SuperFlo Pump Installation and User’s Guide
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued)
WARNING — Do not operate the pump until you have read and understand clearly all the operating instructions
and warning messages for all equipment that is a part of the pool circulating system. The
following instructions are intended as a guide for initially operating the pump in a general pool
installation, however each installation may have unique conditions where the starting procedure
could be different. Failure to follow all operating instructions and warning messages can result in
property damage or severe personal injury or death.
WARNING — The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side of the plumbing system.
These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close proximity of the
suction openings. A person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may become
trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance
with the latest national and local codes for swimming pools.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
CAUTION — 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).
CAUTION — 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.
