MAINTENANCE
DO NOT open the strainer pot if Variable Speed 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.
To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and
skimmer baskets regularly.
Pump Strainer Basket
The pump strainer basket (or 'strainer pot', 'hair and
lint pot'), is located in front of the volute. Inside the
chamber is the basket which must be kept clean of
leaves and debris at all times. View basket through
the 'See Through Lid' to inspect for leaves and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter
cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the
basket at least once a week.
Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket
1. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the pump and
turn off the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Relieve pressure in the system by allowing the
water to cool.
3. Gently tap the clamp in a counter-clockwise
direction to remove the clamp and lid.
4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace
the basket if it is cracked.
5. Put the basket back into the housing. Be sure to
align the notch in the bottom of the basket with the
rib in the bottom of the volute.
6. Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port
with water.
7. Clean the cover, o-ring and sealing surface of the
pump pot.
Note: It is important to keep the lid o-ring clean
and well lubricated.
8. Reinstall the lid by placing the lid on the pot. Be
sure the lid o-ring is properly placed. Seat the
clamp and lid on the pump then turn clockwise
until the handles are horizontal.
9. Turn the power on at the house circuit breaker.
Reset the pool time clock to the correct time, if
applicable.
10. Open the manual air relief valve on top of the filter.
11. Stand clear of the filter. Start the pump.
12. Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream
of water comes out. Close the manual air relief
valve.

THIS SYSTEM OPERATES
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When
any part of the circulating system
(ie Lock Ring, Pump, Filter, Valves,
etc.) 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 instructions above.
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.
To prevent freeze damage, follow the procedures
below:
1. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the pump and
shut off electrical power for the pump at the circuit
breaker.
2. Drain the water out of the pump housing by
removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs from the
housing. Store the plugs in the pump basket.
3. 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.
The motor may
be covered during
a storm, winter
storage, etc.,
but never when
operating or
expecting operation.
Note: In mild
climate areas when
temporary freezing

conditions may
occur, run your filtering equipment all night to prevent
freezing.
