PUMP STRAINER BASKET
This unit, sometimes referred to as the "Hair and Lint Pot", is the unit in front of the volute. The lint pot must be installed using only teflon tape on
the threads. Do not use liquid chemical thread sealant. The basket inside the chamber must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View
basket through the "See Through Lid" to inspect for leaves and debris. Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important
to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an
abnormal stress on the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill.
WARNING: DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the
strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain
scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal
injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then with
extreme caution.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer
and skimmer baskets regularly.
WARNING: THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM (e.g.
LOCK RING, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED.
PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BLOW OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Turn off motor.
2. Relieve pressure in the system.
3. Turn the lid in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops.
4. Lift lid and remove basket.
5. Put the debris from the basket into the trash and rinse out the
basket. If the basket is cracked, it should be replaced.
6. Replace the basket and fill the pump pot and volute up to the
inlet port with water.
7. Clean the cover, O-ring and sealing surface of the pump pot.
Grease the O-ring with Teflon or silicone.
8. Reinstall the lid (Figure 2).
9. Make sure the lid O-ring is properly placed. Seat the lid then turn
clockwise until hand tight (DO NOT over tighten with tools)
(Figure 3).
10. Turn the power "ON" at the house circuit breaker. Reset the pool
time clock to the correct time.
11. Open the manual air relief valve on top of the filter.
12. Stand clear of the filter. Start the pump.
13. Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of water comes out.
Close the manual air relief valve.
