Wiring Installation, cont.’d.
6. 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.
