SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
All S & J Series pumps are designed for flooded suction (all suction
fittings and suction piping are below water level) and will not self-prime.
GENERAL PLUMBING
PVC-PVC JOINT
Uni-weld Pool-Tite 2000
SureGuard Flex 20
IPS Weld-on 705
FOR SOLVENT WELD CONNECTIONS
Rigid or flexible PVC pipe can be used. Pipe ends should be clean
and free of any flash caused by the cutting operation. Be sure that the
proper adhesive is used on the type of pipe specified.
Recommended Adhesives - These are examples only and are not
intended to restrict brands.
NOTE: A primer will assure that adhesive joints are superior.
SureGuard P-3000 has a purple tracer to qualify in areas where codes
specify a primer must be used.
CAUTION: We recommend that you consider climatic conditions
when applying adhesives. Certain atmospheric situations, such as
high moisture content, make the adhesive action of certain glues less
effective. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
FOR THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use only PTFE tape or equivalent on threaded plumbing connections.
Other pipe compounds may damage threads. We do not recommend
the use of silicone or petroleum-based compounds. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN! HAND TIGHTEN PLUS 1/2 TURN IS SUFFICIENT.
PUMP PLUMBING
All S & J Series pumps are union connected, allowing quick and
easy service without disturbing the plumbing. Two different plumbing
configurations are available offering 1-1/2" suction connection and
either 1-1/2" discharge or 1" tee discharge. These union packages
must be ordered separately. Avoid using a suction pipe smaller than
pump connection.
To maximize the 100% drain feature, keep the piping as straight and
short as possible and slope horizontal runs so water drains away from
pump. The suction line must be installed at an elevation below the
water level when the tub is filled to guarantee flooded suction.
ELECTRICAL DATA
If the unit is being installed for use with a swimming pool, spa, or hot
tub a solid copper bonding conductor not smaller than 8 AWG shall
be connected from the accessible wire connector on the motor to all
metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all
electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, when
the motor is installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
1. Disconnected switch or circuit breaker in OFF position. Disconnected or
defective wiring.
2. Fuse blown or thermal overload open.
Motor does not start 3. Locked motor shaft.
4. Motor windings burned out.
5. Defective starting switch inside single-phase motor.
6. Low voltage.
1. Low voltage.
Motor overheats
2. Motor windings connected for wrong voltage on dual voltage model.
(protection tips)
3. Inadequate ventilation.
1. Discharge valve or inlet fittings closed too much.
High pump pressure
2. Return lines too small.
1. Pump is not primed.
Pump delivers no 2. Closed valve in suction or discharge line.
water 3. Leakage of air into suction line.
4. Impeller clogged.
1. O-ring missing or damaged.
Leaking unions 2. Plumbing in bind.
3. Insufficient tightening.
NOTE: If recommendations in the Troubleshooting portion do not solve particular problem(s), please contact your local dealer for service.

Possible Cause
Refer to information on motor nameplate for electrical service data.
All motors should have fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
Be sure wire size is sufficient for hp and distance from power source.
Wiring should be done in
accordance with applicable
codes by competent
electrician. We recommend
the installation of a ground
fault circuit interrupter for
maximum safety.

PUMP START UP
Fill tub to desired level, making sure that suction fittings and jets
are below water level. Start pump and open all suction and discharge
line valves.
After about 10 minutes of operation, check the return fittings for air
bubbles. A continuous flow of air indicates a leak in the suction line.
Locate and correct any leaks immediately.
CAUTION - Do not operate pump with closed suction or
discharge valves.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
1. Motors are self-lubricating - no lubrication is required.
2. Clean hair and lint strainer if you have a pump with strainer body.
3. Visually inspect motor for blockage of air vents on motor
shell. Remove any debris after shutting off breaker.
4. Shaft seals may become worn and must be replaced if
leakage is observed.
Problem
1. Valve in suction or discharge line partly closed.
2. Suction or discharge line partly plugged.
Low pump capacity 3. Suction or discharge line too small.
4. Pump running at reduced speed.
5. Impeller clogged.
