ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service
professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard
which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in deathor serious injury
toservice people, users or others due toelectric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.



To connect the pump to an AC power source:

1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off
before wiring motor.

2. Be sure that the supply line voltage matches the motor voltage
listed on the motor plate. If they do not match, permanent
motor damage may occur.

3. Use #12 THHN for wire runs up to 100 feet (30.5
meters) and #10 THHN for lengths longer than 100 feet
(30.5 meters). When i n doubt use a heavier gauge (larger
diameter) wire.

4. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical connections are
clean and tight.

5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do not overlap
or touch when connected.

6. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground wire. Use
the correct wire size and type. Make sure the ground wire is
connected to an electrical service ground.


7. Bond the motor to the pool structure. Run a wire from the
external bonding screw or lug to the pool bonding structure.

8. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug 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 2 feet of the inside walls of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub.

9. The pump should be permanently connected to a circuit breaker,
2-pole timer or 2-pole relay. If AC power is supplied by a
circuit breaker, use a dedicated circuit breaker that has no
other electrical loads.

Note: When the pump is started and stopped by removing
power with a relay or timer, a two-pole device should be
used to apply and remove power to both POWER LINE
TERMINALS.

OPERATING THE PUMP

DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If thisoccurs,
thedamagedseal must bereplaced. ALWAYSmaintainproperwaterlevel inyourpool (half way upskimmer opening). If thewater level
falls belowtheskimmer opening, thepumpwill drawair throughtheskimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in
a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and
seal and may cause property damage and personal injury.


Before turning the pump ON, be sure the following conditions are met:
1. Open filter air relief valve.
2. Open valves.
3. Pool return is completely open and clear of any blockages.
4. Water in the pump basket.
5. Stand clear of the filter or other pressurized vessels.

Priming the Pump

If the

pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close
return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on
pump. Be sure to reopen valves prior to operating.

Note: Running the pump dry could cause a loss of pressure,
resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal.

The pump strainer pot must be filled with water before the pump is
initially started. Follow the steps below to prime the pump:

1. Remove the pump lid and locking ring.

2. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.

3. Reassemble the pump lid and locking ring onto the strainer
pot. The pump is now ready to prime.

4. Open the air relief valve on the filter, and stand clear of the
filter.

5. Turn on the pump.

6. When water comes out of the filter air relief valve, close the
valve. The system should now be free of air and recirculating
water to and from the pool.

7. This pump will prime within 20 minutes. Do not allow your pump
to run longer than this time without developing full flow.

8. Two speed pumps should run on high speed for priming.

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 open with extreme caution.
To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
Pump Strainer Basket
The strainer basket (or strainer pot), is located in front of the
pump housing. The strainer basket must be kept clean and free of
debris. Inspect basket through the lid on the top of the housing.
Be sure to visually inspect the strainer basket at least once a
week. Dirty strainer baskets reduce filter and heater efficiency
and put abnormal stress on the pump motor.

Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket

1. Turn off the pump at the circuit breaker.

2. Relieve pressure in the system.

3. Turn the lid and locking ring counter-clockwise and remove
from the pump.

4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace the
basket if it is cracked.

5. Put the basket back into the housing. Be sure to align the notch
in the bottom of the basket with the rib in the bottom of the
volute.
6. Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water.
7. Clean the lid and locking ring, O-ring, and sealing surface
of the pump pot.

Note: It is important to keep the lid O-ring clean and well
lubricated.

8. Reinstall the lid by placing the lid and locking ring on the pot.
Be sure the lid O-ring is properly placed.
Seat the lid and locking ring on the pump then turn
clockwise until the locking ring handles are horizontal.

9. Open the manual air relief valve on top of the filter, and
stand clear of the filter.

10. Turn on the pump at the circuit breaker.
11. When water comes out of the air release valve, close the valve.





HIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH
PRESSURE. When any part of the circulating
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 separate which can result
in serious injury, death, or property damage.
To avoid this potential hazard, follow above
instructions.

FILTER OVERVIEW / ASSEMBLY
Your high rate Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filter is designed to filter out particles as small as five microns to produce
clear, sparkling water. The DE filter element life will vary with pool conditions such as bather load, wind, dust, etc. Water
enters the filter through the inlet port at the bottom of the filter and is distributed evenly across the DE filter element. The
dirt is removed by the element and the clean water flows through the outlet port at the bottom of the tank. The clean
water is then returned to the pool through the piping or hoses.



This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., clamp,
pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the lid or lock ring to separate which may result in serious injury,
death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.
1.Before the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the lid, or lock ring or any other service
of the circulating system:
(a) Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system is not
inadvertently started during the servicing;
(b) Open manual air relief valve;
(c) Wait until all pressure is relieved, pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter lock ring, follow the filter lid and lock ring installation
instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately (e.g.,
lock ring, pressure gauge, relief valve, o-rings, etc.).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.


After a period of time, dirt will accumulate in the filter element causing a resistance to the flow of water through
the filter. This resistance results in a diminished flow of water and a rise in the pressure of the filter. Eventually the filter
element will have removed so much dirt and the filter pressure risen to such a point that it will be necessary to clean your
filter.

The filters function is to remove suspended matter from the water. It does not sanitize the water. For sparkling
clear water, the water must be sanitized as well as balanced. Pool chemistry is a specialized area, and you should
consult your local pool service specialist for specific details. In general, proper pool sanitation requires a free chlorine
level of 1 to 2 PPM and a pH range of 7.2 to 7.6. Your filtration system should be designed to meet your local health
codes. As a minimum, you must be sure that your systems will turn over the total volume of water in your pool at least
twice in a twenty- four hour period.
Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity
obstructing visibility in your pool. Poor water clarity may obscure objects in the water which while
swimming and diving could cause serious personal injury or death. Never swim in a pool with
poor water clarity.

INSTALLATION

1. Read and understand all instructions before attempting to install operate or maintain your pump and DE filter
system.
2. Provide space and lighting for routine maintenance access.
Locate the system close to the pool. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers, control systems, etc.) at
least five (2) feet from the filter. This will allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.











Blockage of suction fittings can cause serious or fatal injury due to
drowning. To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
product.
Never work on the pump while it is running or power is still connected. High
voltage can cause serious or fatal injury. A suitable ground fault interrupter
should always be installed at the power supply source of this unit. Be sure
to ground the motor before connecting to electrical AC power supply.
Failure to ground the motor can cause serious or fatal electrical shock
hazard. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe line.
3. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that the instructions, warnings and
pressure gauge are visible to the operator. Also, position the filter so that the piping connections and drain port are
convenient and accessible for servicing.
4. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers control systems, etc.) at least five (2) feet from the filter. This will
allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.
5. Provide sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification that the lock ring is properly installed.
6. Provide sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid or for cleaning and servicing. This distance will vary with
the model of filter you are using.

Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. Position the filter and valve to
safely direct water drainage and purged air or water. Water discharged
from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical
hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as damage
property.


7. When installing the valve uses the O-ring only, there is no need for thread sealing compounds. Position the filter to
safely direct water drainage. Rotate valve to safely direct purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly
positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard as well as damage property.

8. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Filter plumbing connections are
provided with an O-ring seal. Use only a silicone base lubricant on the O-rings. Do not uses pipe joint compound, glue or
solvent on the bulkhead connections.

9. The base of this filter is provided with two (2) docking sleeves for the purpose of anchoring the filter to the concrete.

10. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50 psi. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this amount,
even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 50 psi can cause the lid to separate, which can result
in severe injury, death or property damage.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing
system, insure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most
cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

High Pressure:
Improper tank lid and lock ring assembly could cause
the lid to separate and cause serious injury and/or major
property damage.




If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an approved automatic Pressure Relief or
Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

11. Use sealant on all tapered male connections of pipes and fittings. Use only sealant compounds suited for plastic
pipe. Support pipe to prevent strains on filter, pump or valve. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS.
12. Install pressure gauge in 1/4 NPT port located in the tank lid.
13. Never store pool chemicals within ten (10) feet of your pool filter or pump. Pool chemicals should always be
stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.


Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause serious corrosion to the filter
and pump structural components. Structurally weakened components can cause
filter, pump or valve attachments to separate and could cause serious bodily injury or
property damage.

The systems centrifugal pump operates with electrical voltage, and
can generate both vacuum and pressure in the water system. When properly wired
and plumbed, this pump will operate in a safe manner.

High voltage can cause serious or fatal injury.



14. Avoid over tightening the pipe threads when connecting fittings to the pump or filter. Proper procedure is to apply
a pipe sealant to the thread and then install hand tight plus one turn. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

INITIAL START-UP
1. This filter operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air in the water
system, this filter will operate in a safe manner.
2. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50 psi. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this
amount - even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 50 psi can cause the lid to separate,
which can result in severe injury, death or property damage. When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when
testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system, insure that the Maximum Pressure that the
filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF
THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on
each component of the system. If you are not sure what the system pressure will be, install an approved automatic
Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the
components in the system.

This filter operates under pressure. With the lock ring and lid installed
properly and operated without air in the system, this filter will operate in a
safe manner. Air entering the filter and the lock ring or lid not installed
correctly can cause the lid to separate, which could cause serious
personal injury and/or property damage.

DO NOT attempt to disassemble or adjust the filter unless
you fully understand it's operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the
equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool service professional for
maintenance and service assistance.

1. Be sure all connections have been made and are secure.
2. Make sure the hair and lint pot of the pump is filled with water. Failure to fill the hair and lint pot with
water will result in damage to the pump and pump seal.
3. Open the air relief valve until it snaps into the full open position. This only requires a turn
counterclockwise.
4. STAND CLEAR OF THE FILTER. Start the pump allowing the filter tank to fill with water. Close the air
relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.
5. Remove the skimmer lid; put the recommended amount of diatomaceous earth (D.E) into the skimmer.
The D.E. will be drawn into the filter and deposited evenly upon the element cartridge. Now the filter is
providing the pool with bright, clean water.

NOTE: DO NOT OPERATE FILTER WITHOUT D.E. CHARGE FOR MORE THAN TWO MINUTES.
DO NOT USE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF D.E. IN YOUR FILTER.

6. Your filter has now started its filter cycle. You should check that the water is returning to the pool and take note
of the operating pressure.
7. Check the system for water leaks. If a leak is found, shut off pump before correcting leak.
8. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge in good
working order.
9. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 8-10 psi higher than the original starting pressure. Your filter
pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this buildup of pressure will vary due to
different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.

THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Open the valve until it snaps into the full open position (this only requires a quarter turn counterclockwise).
Opening this valve rapidly releases air trapped in the filter.
2. Stand clear of the filter tank, and then start the pump.
3. Close the valve after a steady stream of water appears.
4. The system is not working properly if either of the following conditions occurs.
a. A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds, after the pump's inlet basket fills with water.
b. The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water outflow appears. If either condition exists, shut off
the pump immediately, open valves in the water return line to relieve pressure, and clean the valve.

The following information should be read carefully since it outlines the proper
manner of care and operation for your filter system. As a result of following these
instructions and taking the necessary preventative care, you can expect maximum
efficiency and life from your filtration system.

CLEANING THE FILTER

1. Turn the pump off, shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during
servicing.
2. Open the filter valve, (and the waste drain valve, or cap, if your system has one).
3. Remove hair and lint strainer pot lid and clean basket. Replace basket and secure lid.
4. Disconnect air relief drain hose if installed.
5. Remove locking ring by depressing safety latches on both sides of ring and rotates counterclockwise, then remove
tank lid.
6. Remove the DE Cartridge style element assembly by placing hands in lifting handles and pulling straight up on the
element assembly.
7. Using a garden hose with a nozzle, direct water spray at the element to dislodge and wash away accumulated
foreign matter.
8. Clean and remove debris from inside the filter tank and from O-ring and O-ring groove on tank body.
9. Replace the clean element assembly into the filter tank body, making sure it is fully seated. Align the arrow on the handle frame with
inlet port of filter.
10. Replace the tank lid onto the tank body making sure it is fully and firmly seated on the tank body.
11. Place lock ring over tank lid, and centering the lock ring on the threads of the tank body, turn the lock ring clockwise
until the safety latches click and the lock ring hits the stops on the body. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVER-TIGHTEN THE
LOCK RING AFTER LOCK RING HAS HIT THE STOPS ON THE BODY.


Any time the filter tank is opened, and/or element assembly is removed, be sure to generously
coat the O-ring with silicone lubricant before reassembling the unit. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM
BASED LUBRICANTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DETERIORATING EFFECT ON RUBBER.

12. Replace drain cap and reinstall air relief valve drain hose if used.

REPLACING FILTER ELEMENT
Element life will vary with pool conditions such as bather load, wind, dust, etc. You can expect an average media life of
three years under normal conditions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A. Air entering your filter is dangerous and can cause the lid to separate.
Correct any conditions in your filtration system that allows air to enter the system.
1. Some common ways to identify air entering the system:

a. Low water level in pool or spa - skimmer is starving for water with pump running. Add water to pool or spa.
b. Air bubbles or low water level in pump hair and lint pot are caused by; low water level, clogged skimmer basket, split
suction cleaner hose, leak in pump hair and lint pot lid, or leak in pump suction line.
c. Air bubbles coming out of water return lines into pool or spa with pump running.
d. Air is discharged from the air relief valve on top of the filter when the valve is opened with the pump running.

B. Until the water initially put into the pool has been completely filtered, short filter cycles in between cleanings are normal.
In most cases pool owners are dismayed by the undesirable color and appearance of water in a newly filled pool. Plaster
dust can be responsible for short filter cycles, requiring frequent cleaning.

C. If pressure drops on gauge, check skimmer basket and pump basket first for debris. If the baskets are clean, shut off
power to pump and turn off any automatic controls. Then turn motor shaft with your fingers. If it turns freely then the pump
must be disassembled and the impeller checked to see if it is clogged. If it is not clogged then there is an obstruction in the
line between the pool and the pump.

D. The pressure gauge is an important part of the filter system. It is your primary indicator of how the system is operating.
Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. Check the operation of your pressure gauge in the following manner:

1. The pressure gauge should go to zero (0) when the system is turned off and pressure is relieved.
2. The pressure gauge should indicate pressure when the system is operating.
3. The pressure gauge should be readable and not damaged in any way.
4. Replace the pressure gauge if it is not meeting the requirements of items D.1 through D.3 of this section, above.



Problem Cause Action
Pool water not
sufficiently clean.
1. Pool chemistry not adequate to inhibit algae
growth.

2. Too frequent an element cleaning cycle.

3. Inadequate turnover rate.
Maintain pool chemistry or consult service
technician.

Allow pressure to build to 10psi above clean filter condition
before cleaning element.

Run system for longer time or consult dealer or pool service
technician.
Higher filter pressure. 1. Insufficient element cleaning

2. Partially closed valve or restriction.
Clean until all debris is removed.

Open valve or remove obstruction in return line.
Short filter cycles. 1. Improper element cleaning

2. Pool chemistry not adequate to inhabit algae
growth.

3. Flow rate too high.
Clean until all debris is removed.

Maintain pool chemistry or consult pool service
technician.

Restrict flow to capacity of filter.
Return flow to pool
diminished, low filter
pressure.
1. Obstruction in the pump hair and lint pot.

2. Obstruction in pump.

3. Obstruction in suction line to pump.
Clean basket in strainer.
Disassemble and clean pump.
Clean skimmer basket. Remove obstruction in lines.

Open valves in suction line.
