DANGER HAZARDS RELATED TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT: stay away from all suction outlets and the main drain! in addition, this pump is not equipped with a safety vacuum release system (SVRS) protection. in order to prevent accidents, please prevent your body or hair from being sucked by the water pump inlet.
At the main water line, the pump produces a strong vacuum and a high level of suction. Adults and children can be trapped underwater if they are near drains, loose or broken drain covers or grates. A swimming pool or spa covered with non-approved materials or one with a missing, cracked, or broken cover can cause limb entrapment, hair entanglement, body entrapment, evisceration, and/or death.
There are several causes of suction at drains and outlets:
Limb Entrapment: A mechanical bind or swelling occurs when a limb is sucked into an opening. Whenever there is a problem with a drain cover, such as a broken, loose, cracked or improperly fastened one, this hazard occurs.
Hair Entanglement: The tangle or knotting of the swimmer’s hair in the drain cover, resulting in the swimmer being trapped underwater, When the flow rating of the cover is too low for the pump or pumps, this hazard may arise.
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the swimmer’s body is trapped under the drain cover. When the drain cover is damaged, missing, or not rated for the pump, this hazard arises..
Evisceration/Disembowelment: A suction from an open pool (usually a child’s wading pool) or spa outlet causes severe intestinal damage to a person. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. If the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured, this hazard exists.
NOTE: THE PLUMBING FOR SUCTION MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST LOCAL AND NATIONAL CODES.
WARNING
IN ORDER TO REDUCE INJURY RISKS FROM SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS:
- Each drain must be equipped with an ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment suction cover.
- Each suction cover should be installed minimum three (3′) feet apart measuring between the dosest points.
- Check all covers for cracks, damage, and advanced weathering regularly.
- Replace a cover if it becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken, or missing.
- Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.
- Avoid getting close to any suction cover, pool drain, or outlet with your hair, limbs, or body.
- Suction outlets can be disabled or reset into return inlets
WARNING pump in the plumbing system’s suction side. The high level of suction can pose a threat to those in close proximity to the suction openings. This high vacuum can cause serious injuries or cause people to become trapped and drown. Swimming pool suction plumbing must be installed according to the latest national and local codes,
WARNING A clearly identified emergency shut-off switch for the pump should be located in a highly visible location. Ensure that all users know where it is located and how to use it in case of an emergency.
The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act establishes new requirements for commercial swimming pool and spa owners and operators,
On or after December 19, 2008, commercial pools and spas must use:
A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction outlet covers complying with ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a Suction Fittings for Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either.

(2) Suction-limiting vents that have been properly designed and tested
(3) System for shutting off pumps automatically
Pools and spas constructed before December 19, 2008, with a single submerged suction outlet, must use a suction outlet cover that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a or either:
(A) A SVRS compatible to ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or
(B) Suction-limiting vents that have been properly designed and tested or
(C) System for shutting off pumps automatically, or
(D) Submerged outlets can be disabled or
(E) Reconfiguration of suction outlets into return inlets is required.
CAUTION Installing electrical controls at the equipment pad (ON/OFF switches, timers, and automation load centers)
Ensure that all electrical controls are installed at the equipment pad, including switches, timers, and control systems. To prevent the user from putting his/her body over or near a pump strainer lid, filter lid, or valve closure when starting, shutting down, or servicing a pump or filter.
During system start-up, shutdown, or servicing of the filter, the user should be able to stand far enough away from the filter and pump.
DANGER
When starting up, keep the filter and pump away from your body.
When parts of a circulating system are serviced (i.e, locking rings, pumps, filters, valves, etc.) air can enter and pressurize the system. It is possible for the pump housing cover, filter lid, and valves to violently separate when subjected to pressurized air. You must secure the strainer cover and filter tank lid to prevent violent separation.
When turning on or starting up the pump, keep all circulation equipment clear of you. You should note the filter pressure before servicing the equipment, Make sure that the pump controls are set so that it cannot start inadvertently during service.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the filter manual air relief valve is in the open position and wait for all pressure in the system to be released. Open the manual air relief valve fully and put all system valves in the “open” position before starting the system. Make sure you stand clear of any equipment when starting the system.
IMPORTANT: If the filter pressure gauge is higher than the pre-service condition, don’t close the manual air relief valve until all pressure has been released from the valve and a steady stream of water appears
Information about Installation:
- There is a requirement that all work be performed by a qualified service professional and in accordance with all national, state, and local regula-tions.
- Ensure that electrical components are properly drained in the compart-ment.
- There are several models of pump included in these instructions, so some may not apply to a specific model. All models are geared toward swimming pool use. If the pump is properly sized for the specific applica-tion and properly installed, it will function correctly.
WARNING
The improper size, installation, or use of pumps in applications for which they were not designed can result in serious personal injury or death. There are a number of risks involved, including electric shocks, fires, flooding, suction entrapment, severe injury to others or property damage as a result of structural failures in pumps or other system components.

Drive Overview:
The pump is equipped with a variable speed, high efficiency motor that provides fiexibility in terms of motor speed. There are settings for duration and intensity. Pumps are designed to run continuously maintaining a sanitary environment at the lowest possible speed, minimizing the consumption of energy while protecting the environment.
DANGER
Pump is rated for 115/208-230 Volts nominal, Only for other applications may cause damage, personal injury or damage to equipment.
The integrated electronics interface controls the speed and the duration of the run. The pumps can operate at speeds ranging from 450 to 3450 revolutions per minute (RPM). The pump is designed to operate within the voltage range of 115/280-230 volts at either 50 or 60Hz input frequency.
Itis usually best to set the pump following our factory setting in order to minimize energy consumption; the fastest speed for the longest duration leads to more consumption of energy. However, the optimal settings can be influenced by a number of factors, such as the size of the pool, environ- mental conditions and the number of water features. Pumps can be programmed according to adapt to your specific needs.
INSTALLATION DIAGRAM
INSTALLATION
Installation Advice:
It is essential to only use a qualified professional to ensure a safe and successful installation. Failure to follow this instruction correctly could result in serious injury or property damage.
LOCATION:
NOTE: It is important to note that when installing this pump, it should not be placed within an outer enclosure or underneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa, unless it is marked accordingly.
Note: it is essential to ensure that the pump is mechanically secured to the equipment pad for proper functioning.
Make sure the pump can match the below requirements:
- It is important to install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. This will reduce friction loss and improve the overall efficiency of the pump. To further reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, it is recom mended to use short, direct suction and return piping.
- It is important to ensure that there is a minimum of 5′ (1.5 m) between the inside wall of the pool and spa and any other structures, For any Canadian installations, a minimum of 9.8′ (3 m) from the inside wall of the pool must be maintained.
- It is important to install the pump at least 3′ (0.9 m) away from the heater outlet.
- It is important to remember to not install the self-priming pump more than 8′ (2.6 m) above the water level.
- it is important to choose a well-ventilated location that is protected from excess moisture.
- Please keep at least 3″ from the rear of motor and 6″ from the top of control pad for easy maintenance and repair,
- CAUTION – To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool.
PIPING:
- The Piping diameter on the intake of the pump should be the same or larger than the one of the discharge.
- The shorter of plumbing on the suction side is better.
- A valve on both suction and discharge lines is recommended for easy maintenance and repair.
- Any valve, elbow installed in the suction line should be at least five (5) times of suction line diameter from the discharge port, For example, a 2″ pipe requires a 10 straight line before the suction port of the pump, as below drawing
Fittings and Valves:
- 90° elbows directly into pump intake & discharge are NOT allowed.
- Installing gate valves on suction and discharge pipes is an important part of any flooded suction system, as it allows for maintenance and other activities to be carried out more easily. However, the suction gate valve should not be placed any closer than five times the diameter of the suction pipe.
- Using a check valve in the discharge line is highly recommended for any application of this pump where there is significant plumbing height after the pump.
- It is important to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with another pump to ensure proper functioning. Check valves help to prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.
Electrical Installation:
DANGER

Priming:
CAUTION
The pump is preset with priming mode for 10 minutes at 3450RMP when it starts each time.
ALARM: The pump should never run without water. Otherwise, the shaft
seal is damaged and the pump starts to leak, it is essential that the seal is replaced. To avoid this, it is important to maintain the proper water level in your pool, filling it to half way up the skimmer opening. If the water falls below this level, the pump could draw in air, leading to a loss of prime and the pump running dry and causes a damaged seal, which can cause a loss of pressure, leading to damage to the pump body, impeller and seal and result in both property damage and potential personal injury.
Check before the initial startup
– Check that the shaft turns freely.
Check whether the power supply voltage and frequency are consistent with the nameplate.
– Check for obstructions in the pipe.
– A system should be configured to prevent the pump from starting when there is no minimum water level.
– Check the rotation direction of the motor, it should be consistent with the indication on the fan cover. If the motor won’t start, try to find the problem in the table of most common faults and see possible solutions.
Start
Open all valves and power on the motor, check the circuit breaker current of the motor, and adjust the overheat protector appropriately.
Turn on the power, the POWER indicator light is on, and the inverter is in the stop state. The system time(set it match your local time) and icon are displayed on the LCD screen. Press the
key, the water pump starts or stands by, and runs at a speed of 3450r/min for 10 minutes each time it starts (Note 1). At this time, the LCD screen displays the system time,

MAINTENANCE
Alarm:
It is important to be aware that if the pump fails to prime or has been operating without water in the strainer pot, it should not be opened. This is because the pump may contain a build up of vapor pressure and scalding hot water, which could result in serious personal injury if opened. To ensure safety and avoid potential personal injury, all suction and discharge valves must be opened carefully, Additionally, you should verify that the strainer. pot temperature is cool to the touch before proceeding to open the valves with extreme caution.
Attention:
To ensure that the pump and system remain in optimal working condition, it is important to clean the pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
Alarm:
Before servicing the pump, turn off the circuit breaker. Electric shock could kill or seriously injure service workers, users, or others if this is not done. Before servicing the pump, read all servicing instructions.
Cleaning The Pump Strainer & Skimmer Basket:
It is highly recommended to check the Strainer Basket as frequently as. possible to clean up the trash. The safety instruction is as follows:
- Press Stop/Start to stop the pump.
- Turn off power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
- In order to relieve all pressure from the filtration system, the filter air relief valve must be activated.
- To remove the strainer pot lid, twist it in a counterclockwise direction.
- Take the strainer basket out from the strainer pot.
- Clean up the trash from Basket,
Note: If there is any cracks or damage on the basket, replace it with a new one. - Carefully lower the basket into the strainer pot, making sure that the notch in the bottom of the basket is aligned with the rib on the bottom of the pot.
- The strainer pot should be filled with water up to the inlet port,
- The lid, O-ring and sealing surface should be Cleaned carefully.
Note: Keeping the lid O-ring clean and well lubricated is essential to maintain the life and performance of the pump. - Install the lid onto the strainer pot and turn the lid clockwise in order to lock it securely into place.
Note: In order to properly lock the lid, the handles need to be nearly perpendicular to the pump body. - Turn on power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
- Open the filter air relief valve
- Keep away from the filter and turn on the pump.
- To bleed air from the filter air relief valve, open the valve and let the air escape until a steady stream of water appears
DANGER Filter, Valves, and so on) are running under high pressure, Pressurized air can be a potential hazard because it can cause the lid to be exploded off, potentially resulting in serious injury, death, or property damage. In order to avoid this potential hazard, please follow above safety instructions.
Winterizing:
It is important to note that freeze damage is not covered under warranty. If freezing temperatures are predicted, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of freeze damage.
- Press Stop/Start to stop the pump.
- Turn off power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
- In order to relieve all pressure from the filtration system, the filter air relief valve must be activated.
- Carefully unscrew two drain plugs from the bottom of the strainer pot, and allow the water to drain completely. Place the drain plugs in the strainer basket for storage.
- It is important to cover your motor when exposed to extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow and ice.
Note: Wrapping the motor with plastic or any other airtight material is prohibited, When the motor is in use, or when it is expected to be in use,
MUST NOT cover the motor,
