MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket
The strainer pot is located at the front of the pump and
houses the pump strainer basket.
The strainer basket can be viewed through the strainer
pot lid and should be visually inspected at least once
a week. Regularly emptying and cleaning the strainer
basket will lead to higher lter and heater eciency and
prevent unnecessary stress on the pump motor.
TO CLEAN THE STRAINER BASKET:
1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump and shut o all
electrical power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Open the lter air relief valve and relieve all pressure
from the ltration system.
3. Turn the strainer pot lid counter-clockwise and
remove it from the pump.
4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace the
basket if it is cracked or damaged.
5. Place the basket into the strainer pot. Ensure the
notch in the bottom of the basket is aligned with the
rib in the bottom of the strainer pot.
6. Fill the strainer pot with water up to the inlet port.
7. Clean the lid O-ring and sealing surface of the strainer
pot.
Note: It is important to keep the lid O-ring clean and
well lubricated.
8. Reinstall the lid by placing it onto the strainer pot
and tightening clockwise until the lid handles are
horizontal.
Note: Ensure the lid O-ring is properly placed and is
not being pinched between the lid and strainer pot.
Note: Ensure that the side of the lid marked “Front”
is positioned at the front of the pump.
9. Open the lter air relief valve and stand clear of the
lter.
10. Reestablish electrical power to the pump at the circuit
breaker and start the pump.
11. When a steady stream of water ows from the lter air
relief valve, close the valve.
THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When
any part of the circulating system is serviced, air can enter the
system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause
the lid to separate which can result in serious injury, death, or
property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow above
instructions.
Winterizing
You are responsible for determining when freezing
conditions may occur. If freezing conditions are
expected, take the following steps to reduce the risk of
freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered under
warranty.
In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing
conditions may occur, run your ltering equipment all
night to prevent freezing.
TO PREVENT FREEZE DAMAGE:
1. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the pump.
2. Disconnect all power to the pump at the circuit
breaker.
3. Relieve all pressure from the ltration system at the
lter air relief valve.
4. Remove both drain plugs from the bottom of the
strainer pot and drain the pump. Store the plugs in
the strainer basket.
5. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow
and ice.
Note: Do not wrap motor with plastic or other air
tight materials during winter storage. Never cover
the motor when operating or expecting operation.
Strainer Pot Assembly
DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in
these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause
serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is
cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker and disconnect the digital input cable before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could
result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock. Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
