IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

  1. READ AND FOLLOW All INSTRUCTIONS.

  2. WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

  3. WARNING:  Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that a circuit is protected by a GFCI.

  4. WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace any damaged cord immediately.

  5. DO NOT install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.

  6. CAUTION:  This pump is for use with permanently­ installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

  7. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

  8. TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, A copper bonding connector (8 AWG U.S., 6 AWG Canada) is provided for bonding the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet of the inside walls of a swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, when the motor is installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
    NOTE: To installer and/or operator of the Speck Swimming Pool Pump; the manufacturer’s warranty will be voided if the pump is improperly installed and/ or operated.

  9. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

General Safety

Installation Information

PREPARATION GUIDE
  1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for damage. Open the carton and check the pump for concealed damage, such as cracks, dents, or a broken base. If damage is found, contact the shipper for distributor where the pump was purchased.
  2. Inspect the contents of the carton and verify that all parts are included. See Parts List and Exploded View for details.
PUMP LOCATION

NOTE: In Canada, the pump must be located a minimum of three (3) meters (approximately ten (10) feet) from the water (CSA CZZ.1).

  1. For trouble-free self-priming, install the pump as close to the pool as practical. Consult local codes for minimum distance between pool and pump.
    WARNING: Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) devices are not compatible with the installation of check valves. If the pool has an SVRS device, be sure to confirm that it will continue to safely operate if check valves are installed.

  2. The piping should be as direct and free from turns or bends as possible, as elbows and other fittings greatly increase friction losses which reduce the flow of water.

  3. Place pump on a solid foundation which provides a rigid and vibration-free support so that it is readily accessible for service and maintenance.

  4. Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected from direct sunlight and excessive moisture (rain, sprinklers, etc.).

  5. Protect the pump against flooding and excess moisture, and prevent foreign objects from clogging air circulation around motor. All motors generate heat that must be removed by providing proper ventilation.

  6. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable

  7. DO NOT remove any safety alert labels such as DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace and missing or damaged labels.

  8. Provide access for future services by leaving a clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of space above the pump to remove lid and basket for cleaning.

PIPE SIZING

NOTE: Alf pipe sizes ore able to withstand the pressures the pump will deliver, but not necessarily the flow. If the pipe is too small for the pump, or is elevated above the water, the maximum gallons per minute (GPM) may not be delivered. If this happens, the pump will develop a pocket of air that makes noise (cavitation). This may shorten the life of the pump.
SUCTION & DISCHARGE:

PLUMBING INSTALLATION
  1. When connecting piping to the threaded ports on the pump, it is recommended that thread seal tape be used. Hard-plumbed pipes mush have proper solvent-weld connections. If the suction line is not sealed correctly, the pump will not prime properly and will pump small volumes of water or none at all.
  2. When installing the pump, care should be taken so that the suction line is below water level to a point immediately beneath the pump to ensure quick priming via a flooded suction line. The height between the pump and water level should not be more than five (5) feet.
  3. Suction and discharge lines should be independently supported at a point near the pump to avoid strains being placed on the pump. Always use properly sized valves.
  4. When installing the pump below water level, it is advisable to install a valve in both the suction and discharge line in the event that the pump must be removed for servicing.
  5. Before starting the pump for the first time, remove the see-through lid. (Turn lid ring counter-clockwise to remove.) Fill strainer tank with water until it is level with the suction inlet. Replace lid with locking ring. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air-tight seal. DO NOT use any tools to tighten the lid.
  6. Use the fewest number of fittings as possible. Each additional fitting has the effect of moving the equipment farther away from the water. NOTE: If more than ten (10) suction fittings are needed, the pipe size must be increased. foundation or mounting bracket.SPECK X pumps Swimming Pool and Spa Pump fig 2
BONDING AND GROUNDING

When installing and using the motor, basic safety precautions should always be followed. The wiring of the motor should be done by a licensed electrician in accordance with local codes.

  1. The motor frame must be grounded to a reliable grounding point using a solid copper conductor, No. B AWG or larger. In Canada, No. 6 AWG or larger must be used. If the pump is installed within five (5) feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, the motor frame must be bonded to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within five (5) feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
  2. Bond the motor using the provided external lug.

WARNING: Always disconnect the power source before working on a motor or its connected load. Motor is fitted with internal auto reset. May restart without warning. In order to avoid the risk of property damage, severe personal injury, and/or death, make sure that the control switch, time clock, or control system is installed in an accessible location, so that in the event of an equipment failure or loose plumbing fitting, the equipment can be easily turned off.
CAUTION: The pump must be permanently connected ta a dedicated electrical circuit. Na other equipment, lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to the pump circuit, with the exception of devices that may be required to operate simultaneously with the pump, such as a chlorinating device or heater.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
  1. The pump motor must be securely grounded inside the motor terminal compartment. NOTE: DD NOT connect to electric power supply until unit is permanently grounded.
  2. Wire size must be adequate to minimize voltage drop during the start-up and operation of the pump.
  3. Insulate all connections carefully to prevent grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on terminals require extra protection. To prevent the wire nuts from loosening, tape them using suitable, listed (UL, ETL, CSA) electrical insulating tape. For safety, and to prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal box covers. Do not force connections into the conduit box.
  4. Connect Ll, LZ/N, and Ground to the terminal block as shown on the motor nameplate.
VOLTAGE CHECKS

The correct voltage, as specified on the pump data plate, is necessary for proper performance and long motor life. Incorrect voltage will cause damage to the motor.
It is the responsibility of the electrical installer to provide data plate operating voltage to the pump by ensuring proper circuit sizes and wire sizes for this specific application.
CAUTION: Failure to provide data plate voltage during operation will cause the motor to overheat and void the warranty.

PRESSURE TEST

WARNING
When pressure testing o system with water, air is often trapped in the system during the filling process. This air will compress when the system is pressurized. Should the system foil, this trapped air can propel debris at o high speed and cause injury. Every effort to remove trapped air must be taken. including opening the bleed valve on the filter and loosening the pump basket lid while filling the pump.
Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly purged out of the system before operating. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR CHECK FOR LEAKS.
When pressure testing the system with water, it is very important to make sure that the pump basket and lid is completely secure.

  1. Fill the system with water, using care to eliminate trapped air.

  2. Pressurize the system with water to no more than 35 PSI.
    WARNING: DO NOT pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. Circulation equipment that is not tested properly might foil, which could result in severe injury or property damage.

  3. Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the system.

  4. Observe system for leaks and/or pressure loss.

  5. If there are leaks, repeat steps 1-3. For technical support call B00-223-8538 or +1 904-739-2626.

EQUIPMENT OPERATION, SERVICE, AND MAINTENANCE

START UP GUIDE

CAUTION: Never run the pump without water. Running the pump “dry” for any length of time can co use severe damage to both the pump and the motor and will void the warranty.
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping is clear of construction debris and has been properly pressure tested. The filter should be checked for proper installation, verifying that all connections and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
WARNING: To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal injury or death, verify that all power is turned off before starting this procedure.

  1. Release all pressure from the system and open the filter pressure release (air bleed) valve.

  2. Depending on the location of the pump, do one of the following:

    • If the pump is located below the water level of the pool. open the filter valve to prime the pump with water.
    • If the pump is located above the water level of the pool. remove the lid and fill the basket with water before starting the pump.
  3. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around the lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid o-ring seat will make it difficult to prime the pump.

  4. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal. DO NOT use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-tighten only. Make sure all valves are open and the unions are tight.

  5. Once all the air has left the filter, close the pressure release valve.

  6. Switch on power to the pump-motor to start.

  7. Allow the pump to run for up to 10 minutes to allow air trapped in the suction line to be purged.

  8. If the pump does not prime and all the instructions to this point have been followed, check for a suction leak. If there is a leak repeat Steps 2 through 6.
    NOTE: It is normal for o few drops of water to escape from the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially true during the break-in period.

  9. For technical support, call 800-223-8538. If calling from outside the U.S. dial +l 904-739-2626.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This pump requires little or no service other than reasonable care and periodic cleaning of the strainer basket. DO NOT strike basket to clean. When cleaning the basket inspect the lid a-ring for damage and replace if necessary.

  1. Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through the clear pump lid.
  2. Turn OFF the power to the pump. If the pump is located below the water level, close isolation valves on the suction and discharge sides of the pump to prevent back flow of water.
  3. Remove any debris, because as the debris accumulates, it will begin to block the flow of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean and clear to improve the performance of the pump.
  4. Turn the lid ring counter-clockwise to remove. Carefully remove the lid and lock ring.
  5. Remove the basket and properly dispose of the debris into the trash and rinse out the basket. Check basket for cracks, if crack is found replace basket.
  6. Replace basket back into the pump, align the basket properly with the suction pipe. Then fill with water up to the suction pipe. Clean the clear lid, o-ring, and sealing surface of the pump of any debris.
  7. Replace lid with lid ring. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air-tight seal. DO NOT use any tools to tighten the lid.
  8. Verify that all valves have been returned to the proper position for normal operation. Turn ON the power to the pump.

NOTE: It is normal for o few drops of water to escape from the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially true during the break-in period.

The mechanical seal may become worn or loose over the course of time, depending on the running time and water quality. If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical seal should be fitted. After long periods of no operation (seasonal storage, etc.), the pump must be checked for ease of rotation while it is switched off. Refer to Section 2/4 Removal and Replacement of the Impeller and/or Mechanical Seo/.
WARNING: Before servicing the pump, switch off the circuit breakers at the power source. Severe personal injury or death may occur if the pump starts while your hand is inside the pump.

WINTERIZING

CAUTION: The pump must be protected when freezing temperatures ore expected. Allowing the pump to freeze will cause severe damage and void the warranty.
There are two options when winterizing the pump.
OPTION 1:

  1.  Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and piping.
  2. Remove drain plugs. DO NOT replace plugs. Store the plugs in the empty strainer basket for winter. as Keep the motor covered and dry.

OPTION 2:

1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and plumbing.
2. Remove the pump and motor from the plumbing and store indoors in a warm, dry location.

NOTE: When the winter season is over the pump will need to be check and primed prior to start.
CAUTION: DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start to leak ot the seal. If this occurs, the mechanical seal will need to be replaced. ALWAYS maintain the proper water level in your pool. Continued operation in this manner could cause o loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump casing, impeller, and mechanical sea.

SLOW-DISSOLVE CAL-HYPO FEEDER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

INSTALLATION

This slow-dissolve calhypo feeder is designed to be hard plumbed with 1· PVC pipe with standard threaded inlet and outlet fittings. It operates via pressure differential to circulate water 1n the feeder. The inlet side connects to the plumbing near the pump outlet The outlet line connects near the filter inlet. A diverter valve (not included} must be installed between these two lines (see diagram). Fightly closing this valve will allow for higher flow into the feeder. The feeder should be· installed bolted down.

OPERATION

Always use extreme caution when operating or servicing the feeder. NEVER OPEN WHEN THE PUMP IS RUNNING, NEVER INHALE CHEMICAL FUMES. Use caution in hotter weather, as this can create a higher level of gasses. Wear protective glasses and gloves when operating the feeder. Always follow product label directions for handling chemicals.
Before starting the feeder adjust chlorine level to 1-4 ppm. Check with your chemical dealer for more information on proper water care. Sanitizer demand can depend on many environmental factors. Valve settings may need adjustment at times to accommodate changing conditions. Attempt to increase the feeder rate a day or two in advance of anticipated increases in demand. Test water to determine proper Chlorine residual levels; it is recommended that the. levels are checked daily for the first week after start-up to adjust to the ideal rate. Higher numbers dispense more sanitizer. Small, incremental changes are recommended to best control sanitizer levels.SPECK X pumps Swimming Pool and
