5.1

Winterizing the Pump

CAUTION
The pump must be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump
to freeze will cause severe damage and void the
warranty.
CAUTION
Do not use antifreeze solutions in the pool,
spa, or hot tub systems! Antifreeze is highly toxic
and may damage the circulation system. The only
exception to this is Propylene Glycol. For more
information see your local pool/spa supply store or
contact a qualified swimming pool service company.
Drain all water from the pump, system equipment,
1.
and piping.
2. Remove the drain plug. Store the drain plug in a
safe location and reinstall it when the cold weather
season is over. Do not lose the o-ring. (Drain Plug
with O-ring Set, R0537000).
3. Keep the motor covered and dry.
NOTE Covering the pump with plastic will create
condensation, and this moisture will damage
the pump. The best way to protect your pump
is to have a qualified service technician or
electrician properly disconnect the electrical
wiring at the switch or junction box. Once the
power is removed, the two (2) unions can be
loosened and the pump stored indoors. For
safety, and to prevent entry of contaminants,
reinstall all conduit and terminal box covers.
4. When the system is reopened for operation, make
sure all piping, valves, wiring, and equipment
are in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Pay close attention to the filter
and electrical connections.
5. The pump must be primed prior to starting; refer
to Section 4.1, Start-up.
