3. Installation

3.1 Location

NOTICE: Be sure the pump location meets
the following requirements:
1. Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or
beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked
accordingly.
2. Ensure that the pump is mechanically secured to the
equipment pad.
3. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. To
reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short, direct
suction and return piping.
4. Install a minimum of 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the inside
wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require
a minimum of 9.8 feet (3 meters) from the inside wall of the
pool.
5. Install the pump a minimum of 3 feet (.9 meters) from the
heater outlet.
6. Do not install the pump more than 10 feet (3.1 meters)
above the water level.
7. Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected from
excess moisture (such as rain gutter downspouts,
sprinklers, etc.).

8. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 3
inches (7.6 cm) so that the motor can be removed easily
for maintenance and repair. See Figure 3.
9. Leave a minimum of one (1) feet (30 cm) of clearance
above the pump for removal of the strainer basket.

3.2 Piping

1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a
larger pipe size.
2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the
same or larger than the return line diameter.
3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as
short as possible.
4. For most installations, always install a valve on both the
pump suction and return lines so that the pump can be
isolated during routine maintenance. However, we also
recommend that a valve, elbow, or tee installed in the
suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump
than five (5) times the suction line diameter. See Figure 3.
Example: A 2.5 inch pipe requires a 12.5 inch (31.8cm)
straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump.
