SAFETY inFormATion SAFETY INFORMATION
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 may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original
integrity.
risk of hazardous pressure. Pool and spa circulation systems operate
under high pressure. Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing
severe injury or property damage. Read and follow instructions in the owner's
manual when installing and operating pool circulation equipment. Have a trained
pool professional perform all pressure tests.
1. Do not connect system to a high pressure or city water system.
2. Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.
3. Trapped air in system may cause a separation and cause severe bodily injury and/or property
damage. BE SURE all air is out of system before operating or testing equipment. See hazardous
pressure warning below. Do not use compressed air to clean, test, or purge equipment for winter.
Before pressure testing, make the following safety checks:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories before testing.
• Release all air in system before testing.
• Tighten pump trap cover to 30 ft./lbs. (4.1 kg/m) torque for testing.
• Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI (7.5 kg/cm²).
• Water temperature for test must be less than 100°F (38°C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Release air pressure from the system. Remove and replace trap cover. Hand tighten trap
cover only.
NOTICE: These testing parameters apply only to the models described herein. For other
equipment, consult the manufacturer.
Hazardous pressure. Stand clear of pump and filter (not included) during start-up.
Pool and spa circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulation
system (i.e., filter locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and
become pressurized.
• Pressurized air can cause the pump housing, filter, filter lid, or valves to violently separate which
can result in severe personal injury or death to anyone near.
• To reduce the risk of separation, follow the manufacturer's instructions to make sure that the filter
tank lid and the suction trap cover are properly secured.
• Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when starting the pump.
• Before servicing pool and spa equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Turn off power to the
pump. Set all controls so that the system cannot inadvertently start during service.
• Open the filter's manual air relief valve (not included with the pump) and wait for all pressure in
the system to be relieved.
• With the filter's manual air relief valve fully open, place all system valves in the "open" position to
allow water to flow freely from the pool or spa back to the pool or spa (that is, through the entire
circulation system). Stand clear of all pool and spa equipment and start the pump.
• Do not close the filter's manual air relief valve until all air has been discharged from the valve and
a steady stream of water appears. Observe the filter pressure gauge (not included) and be sure it
is not higher than the pre-service condition. If it is higher, stop the pump and check the system for
closed valves, plugged piping, etc. If in doubt, consult a professional pool service person.
