or larger than the return line diameter.
3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
4. For most installations recommend installing a valve on both the pump suction and return lines so that the pump can be isolated during routine maintenance. However, we also recommend that a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump than five (5) times the suction line diameter. See Figure 2.
   • Example: A 2.5 in. pipe requires a 12.5 in. (31.8 cm) straight run in front of the suction port. This will help the pump prime faster and last longer.
   • Note: DO NOT install 90° elbows directly into the suction or discharge ports.

Fittings and Valves

1. Do not install 90° elbows directly into the suction port.
2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and discharge pipes for maintenance, however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than five times the suction pipe diameter as described in this section.
3. Use a check valve in the discharge line when using this pump for any application where there is significant height to the plumbing after the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with another pump. This helps prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

Electrical Installation

Warning

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. The pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service professional per the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard that could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause property damage. Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, pool users or others due to electric shock and/or property damage.

Speed Priorities (Non-External Control)

• For schedule duration settings, SPEEDs are prioritized as follows: SPEED 1 -> SPEED 2 -> SPEED 3 -> SPEED 4. SPEED 1 is the highest priority, while SPEED 4 is the lowest.
• The drive has priority Settings, as shown in the following table.

Example: Starting Schedule (Before Adjustment)

• SPEED 1 start time = 8:00AM duration = 6 hours
• SPEED 2 start time = 9:00AM duration = 1 hour
• SPEED 3 start time = 10:00AM duration = 1 hour
• SPEED 4 start time = 2:00PM duration = 1 hour

In this way, according to the priority, the water pump will run the speed1 mode from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (skip the speed2 and 3 modes in the middle, because speed2 and 3 have been included in the speed 1 operation period), and the speed4 mode will run from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

End Schedule (After Adjustment)

• SPEED 1 start time = 8:00AM duration = 6 hours
• SPEED 4 start time = 2:00PM duration = 1 hours

1. Protect from splashing or sprayed water.
2. Protect from extreme weather.
3. If motor internals have become wet – let them dry before operating. Do not allow the pump to operate if it has been flooded.
4. If the motor has been damaged by water it may void the motor warranty.

WARNING

• THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
• When any part of the circulating system is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized.
• Pressurized air can cause the lid to separate which can result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
• To avoid this potential hazard, follow the above instructions.

Refer to the Motor/Hydraulics Assembly Diagram, on the next page, for a parts breakdown of the pump.

WARNING: Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock. Read all servicing instructions before servicing the pump. DO NOT open the strainer pot if the pump fails to prime or if the pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build-up of vapour pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. To avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and the strainer pot temperature is cool to the touch, then open with extreme caution.

Restarting the Pump

• If the pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close the return and suction lines before opening the strainer pot on the pump. Make sure to re-open valves before operating.

CAUTION

• DO NOT run the pump dry. The shaft seal will be damaged and require replacement.
• ALWAYS maintain the proper water level in your pool (halfway up the skimmer opening). If the water level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, lose prime and cause the pump to run dry.
• Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, damage the pump and/or property or personal injury.

TO PRIME THE PUMP:

1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump and disconnect all power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Relieve all pressure from the filtration system at the filter air relief valve.
3. Remove the strainer pot lid by twisting it in a counter-clockwise direction.
4. Fill the strainer pot up to the inlet port with water.
5. Place the lid onto the strainer pot, then turn clockwise to lock in place.
   • Note: The lid is properly locked when the handles are nearly perpendicular to the pump body.
6. Return power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
7. Open the filter air relief valve.
8. Stand clear of the filter and press the Start/Stop button to start the pump.
9. Bleed air from the filter air relief valve until a steady stream of water appears, then close the relief valve.
10. The pump will run a priming cycle and, if successful, begin normal operation.

Winterizing

• You are responsible for determining when freezing conditions may occur.
• If freezing conditions are expected, take the following steps to reduce the risk of freeze damage.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
• In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing conditions may occur, run your filtering equipment all night to prevent freezing.

TO PREVENT FREEZE DAMAGE:

1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump and disconnect all power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
