INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections
The power cord must be connected to a constant source of power matching the voltage specified on the
pump nameplate.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
• Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by
code.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, the whole unit must be replaced.
Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump, discharge or electrical plug when
water is present in the area. Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Always connect pump to grounded receptacle. See SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
1. The pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to help
prevent possible electrical shock hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
2. A separate branch electrical circuit is recommended. The electrical power required is 5 amps at 230
VAC.
3. Be sure that electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should
the connection be located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
4. If you have a GFCI outlet, test GFCI device per the GFCI manufacturer's instructions.
5. After all electrical connections have been made, test the operation of the pump system by following
the instructions in "Operation" section of this manual. Do not attempt to operate the pump without
water; this will damage the seals and bearings and could result in permanent damage to the pump.
Operation
Become familiar with the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS throughout this manual. During the rainy season,
check daily to confirm that the pump is functioning properly. Also, if high winds or excessive movement
of the pool cover is experienced, be certain that the pump is still upright, with the discharge hose prop-
erly positioned. If you plan to be away from your pool for extended periods of time, arrange for some-
one to periodically check the pool cover pump, and verify that everything is still functioning properly.
Be sure to review the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and electrical shock hazards with them!
To test the operation of the pump, run water into area where pump is placed until the pump is acti-
vated. Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the
pump.
The pump is activated by an integral float switch. The pump should come on when the water level is
approximately 2½" deep and remain running until the water level is approximately 1" deep. NOTE: Tem-
peratures near freezing may cause the "ON" level to go as high as 4", and the "OFF" to be as high as 2".
Confirm that the pump and its control switch are functioning as intended. Confirm that the ON/OFF lev-
els are within specification. Confirm that the discharge hose is positioned so that the discharged water
does not run back onto the pool cover.
