Frequently Asked Questions - continued
Does the LED light come in di erent colors?
Yes. The LED light comes in blue or a multi-color option.
Does it matter if the housing is installed higher or lower than the manual states?
Yes, the center of the jet must be 12" BELOW estimated water level for proper performance of unit. If installed too high, the
pump will draw in air from the top of the water level. If installed too low, a good swim lane cannot be developed.
Can the pump be placed below water level?
Yes. However, for best performance we recommend ordering a pump for flooded suction (Model 21-80/33G) instead of self-
priming (Model 21-80/33GS). We recommend installing valves when installing below water level for ease of maintenance.
Do I need to install a motor starter?
In most cases, no. All single phase pumps have built-in thermal overloads. Also, the three phase Model 21-80/33 has built-in
thermal overload. Other three phase pumps require a motor starter.
Should the swimjet system be tied into the filter system?
No. The swim jet system and the filter system should not be plumbed together as they each provide very specific functions.
Can I use it with automated controls?
Yes. It comes with the ability to tie into automated control systems or other switching devices.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
a. Suction air leak.
b. No water in pump.
c. Closed valves or blocked lines.
d. Low voltage to motor.
a. No power to motor.
b. Pump jammed.
a. No water in pump.
b. Closed valves or blocked lines.
c. Low voltage to motor
a. Bad bearings.
SOLUTION
Make sure the red filler plug and o-ring are clean and
properly positioned. Tighten red filler plug. Tighten all
pipes and fittings on suction side of the pump. Be sure
water in the pool is high enough to flow through the
jet housing.
Make sure pump housing is full of water.
Open all valves in system. Open pump and check for
clogging of impeller.
Check voltage at motor. If low, pump will not come up
to speed.
Check that all power switches are on. Be sure fuse or
circuit breaker is properly set. Check motor wiring at
terminals.
With power o , turn shaft. It should spin freely. If not,
disassemble and repair.
See problem 1.
Check for noise when shaft is turned by hand. Motor
will be very hot in bearing area when running. Replace
bearing.
