1. Connecting a check valve
Install check valve to the pump outlet
NOTE: Be sure arrows are pointing upward.
2. Connecting a debris strainer
Install the "snap-on" debris strainer. Begin by lining up the
pump base profile with the profile of the strainer base using the
switch housing as a guide. Tilt the pump back and guide the
rear of the pump (opposite the discharge) into the strainer base.
Once the rear of the pump is in place, gently rotate the pump
down until the latch engages.
To remove debris strainer release latch and guide pump out of
strainer in the reverse motion of installation
NOTE: Always use debris strainer when placing pump on a pool cover .The strainer helps protect the pool cover from
damage, filters debris, and increases pump stability.
3a. Connecting a 3/4 in. garden hose connection
NOTE: Be sure the 3/4 in. garden hose thread connector has a rubber
gasket to minimize water leaks.
NOTE: The larger the inside diameter and the shorter the length of hose,
the less pressure that is lost (or the larger the flow rate).
Attach a garden hose with a 3/4 in. garden hose thread (not included)
to the check valve.
3b. Connecting a 1-1/4 in. hose kit
WARNING: Secure the discharge hose before plugging in the pump. An
unsecured discharge hose may "whip" possibly causing personal injury,
and/or property damage.
If you would prefer to use a 1-1/4 in. hose kit (not included) in order to
pump water away more quickly.Securely attach the hose kit (not
included) to the check valve.
4. Setting the pump on the pool cover
With pump unplugged set the pump on the pool cover, where water will collect. Do not set the pump directly on mud,
sand surfaces or in leaves.
NOTE: For best results make sure the pump strainer is making full contact with a clean area of the pool cover. This will
allow the strainer to properly filter debris and help prevent clogging of the pump. If necessary clear an area of the pool
cover before placing the pump.
NOTE: Do not place the pump on a weak, damaged pool cover could cause the cover to give way, or could allow the
pump to remove treated swimming water from the pool in addition to rainwater.
