INSTALLATION
Locate pump as close to pool as possible and not more than 3 feet above pool

water level.
Pool
Pipe unions are provided with pump for ease of removal and installation.
Water
Pump mount must:
Pool Drain Line
• Be solid - level - rigid - vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress,
bolt pump to mount.)
• Allow pump suction inlet height to be at or below water level in pool.
• Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Pipe Joint
• Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
• Have adequate drainage to prevent flooding around equipment.
• Allow adequate ventilation to prevent motor overheating.
• Be protected from excess moisture.
• Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Use only teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik* if it is necessary to use a sealant be-

tween pipe and union adapter. Assemble union collar to pump dry and hand-
tight.
NOTICE: Do not use pipe joint compound with plastics; it causes cracking in
some plastics and may damage components in piping system.

stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe in beyond these stops.
Tighten the pump/trap fittings only as much as it is required to insure a tight
connection (1-1/2 turns past hand tight is sufficient). Overtightening may dam-
age the pump or trap. Use care when using teflon tape as friction is reduced
considerably; do not overtighten connections or you may damage pump or
trap. See Figure 4.
