General Information - Pentair Pool Products Ultra-Flow Manuel Du Propriétaire

When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you must use a No. 8 AWG or
larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not
use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it
cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07m).
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so
marked.
SECTION I. GENERAL INFORMATION.
A. THE PUMP STRAINER.
This unit, sometimes referred to as the 'Hair and Lint Pot', is the unit in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the basket which must
be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the 'See Through Lid' to inspect for leaves and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at least once
a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an abnormal stress on the pump motor which
would result in a costly repair bill.
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer
baskets regularly.
It is important that the O-ring be kept clean and well lubricated. We recommend a silicone base lubricant for best results.
B. CLEANING PROCEDURES.

6. Replace the basket, fill the pot with water.
7. Reinstall the lid by placing the clamp and lid on the pot so that the indicated range

properly placed.

pot, see Figure 1. Hand-tighten until the indicator arrow on the volute is within the
range indicated on the clamp ring.
