Safety
To minimize the risk of injury due to suction
entrapment hazard:
• Pools and spas should utilize a minimum of two
drains per pump.
• A properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME
A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment suction cover
must be used for each drain.
• Each suction cover must be installed at least three
(3') feet apart, as measured from the nearest point to
nearest point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and
advanced weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken
or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately,
shut off the pump, post a notice and keep the pool
or spa closed until an appropriate certified cover is
properly installed.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers
deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight,
pool chemicals and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity
to any suction cover, pool drain or outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into
return inlets.
Risk of harm . A clearly labeled emergency
shut-off switch for the pool pump and spa jet pump must
be in an easily accessible, obvious place near the pool or
spa. Make sure bathers know where it is and how to use
it in case of emergency.
Risk of harm . To reduce the risk of injury, do
not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
Risk of electric shock . Can shock, burn
or kill. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by
a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit
is protected by a GFCI. This unit must be connected
only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-
fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should
be provided by the installer and should be tested on
a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button.
The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button.
Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in
this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts
power to the pump without the test button being pushed,
a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of
an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the
pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.

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 owner's manual when installing
and operating 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 can cause explosion. 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 lids 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. Remove
trap lid and retighten hand tight only.
NOTICE These testing parameters apply only to
the models described herein. For other equipment,
consult the manufacturer.
Risk of hazardous pressure . Stand clear of
pump and filter during start-up. Pool
and spa circulation systems operate
under high pressure. When any part
of the circulating system (i.e. locking
ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is
serviced, air can enter the system and
become pressurized.
• Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover
filter lid and valves to violently separate which can
result in severe personal injury or death.
