*Assumes three (3) copper conductors in a buried conduit and 3% maximum voltage loss in branch circuit. All National Electrical Code (NEC
local codes must be followed. Table shows minimum wire size and branch fuse recommendations for a typical installation per NEC.
3. Insulate all connections carefully to prevent
grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on
terminals require extra protection. To prevent wire
nuts from loosening, tape them using a 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. To configure the internal wiring of the pump motor
for the correct voltage, refer to the diagram on the
motor data plate.
5. The starting current of the booster pump motor
may exceed 15 amps on 115 VAC voltage line. It
is recommended that a 20 amp service breaker be
used for the pump connected to 115 VAC.
6. The booster pump motor is factory wired for 230
volts, but can be wired for either 115 or 230 volts.
To rewire to 115 volt, follow the instructions on
the name plate located on the back of the motor or
the sizing plate on the side of the motor.
7. A separate time clock (in addition to the filtration
system time clock) is recommended to control the
On/Off functions of the booster pump. A manual
switch can also be used.
8. If a time clock is used, set it to turn the pump
on at least a half an hour after the pool filtration
pump is turned on, and turn the pump off at least
half an hour before the filtration pump shuts off.
Periodically check the time clock settings to make
sure they are properly synchronized.

Plumbing

Be careful not to overtighten any pipe fitting on the
inlet or outlet of the booster pump. Overtightening
can cause the housing to crack.

3.3.1 Requirements

The Polaris Booster Pump requires a dedicated
return line. Plumb the booster pump into the system so
that it always receives flow from the filtration pump.
To ensure proper function of the pump and the cleaner,
refer to Figure 2 and adhere to the following guidelines
for specific equipment.
1. Plumb the dedicated line upstream of all air
inducing equipment.
2. If a heater is installed on the system, tap the
inlet for the booster pump into the return line
downstream and at least three (3) feet (1 meter)
from the heater discharge. See Figure 2. Do not
tap the booster pump inlet into the three-foot
(1 meter) section of heat sink pipe that comes
directly out of the heater.
3. Some solar heating systems utilize the entire water
flow when the panels are being purged of air. If the
pump is installed in a non-flow pipe during solar
panel purges, install an automatic override to shut
off the pump.
NOTE
Plumb the booster pump up-stream
of all air inducing equipment.
