IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued)
Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged
immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of
98.6° F (37° C.). Effects of hyperthermia include: (1) Unawareness of impending danger. (2)
Failure to perceive heat. (3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. (4) Physical
inability to exit the spa. (5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. (6) Unconsciousness resulting
in danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk
of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Do not permit children to operate this product.
If this pump is intended for use other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to
the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and within
sight of, the unit.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes
governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
Before servicing the system, switch the main power OFF and remove the communication
cable from the pump.
Install the pump a minimum of five (5) feet from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian
installations require a minimum of three (3) meters from pool water.
A No. 8 AWG (No. 6 AWG in Canada) or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding
lug.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed
in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07m).
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a
hot tub or spa unless so marked.
The IntelliPro pump is capable of generating systems pressures up to 50 psi. Installers must
ensure that all system components are rated to withstand at least 50 psi. Over pressurizing
the system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local
codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
DO NOT increase pump size; this may increase the flow rate through the system and
exceed the maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.
Never exceed the maximum stated pump flow rating.
Only use a pumping system rated for the corresponding flow. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
RESULT IN HAIR OR BODY ENTRAPMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PER-
SONAL INJURY OR DEATH. If in doubt about the rating of your system, consult a
qualified pool service professional.
Pumps are not a substitute for properly installed and secured pool drain covers. An ANSI/
ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must be used for each drain. Pools
and spas should utilize a minimum of two drains per pump.
Regularly inspect all covers for
cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged,
broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately,
shut off the pump , post a notice
and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate VGB 2008 certified cover is properly
installed. Covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals.
This cover must be replaced within seven (7) years from installation (or earlier if the cover
becomes damaged in any way).
