Page 12Section 5. Service and Maintenance5.1 Routine MaintenanceThe pump will collect any large debris present inthe water at the pump basket. As debris accumulatesit will begin to block the flow of water through thepump, and must be removed. The cleaner the basketis kept, the more effective and efficient the pump willperform. The pump lid is clear for easy inspectionbetween cleaning.1. To clean the basket, turn off the power to thepump. If the pump is located below the waterlevel, close the isolation valves on the suction anddischarge sides of the pump to prevent backflowof water. Turn the lid counter-clockwise until itcomes off. You may use a tool for leverage toremove the lid, but never to tighten the lid.CAUTIONA misaligned basket will cause the lid to beimproperly seated, allowing an air leak which couldresult in pump damage.2. Lift the basket out of the pump.3. Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean thebasket, making sure all the holes are open. Usinga garden hose, spray the basket from the outsideto help clear the holes. Use your hands to removeany remaining debris.4. Replace the basket in the pump by aligningthe opening with the suction pipe. If alignedproperly, the basket will drop easily into place.Do not force into place.5. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris aroundthe lid o-ring seat, as this will cause air leaks intothe system. Clean the lid o-ring and place on thelid.6. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal. Donot use any tools to tighten the lid, hand-tightenonly.7. Verify that all valves have been returned to theproper position for normal operation.8. Open the pressure release valve on the filter, andmake sure it is clean and ready for operation.9. Turn on the power to the pump. Once all theair has been evacuated from the filter, close thepressure release valve.5.2 Winterizing the PumpCAUTIONThe pump must be protected when freezingtemperatures are expected. Allowing the pumpto freeze will cause severe damage and void thewarranty.CAUTIONDo not use antifreeze solutions in the pool,spa, or hot tub systems! Antifreeze is highlytoxic and may damage the circulation system.The only exception to this is Propylene Glycol. Formore information see your local pool/spa supplystore or contact a qualified swimming pool servicecompany.1. Drain all water from the pump, systemequipment, and piping.2. Remove the two drain plugs. Store the drainplugs in a safe location and reinstall them whenthe cold weather season is over. Do not lose theo-rings.4.

The best way to protect your pump is tohave a qualified service technician or electricianproperly disconnect the electrical wiring atthe switch or junction box. Once the power isremoved, the two unions can be loosened and thepump stored indoors. For safety, and to prevententry of contaminants, reinstall all conduit andterminal box covers.5.
