• Place the pump on a firm, level surface, ensuring it is at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the pool's edge.
• Ensure the location is well-ventilated and protected from direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions.
• The pump should be positioned below the water level of the pool to facilitate priming.

4.2 Electrical Connection

The VEVOR HAP750 pump operates on 120V / 60Hz. All electrical wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician and comply with local and national electrical codes.

• Ensure the power supply matches the pump's voltage requirements (120V).
• Connect the pump to a dedicated, grounded circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
• Utilize the provided grounding terminals to ensure the pump is properly grounded.

4.3 Plumbing Connection

• Connect the pool's skimmer line (suction) to the pump's inlet.
• Connect the pump's outlet to the pool's return line (to the filter, then back to the pool).
• Use appropriate hose adapters (1-1/2" and 2" connection adapters are typically included) and hose clamps to ensure a watertight seal.
• Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks, which can affect pump performance.

5.1 Priming the Pump

Before starting the pump for the first time or after draining, it must be primed to ensure it is filled with water and free of air.

1. Ensure all valves are open, allowing water to flow from the pool to the pump.
2. Remove the transparent lid from the strainer basket.
3. Fill the strainer basket housing completely with water.
4. Replace the lid, ensuring it is securely tightened to create an airtight seal.
5. Turn on the pump. It should begin to draw water from the pool.
6. If the pump does not prime within a few minutes, turn it off, re-fill the strainer housing, and repeat the process.

5.2 Starting the Pump

Once primed, the pump is ready for operation.

• Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and leak-free.
• Verify that the filter system (if applicable) is correctly set for filtration.
• Turn on the power to the pump. The pump will begin circulating water.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your pump.
