Note: Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions starting on page ii. Electrical Requirements and Wiring When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you MUST use a No. 8 AWG or larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug. Wiring Installation WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property. Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock. 1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor. 2. Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor voltage (230v or 115v). If they do not match the motor will burn up. 3. Choose a wire size from the Chart 1. When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient. 4. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight. 5. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or touch when connected to the terminal board. Chart 1.

Permanently ground the motor using the green ground terminal located on the inside of the motor canopy or access plate, see Figure 1. Use the correct wire size and type specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground. 7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the external bonding screw on the motor to the pool bonding structure. 8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on the same circuit. NOTE It is important that the O-ring be kept clean and well lubricated. We recommend a silicone base lubricant for best results. The Pump Strainer Basket This unit, sometimes referred to as the ‘Hair and Lint Pot’, is the unit 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 hair and lint pot basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an abnormal stress on the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill. Ground Screw Figure 1. 5 SuperFlo Pump Installation and User’s Guide Section 3 Maintenance This section describes how to maintain the SuperFlo pump. Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket WARNING — DO NOT open the strainer pot if 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. CAUTION — To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly. 1. Turn off motor. 2. Relieve pressure in the system. 3. Turn the clamp and lid in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops. 4. Turn the clamp and lid set to remove the clamp and lid. 5. Put the debris from the basket into the trash and rinse out the basket. If the basket is cracked, it should be replaced. 6. Replace the basket. Make sure to align the slot in the basket with the rib in the volute, see Figure 2. 7. Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water. 8. Clean the cover, cover O-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot. Grease the O-ring with Teflon® or silicone. WHEN INSTALLING BASKET, MAKE SURE TO ALIGN SLOT IN BASKET WITH RIB IN VOLUTE. WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED, BASKET WILL DROP INTO PLACE. Figure 2. 6 SuperFlo Pump Installation and User’s Guide Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket, cont’d. 9.
