Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long time (see instructions below).
Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do not cover pump with plastic. For outdoor/unprotected installations:
1.Enclose entire system in a weatherproof enclosure.
2.To avoid condensation/corrosion damage, allow ventilation; do not wrap system in plastic.
3.Use a 40% propylene glycol/60% water solution to protect pump to
Draining Pump
1. Pump down water level below all inlets to the pool.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump.
2.Remove trap cover and use low pressure air to blow accumulated water from the piping system. Use a pry bar or board to remove trap covers that have been overtightened or have taken a set and cannot be removed by hand. Lugs have been provided on the trap lid to use a lever or pry bar for loosening (see Figure 5).
3.Cap inlet piping after draining to keep water out of the pipes.
4.To prevent pump from freezing, remove trap cover and drain the tank body through the two drain plugs provided. Clean pump thoroughly; replace trap cover.
NOTICE: Tighten trap cover by hand only (no wrenches)! If pump is not anchored, use caution to not break attached piping!
5.Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.
