SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER
Use only properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment suction
covers for each drain.
Ensure that each suction cover is installed at least three (3') feet apart, measured from the nearest point
to nearest point.
Regularly check all suction covers for cracks, damage, and excessive weathering.
Promptly replace any loose, cracked, damaged, broken, or missing cover with an appropriate certified
one.
Periodically replace drain covers as necessary since they deteriorate over time due to exposure to
sunlight and weather.
Avoid placing hair, limbs, or your body near any suction cover, pool drain, or outlet.
To minimize the risk of injury caused by suction entrapment hazards, please follow these
safety guidelines:
By adhering to these precautionary measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of injury
associated with suction entrapment hazards.
The pump has the potential to generate significant levels of suction within the plumbing
system's suction side. This heightened suction presents a considerable risk if individuals come too close to
the suction openings. Being near these openings can result in severe injuries caused by the intense vacuum
or may lead to entrapment and drowning.
During installation, ensure proper drainage around the pump to prevent water from entering the
electrical components.
To ensure optimal performance, it is crucial to use the proper size pump for the specific application and

OVERVIEW (PRODUCT INFORMATION)OVERVIEW (PRODUCT INFORMATION)
INSTALLATION
For detailed guidance on safe installation, please refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provid-
ed on pages 3 to 6. These instructions are vital to ensure the pump is set up correctly, maintaining safety and
optimal performance.
While the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to position both the pump and filter in the shade to
shield them from continuous direct heat. Select a well-drained location that will not flood during rainy periods.
Never install the pump and filter in a damp or poorly ventilated area. Keeping the motor clean is crucial, as
pump motors require unrestricted air circulation to aid in cooling.
Ensure that the pump location satisfies the following requirements:
Position the pump and sand filter system close to the pool or spa, using short and direct suction and
return piping to minimize friction loss and improve efficiency.
During installation, maintain a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the inside wall of the pool
and spa.
Keep a minimum distance of 3 feet (0.9 meters) between the pump and the heater outlet.
Avoid installing the pump at a location higher than 10 feet (3.1 meters) above the water level.
Select a well-ventilated site for the pump, providing protection from excessive moisture, such as rain
gutter downspouts or sprinklers.
Allow at least 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) of rear clearance during installation to facilitate easy motor
removal for maintenance and repair.
Ensure the filter operates within the recommended pressure range and, if the system includes a
booster pump, use a pressure control valve.
If the pump is positioned higher than the water level, install a backwater control valve.
If the pump is situated lower than the water level, an isolation valve is necessary to prevent water from
flowing back during general inspections.
LOCATION
Pumps without strainer bodies require flooded suction (all fittings and piping below water level) and
won't self-prime. Install the pump below water level when the pool is filled, or use suction line valves for
priming. Minimize vertical distance if mounting above water level.
It's recommended to connect the pump to an external skimmer on the pool. This would help prevent
debris from entering the pump and ensures smoother operation.
Position the pump as close to the pool or spa as feasible, ensuring it is placed on a dry, well- ventilated
surface away from direct sunlight. Consider the following factors:
◦ Ensure proper drainage away from the pump.
◦ Provide adequate ventilation for the pump motor.
◦ Allow easy access for future servicing and winterizing needs.
◦ Protect the pump from exposure to the elements.
Do not install this pump and sand filter system within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot
tub or spa unless specific markings indicate its suitability for such installation.
Set the pump and sand filter system on a level concrete slab, stable ground, or an equivalent surface
to avoid straining the attached plumbing.
Position the filter carefully, considering the piping connections for easy operation and servicing.
Ensure that the compliance label is facing the front, making it easily identifiable in case of service
difficulties.
During installation, it is crucial to mechanically secure the pump and sand filter system to the included
system ray. Proper mechanical securing guarantees stability and safe operation of the pump and sand
filter system during its use.
Reduce the use of connecting adapters and minimize bending in the hose connections to decrease
water flow scrubbing and maximize effectiveness.
Avoid excessive application of solvents to fittings to prevent running into O-rings and causing sealing
problems.
Do not over-tighten fittings or adapters.
Ω
ELECTRICAL
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
It's crucial to follow the National Electrical Code and all relevant local codes and
ordinances. Going against these rules can result in a high risk of electrical shock,
potentially leading to severe injury, death, or property damage for individuals involved. To
prioritize safety and prevent potential hazards, adhering to electrical safety regulations and
guidelines is crucial.
Always ensure the power to the pump is disconnected from the power source before performing any
service or maintenance. Failure to do so can lead to severe injury or even death for service personnel, pool
users, or others due to electric shock, and may also result in property damage. Prior to servicing the pump,
ensure complete disconnection from the power source to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to
prevent any potential hazards or accidents.
Prior to commencing any work on the pump,
thoroughly read and familiarize yourself with all servicing
instructions. This practice ensures your understanding of the proper procedures and precautions necessary
for safe and effective pump servicing. Neglecting to do so may result in accidents, injuries, or damage to the
pump or surrounding equipment. Prioritize safety by carefully reviewing all instructions before undertaking any
maintenance tasks.

PRIMING THE PUMP
Before operating the pump, ensure it has been properly primed as water is essential for
cooling and lubricating the seal.
For pumps without strainer bodies located above water, close the suction line valve and fill the pump with
water for priming.
Pumps located below water level will self-prime if all piping is also below water level.
If any water leakage is observed from the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. In such cases, it is
essential to address the leakage issue before proceeding.
If no leakage occurs, you may proceed to start the pump. However, ensure that you stand at least 10
feet away from the pump and/or filter before starting it.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water cools and lubricates the
mechanical shaft seal. Running the pump dry can damage the seals, causing leaks, flooding, and voiding the
warranty.
OPERATION
If the circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during the water pressure
test, exercise caution and do not apply more than 10 PSI (0.69 BAR, this reading may vary depending on the
pool's pump and general piping system) pressure to the system.
When starting the circulating pump system, ensure that all suction and discharge valves
are OPEN, along with the filter air relief valve (if available) on the filter. This critical step is essential for proper
pump operation and to prevent potential severe personal injuries.

PRIMING THE PUMP (CONTINUED)
AFTER PRIMING THE PUMP
Once the pump is primed, activate the pump and open all suction and discharge line valves. Allow some time
for the pump to remove air from the suction lines. If there is no flow within five minutes, stop the pump and
re-prime. Check for air leaks and consult the Troubleshooting section if the pump does not operate properly.
Checking for Air Bubbles
After approximately ten minutes of operation, inspect the return fittings for air bubbles. Continuous air flow
indicates leaks in the suction line. Address any leaks immediately to prevent further issues.
Controlling Output
Keep the gate valve in the suction line fully open during pump operation.
If necessary to control the output, use a valve in the return line.
Never operate the pump with closed suction or discharge valves.
PRIMING THE PUMP (CONTINUED)
Run the pump for at least two minutes.
Turn off the pump and set the valve to the "FILTER" position. Ensure that all pool suction and
RETURN lines are open, allowing water to flow freely from and back to the pool. Stay clear of the filter
and start the pump.
The filter is now in its filtering cycle. Make sure water is returning to the pool and take note of the
operating pressure when the filter is clean.
Check the system for any water leaks. If a leak is found, shut off the pump before correcting the leak.
As the filter removes dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulation will cause the filter
pressure to rise and flow to diminish. When the pressure gauge reading is 5-10 PSI (0.0.34-0.69 BAR,
this reading may vary depending on the pool's pump and general piping system) higher than the clean
filter reading noted above (this reading may vary depending on the pool's pump and general piping
system), it is time to backwash the filter.
Always turn off the pump before adjusting the filter control valve to avoid strain on the
piping system and valves.
Regularly cleaning the pump and filter system is essential to prevent damage to the pump
and filter and ensure proper system operation.
Avoid installing 90° elbows directly into the pump inlet or outlet. This will help maintain
efficient pump operation.
Turn on the power and wait for the pump to prime, which may take up to ten (10) minutes. The priming time
depends on the vertical length of the suction lift and horizontal length of the suction pipe. If the pump does
NOT prime within 10 minutes, stop the motor, and identify the cause. Ensure all suction and discharge valves
are open when the pump is running. For troubleshooting guidance, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
By adhering to these safety and operational instructions, the proper functioning of the pump can be upheld,
and potential risks and damages can be avoided.
Verify all connections are secure.
Before filling a new pool with water, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned to prevent excessive dirt and large
particles from damaging the pump and filter.
Ensure all suction and discharge valves are fully open before starting the system.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
Before starting the pump, make sure the filter vessel is filled with water.
Starting the pump without water may cause damage to the pump.
Make sure all pool suction and WASTE lines are open, allowing water to flow freely from the pool to
the WASTE line. Depress and rotate the top mount valve handle to BACKWASH position.
Check the valve clamp to ensure it is properly tightened.
Prime and start the pump, allowing the filter tank to fill with water.
Once a steady water flow is observed from the WASTE line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes or
until the backwash water appears clean. This initial backwashing is essential to remove impurities and
fine sand particles from the silica sand media.
Turn off the pump and set the valve to the "RINSE" position. Ensure that all pool suction and WASTE
lines are open, allowing water to flow freely from the pool to the WASTE line. Do not dry run the sand
filter. Stay clear of the filter and start the pump.
It is vital to NEVER add undiluted chemicals directly into the pump suction of the pool/spa
system. Adding undiluted chemicals can damage the pump and void the warranty.

FILTER (Normal Operation)
For normal filtering and regular vacuuming.
Turn off the pump. Set the valve to the "FILTER" position for regular pool filtration. Then, start the
pump.
Occasionally check the pressure gauge to ensure pressure remains within the normal range 5-10 PSI
(0.0.34-0.69 BAR), this reading may vary depending on the pool's pump and general piping system.
After sufficient filtration, turn off the pump.
RECIRCULATE (Move The Water Around Without Filtering)
Only use the it for a short period of time when the filter is malfunctioning, there is a severe algal bloom in the
water, chemicals are being added to the pool, or after the filter has been backwashed
With the pump remaining off, set the valve to the "RECIRCULATE" position to circulate the pool water
without filtering it. Then start the pump.
After sufficient circulation, turn off the pump.

VALVE FUNCTIONS
Never operate the pump without water.
BACKWASH (Initial Run)
Use this setting to clean the filter. When the filter pressure gauge rises 5-10 PSI (0.0.34-0.69 BAR, this
reading may vary depending on the pool's pump and general piping system) above the start-up clean
pressure.
Turn off the pump and set the valve to the "BACKWASH" position.
Start the pump and backwash until the water in the sight glass is clear. This usually takes about 2
minutes or less, depending on the amount of dirt accumulated, and then turn off the pump. Proceed
to “RINSE”.
RINSE (Initial Run)
This ensures that all the dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the filter and goes to waste, preventing
possible return to the pool.
After backwashing, keep the pump off and set the valve to "RINSE" position and start the pump for
about 0.5 to 1 minute.
During rinsing, discharge water through the drain pipe. After sufficient rinsing, stop the pump, set the
valve to “FILTER”, and start the pump for normal filtering.

WASTE (Bypass Filter Media For Direct Water Exit)
It enables water to access the filter but avoids passing through the filter media, instead directing it to exit the
filtration system entirely. It aids in extracting leaves, dirt, and additional debris.
With the pump remaining off, set the valve to the "WASTE" position to prevent clogging of the filter
while vacuuming the pool. Then start the pump.
After sufficient flushing, turn off the pump.
CLOSED (Shut Off The Flow To The Filter and Pool)
This function involves shutting the valve to prevent water from entering, offering utility in clearing the lines
during the pool's opening process and during winterization to expel air through the suction lines, redirecting
airflow into the pool.
With the pump remaining off, set the valve to the "CLOSED" position to prevent water from entering.
Avoid activating the pool pump when the 7-way valve is set to CLOSED, as this could result
in damaging the filter, the pump, or both.
