2. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent the back flow of pool water
during any routine or required servicing.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) devices
are not compatible with installation of check valves. If
the pool has an SVRS device, be sure to confirm that it
will continue to safely operate when any check valves
are installed.
3. Install the pump such that any disconnecting
means and/or junction boxes for power connection
are withing sight of the pump and at least five (5)
feet horizontally from the edge of the pool and/or
spa. Choose a location that will minimize turns in
the piping.
NOTE: In Canada, the minimum distance maintained from the
edge of the pool and/or spa as noted above must be 3
meters (10 feet), as required by the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC, CSA C22.1).
4. The pump should be installed on a firm, solid,
and level surface to avoid risk of settlement. Do
not use sand to level the pump as sand will wash
away. Check local building codes for any additional
requirements (Ex. Equipment pads in Florida must
be concrete and equipment must be secured to
the pad.)
NOTE: Zodiac Pool Systems LLC recommends bolting the pump
directly to the foundation.

5. The pump foundation must have adequate drainage
to prevent the motor from getting wet. The pump
needs to be protected from the rain and sun.
6. Proper ventilation is required for the pump to
operate normally. All motors generate heat that
must be removed by providing proper ventilation.
7. Provide access for future service by leaving a clear
area around the pump. Allow plenty of space above
the pump to remove the lid and basket for cleaning.
8. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
3.1.3 Replacement of Existing Pump
Jandy FHPM pumps can be used to replace other
pumps in the aftermarket by utilizing the included
adjustable base and spacers. refer to Figure 3 for
a list of pumps that can be replaced and the base
configurations to use. Note the large base (Option 4) is
sold separately (R-kit R0546400).
3.1.3.1 Using Small Base with Spacers
1. Using a hand cutter tool, cut the plastic bars
connecting the top and bottom sets of spacers.
2. Push the two (2) top spacers and two (2) bottom
spacers out of the base.
3. Align the pins in the four (4) spacers with the holes
in the base and snap the spacers into place.
Base Configuration
1. Pump without Base
2. Pump with Base
