3.3.4 Install the Pump

1. Mount the pump using two (2) concrete expansion
anchors to ensure stability.
3. Slide the quick connect retainer ring over the
Softube quick connect threads. Install quick
connects onto pump discharge and supply ports.
4. Measure and cut reinforced hose ensuring cut is
clean, with no more than a 30º off straight edge.
Avoid unnecessary loops or bends in the hose.
5. Push the hose onto the quick connect until it is
flush against the hose barb base. See Figure 5.
6. Holding the hose in place, pull and twist the
sleeve on the quick connect over the hose as far as
possible. Snap the clip into place. See Figure 6.
NOTE The retainer clip must be installed. If the sleeve
cannot be positioned on the quick connect to
allow the retainer clip to slide in place, see
Figure 6. Wet the inside of the hose in clean
water and try again.

Installation and Operation Manual

3.3.5 Installation Recommendations

1. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both sides of the pump
to prevent back flow of pool water during any
routine or required servicing.
2. To help prevent difficulty in priming, install the
suction pipe without high points (above inlet of
pump - inverted "U"s in plumbing), which can trap
air.
3. The piping must be well supported and not forced
together where constant stress will be experienced.
4. Always use properly sized valves. Zodiac
diverter valves and Zodiac Jandy ball valves
typically have the best flow capabilities.
5. Use the fewest fittings possible. Every additional
fitting has the effect of moving the equipment
farther away from the water.
NOTE If more than 10 suction fittings are needed, the
pipe size must be increased.

3.3.6 Check the Water Flow

NOTE This pump must have minimum outlet pressure
of 45 psi. Lower pressure may cause an over-
current motor condition.
After the system is plumbed, verify water flow to
the booster pump by disconnecting the inlet supply line
at the booster pump and then turning on the filtration
pump. Water should flow from the line.
If there is no water flow, check the following:
1. Verify that the installation is correct. Refer to
Figure 6.
2. Use smaller eyeball fittings in the pool return lines
or plug a return line.
Once flow is established, the pump is ready for
operation.
