SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a grounding
type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the
receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
WARNING: Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize damage
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged
cord immediately. Contact the manufacturer for replacement of
the power cord.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
extension cord to connect pump to electric supply; provide a
properly located outlet.
Never pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with this pump. This
could damage the integrity of the enclosure and cause an electrical
short. This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Never pump gasoline or other low flash point fluids with this pump.
Explosion or fire could result. This pump has been evaluated for
use with water only.
Do not run this pump dry. Running this pump without water may
damage the integrity of the enclosures and cause electrical short.
If service is required, proceed carefully. The pump and surrounding
areas may be covered with water. Never plug or unplug the device
while standing in wet or damp surfaces. If necessary, remove
power at the breaker panel or have certified electrician remove
power before attempting to service. Serious or fatal shocks could
result if proper procedures are not followed. Disconnect the power
at the main electrical service box by switching the appropriate
circuit breaker or removing fuse. In applications where screw type
fuses are used, remove only the one hand while other hand or torso

is free from contact with anything. Do not stand in water or do not
touch any other conductive surfaces.
Remove pump when freezing conditions will cause water to
freeze. Freezing water may result in rupture to pump and/or switch
enclosure and could result in possible electrical short.

CAPACITY SIZING INFORMATION
The 1700 GPH performance was obtained through a 1 inch I.D.
tube, with friction losses neglected. Using a 3/4" garden hose 50
foot long reduces this performance to approximately 500 gallons
per hour due to friction losses in the hose. If your area frequently
has heavy rainfalls, (1" - 2" per hour), it may be necessary to use 1"
tubing. This should be available in most pool supply stores.
The number of gallons of water that your pool will collect in a rainfall
of one inch per hour can be computed as follows: Cover overall
length (ft.) x cover overall width (ft.) x .6234 = gallons per hour.
NOTE: This is cover dimension, and not pool dimension.
Examples:
A 16' x 32' pool cover would collect 319 gallons (16 x 32 x .6234 =
319) in 1 hour, in 1" per hour rain.
A 20' x 40' pool cover would collect 499 gallons (20 x 40 x .6234 =
499) in 1 hour, in 1" per hour rain.
INSTALLATION
1. Be certain electrical outlet to be used meets the requirements
of the National Electrical code, as well as local electrical
codes, including grounding, and GFCI protection. Also verify
that outlet is properly sized and located for this pump. Your
installation may require a certified electrician, or plumber. See
ELECTRICAL section.
2. If necessary, check your plumbing codes to verify that final
installation will be in compliance with their requirements.
3. Connect a garden hose to the hose adaptor, or use a 1" nipple
and flexible PVC tubing secured to the pump discharge.
NOTE: If flexible 1" PVC tubing is used, secure the free end so
that it cannot blow back onto the pool cover in high wind.
4. Gently lower the pump onto the pool cover by holding onto
the garden hose. Do not pull the power cord plug onto the
pool cover. The pump is equipped with an eyelet opposite the
discharge for attaching a positioning rope (not included). Use
rope and a garden hose to position pump onto the pool cover.
Two people should position the pump, with the first person holding
the electrical cord plug and the second person positioning the
pump at the desired location on the pool cover. The pump is
equipped with an 18 AWG, 25-foot power cord with a 3-prong,
grounding-type plug.
5. Once the pump is in position and proper electrical connections
have been made, it is ready for testing. See the ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS section.
During the rainy season, check daily to ensure that the pump is
functioning properly. During high winds or excessive movement of
the pool cover, be certain that the power supply cord has not been
pulled onto the cover, and that the pump is still upright with the
discharge hose properly positioned. If you plan to be away from
your pool for an extended period, have someone periodically check
your pump to verify that everything is functioning properly. Be sure to
review the SAFETY GUIDELINES and ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
sections with them.
