Voltage

Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company.

Grounding And Bonding

Install, ground, bond, and wire motor in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.

Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use size and type wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.

Bond motor to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a continuous wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could potentially cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring procedures.

Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.

Wiring

WARNING – All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.

Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch.

Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and disconnect power before it becomes dangerous to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufacturer’s instructions. In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary.

Start-Up & Operation

Prior to Start-Up

NOTE - If it is necessary to perform a pressure test, prior to initial use to ensure pump is functioning properly, then the following criteria should be maintained for this test:

1.Have a professional perform this test.

2.Ensure all pump and system components are sealed properly to prevent leaks.

3.Remove any trapped air in the system by fully opening filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water mix) is discharged from the valve.

4.Allow no more than 50 psi (345 kPa) at a water temperature no higher than 100° F (38° C).

5.Run pressure test for no longer than 24 hours. Immediately inspect all parts to verify they are intact and functioning properly.

WARNING - If pump is being pressure tested (50 PSI MAXIMUM), be sure pressure has been released, using the filter manual air relief valve, before removing strainer cover.
