Specifications

Installation Information

Installation requires compatible three-phase electrical service and proper motor wiring for the available supply voltage. Wiring must match the motor nameplate and comply with applicable electrical codes.

Disconnect and lock out electrical power before servicing the pump. During motor replacement, inspect the mechanical shaft seal, seal plate, impeller, diffuser, O-rings, and motor-support components for wear or damage.

Replacing the mechanical shaft seal during a motor change is recommended when necessary to help prevent water leakage into the replacement motor.

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial pool professional or licensed electrician.
