MAINTENANCE
•
Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and
replace as necessary.
•
Pump has self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
•
Keep motor clean. Ensure air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use water to hose
off motor.
•
Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage.
Separation Hazard. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system
with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death
to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump,
filter, or piping.
Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is
non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components. Other anti-freezes are highly
toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long
time (see instructions below).
Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap
pump with plastic film or bags.
STORING PUMP FOR WINTERIZATION
serious personal injury or death.

3. Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring system (after power has been turned OFF),
and piping system.
4. Once the water is emptied from the pump, re-install the strainer cover and drain plugs. Store pump in a dry
