SCP SERIES POOL PUMP
Installation & Operating Instructions
GENERAL
Your pump has been engineered to give maximum efficiency under normal pool water
pumping applications. Consult the manufacturer for any other applications.
INSTALLATION
I. LOCATION OF PUMP
Place pump on a firm level surface. The pump does not be need to be bolted down unless
required by local code. Select a location close to the filter allowing for convenience and
serviceability.
II. PUMP CONNECTIONS
The suction line from the pool skimmer and main drain must be connected to inlet on the
hair and lint trap. It is recommended to have a minimum of 12” of straight pipe before
hair and lint trap. The discharge line to pool (return lines) must be connected to outlet at
top of pump. If the pump is installed below water level of pool, install valves on the inlet
and outlet piping to permit removing of equipment without draining the pool.
CAUTION: During the pressure test procedure, this pump is under pressure. DO NOT
LOOSEN the filter trap cap while pump is running or until all pressure is released. Raise
the pressure slowly. Do not exceed 35 psi. Extreme care must be taken during pressure
test. Failure to follow these instructions explicitly can result in personal injury.
OPERATION
I. PRIMING PUMP
At initial start-up, pump must be primed by filling hair and lint trap with water. To prime
pump, remove cover from hair and lint trap; fill pump and suction trap with water.
Replace cover (make sure the O-ring is in place) and tighten lock ring. Pump will now
prime, with priming time depending upon lift and horizontal distance of suction piping.
II. CLEANING BASKET
It is important to clean the hair and lint basket frequently. A dirty basket will reduce the
efficiency of the filter and heater and will put an abnormal stress on the pump motor,
which could result in costly repair bills.
CAUTION: Do not remove hair and lint strainer lid while pump is running or under
pressure! The lid can be removed or tightened by hand. Basket must be kept clear of
leaves and debris at all times.
III. REMOVING BASKET
1.) Turn off motor. 2.) Remove trap lid by rotating counter clockwise. DO NOT USE
TOOLS. 3.) Remove lid. 4.) Remove basket and empty debris. 5.) Replace basket,
fill with water, replace lid and lock ring securely to prevent air from entering and
tighten. DO NOT USE TOOLS 6.) Turn on motor.
