of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean to
improve the performance of the pump.
1. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below the water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent backflow of water.
2. Turn the lid's locking ring counter-clockwise until
'START' aligns with the ports. Carefully remove the
lid.
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be
improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could
result in pump damage.
3. Lift the basket out of the pump.
4. Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean the
basket, making sure all the holes are open. Using
a garden hose, spray the basket from the outside to
help clear the holes. Remove any remaining debris
by hand.
5. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the
opening with the suction pipe. If aligned properly,
the basket will drop easily into place. Do not force
it into place.
6. Remove the lid seal and remove debris around the lid
seal seat, as this can allow air to leak into the system.
Clean the lid seal and place it on the lid.
7. Replace the lid with locking ring. Hand-tighten the
lid to make an air-tight seal. Do not use any tools to
tighten the lid: hand-tighten only.
8. Verify that all valves have been returned to the
proper position for normal operation.
9. Open the pressure release valve on the filter, and
make sure it is clean and ready for operation.
10. Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the air has
been evacuated from the filter, close the pressure
release valve.

Winterizing the Pump

The pump must be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump
to freeze will cause severe damage and void the
warranty.
Do not use antifreeze solutions in the pool,
spa, or hot tub systems! Antifreeze is highly toxic
and may damage the circulation system. The only
exception to this is Propylene Glycol. For more
information, see your local pool/spa supply store or
contact a qualified swimming pool service company.
1. Drain all water from the pump, system equipment,
and piping.
2. Remove the two (2) drain plugs. Store the drain
plugs in a safe location and reinstall them when the
cold weather season is over. Ensure drain plugs
o-rings are not misplaced.
3. Keep the motor covered and dry. Do not cover
the pump with plastic, because this will create
condensation that will damage the pump.
NOTE
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC recommends having
a qualified service technician or electrician properly
disconnect the electrical wiring at the switch or junction
box. Once the power is removed, loosen the two (2)
unions and store the pump indoors. For safety, and to
prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all conduit and
terminal box covers.
4. When the system is reopened for operation,
have a qualified technician or electrician make
sure all piping, valves, wiring and equipment
are in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Pay close attention to the filter
and electrical connections.
5. The pump must be primed prior to starting. Refer to
Section 4.1, Start-up.
