Page 8Section 2. General Description2.1 IntroductionThis manual contains information for the properinstallation, operation and maintenance of Jandy ®Stealth Series Pumps. Procedures in this manual mustbe followed exactly. To obtain additional copies ofthis manual contact us at 707-776-8200, ext. 237. Foraddress information, see back cover.2.2 DescriptionJandy® Stealth Series Pumps are designed to meet theneeds of today's more hydraulically demanding poolequipment. The pump housing, backplate, diffuser,hair and lint pot (pump basket), and impeller areall made from high quality thermoplastic materials.These materials were chosen for their strength andcorrosion resistance.The pump is driven by an electric motor directlyattached to the pump impeller. As the electric motorturns it causes the impeller to turn, which forces waterto flow through the pump. The water flows throughthe pump inlet and then into the filter basket. Thebasket assembly pre-strains/traps large particles. Thewater flow then enters the center of the pump housing,goes through the impeller into the diffuser, and thengoes out the pump discharge port.Section 3. Installation Information3.1 Plumbing3.1.1 Preparation Information1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton fordamage. Open the carton and check the pumpfor concealed damage such as cracks, dents or abent base. If damage is found, contact the shipperor distributor where the pump was purchased.2. Inspect contents of carton and verify all parts areincluded. See Section 7.1, Replacement PartsList.3.1.2 Pump Location1. It is recommended to install the pump within one(1) foot above the water level. The pump shouldnot be elevated more than a few feet abovethe water level of the pool. A check valve isrecommended on the suction line to the pump.WARNINGSome Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRSdevices) are not compatible with installation ofcheck valves. If the pool has a SVRS device, besure to confirm that that it will continue to safelyoperate when any check valves are installed.NOTE Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump isinstalled as close as possible to the water level ofthe pool.2. If the pump is located below water level, isolationvalves must be installed on both the suction andreturn lines to prevent back flow of pool waterduring any routine or required servicing.3. The pump and other circulation equipment mustbe located more than five (5) feet from the water.Choose a location that will minimize turns in thepiping.NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a minimumof 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) from the water(CSA C22.1).4. The pump must be placed on a solid foundationthat will not vibrate. To further reduce thepossibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump tothe foundation, or place on a rubber mat.NOTE It is recommended to bolt the pump directly to thefoundation.5. The pump foundation must have adequatedrainage to prevent the motor from getting wet.Protect the pump from the rain and sun.6. Proper ventilation is required for the pumpto operate normally. All motors generate heatthat must be removed by providing properventilation.7. Provide access for future service by leaving aclear area around the pump. Allow plenty ofspace above the pump to remove the lid andbasket for cleaning.8. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequatelighting.
