4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Plumbing Connections
The pump features 1-1/2 inch intake and discharge connections. Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and watertight to prevent leaks. Use appropriate PVC piping (SCH40 1.5 inches PVC pipe is recommended) and fittings for installation.
Video 1: This video demonstrates the adjustment of discharge location and general plumbing connections for a spa pump. While the model shown (LINGXIAO 56WUA400-II) is different, the principles for adjusting discharge and connecting plumbing are generally applicable to similar bath pumps.
4.2 Electrical Connections
The pump operates on 115V and draws 7.5A. It comes with a 3-foot NEMA power cord. Ensure the electrical supply matches the pump's requirements. The pump is equipped with an air switch. If the motor does not start upon plugging it in, the switch may be in the off position. Always connect to a GFCI-protected grounding type receptacle.
Video 2: This video illustrates the wiring process for a single-speed pump. Although the specific model (Key Lander 48WTC0153C-I) differs from the Waterway Genesis pump, the general electrical connection principles for 115V systems are similar and can provide guidance for proper wiring.
4.3 Circulation Pump Requirement
It is crucial to use a dedicated circulation pump with a power of more than 1 HP to ensure sufficient water flow. Using a pump with less than 1 HP may result in insufficient water flow, affecting performance.

5. Operation
The Waterway Genesis Bath Pump is a single-speed unit. To operate, ensure all plumbing and electrical connections are correctly installed and secured. Plug the pump into a GFCI-protected outlet. If the pump does not start, check the air switch, as it may be in the 'off' position. The pump will then circulate water through your bath system.
6. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the pump and all connections for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
- Keep the motor free from debris and ensure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
- Clean the pump's wet end and impeller as needed to maintain optimal performance.
- For prolonged periods of non-use, especially in cold climates, drain the pump to prevent freezing damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | Air switch in 'off' position | Check and activate the air switch. |
| No power supply | Check power cord, GFCI, and circuit breaker. | |
| Low water flow | Insufficient circulation pump power | Ensure circulation pump is >1 HP. |
| Clogged impeller or plumbing | Inspect and clear any obstructions. | |
| Unusual noise | Air in the system | Bleed air from the system. |
| Loose mounting or worn bearings | Check mounting bolts; contact service for bearing issues. |
