2.1 Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation, operation and maintenance of Jandy
®
Stealth Series Pumps. Procedures in this manual must

2.2 Description
Jandy ® Stealth Series Pumps are designed to meet the
needs of today's more hydraulically demanding pool
equipment. The pump housing, backplate, diffuser,
hair and lint pot (pump basket), and impeller are
all made from high quality thermoplastic materials.
These materials were chosen for their strength and
corrosion resistance.
The pump is driven by an electric motor directly
attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor
turns it causes the impeller to turn, which forces water
to flow through the pump. The water flows through
the pump inlet and then into the filter basket. The
basket assembly pre-strains/traps large particles. The
water flow then enters the center of the pump housing,
goes through the impeller into the diffuser, and then
goes out the pump discharge port.
Section 3. Installation Information
3.1 Plumbing
3.1.1 Preparation Information
1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump
for concealed damage such as cracks, dents or a
bent base. If damage is found, contact the shipper
or distributor where the pump was purchased.
2. Inspect contents of carton and verify all parts are
included. See Section 7.1, Replacement Parts
List.
3.1.2 Pump Location
1. It is recommended to install the pump within one
(1) foot above the water level. The pump should
not be elevated more than a few feet above
the water level of the pool. A check valve is
recommended on the suction line to the pump.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS
devices) are not compatible with installation of
check valves. If the pool has a SVRS device, be
sure to confirm that that it will continue to safely
operate when any check valves are installed.
NOTE Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump is
installed as close as possible to the water level of
the pool.
2. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent back flow of pool water
during any routine or required servicing.
3. The pump and other circulation equipment must
be located more than five (5) feet from the water.
Choose a location that will minimize turns in the
piping.
NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a minimum
of 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) from the water
(CSA C22.1).
4. The pump must be placed on a solid foundation
that will not vibrate. To further reduce the
possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to
the foundation, or place on a rubber mat.
NOTE It is recommended to bolt the pump directly to the
foundation.
5. The pump foundation must have adequate
drainage to prevent the motor from getting wet.
Protect the pump from the rain and sun.
6. Proper ventilation is required for the pump
to operate normally. All motors generate heat
that must be removed by providing proper
ventilation.
7. Provide access for future service by leaving a
clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of
space above the pump to remove the lid and
basket for cleaning.
8. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
