Installation
Incorrectly installed or tested
equipment may fail, causing severe
injury or property damage.
Read and follow instructions in owner’s manual when
installing and operating equipment. Have a trained pool
professional perform all pressure tests.
1. Do not connect system to a high pressure or city
water system.
2. Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.
3. Install pump with at least 2 hydraulically balanced
main drains equipped with correctly installed,
screw-fastened, anti-entrapment certified covers
according to local regulations.
3. Trapped air in system can cause explosion. Ensure
all air is out of system before operating or testing
equipment.
Before pressure testing, make the following safety checks:
•Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories prior to testing.
•Release all air in system before testing.
•Tighten trap lid to 4.1 kg-m torque for testing.
•Water pressure for test must be less than 172kPa (25 PSI).
•Water temperature for test must be less than 35°C.
•Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it
is ready for operation. Remove trap lid and retighten hand tight only.
Pressure Testing
(Have a trained pool professional perform all pressure tests.)
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high tempera-
tures. To reduce risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or
foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid
burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least 20
minutes before trying to work on it. A thermal overload switch
protects the motor from heat damage during operation.

Installation (Continued)
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring
whilst observing local safety regulations.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable chemicals.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the
maximum ambient temperature rating. If this pump is installed in an
enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation
and air circulation to keep the temperature in the enclosure at or below
the motor’s rated ambient temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress,
bolt pump to mount).
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Allow for shut-off valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Pentair recommends mounting the pump on a concrete platform for quietest
performance.
NOTICE: For three-phase motor pumps, start the motor for a few revolutions
checking that rotation direction is clockwise (watch the motor from the fan
side). If rotation is counter-clockwise, change over the connections of two
phases.

Teflon Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers (or a sufficient number of
layers) of Teflon tape. Cover entire threaded portion.
Do not overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump port.
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap as previously with one
to two additional layers of tape and remake the connection.
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump.
Piping:
Use at least 2” (50mm) PVC pipe. Increase size if a long run is needed.
To avoid stress on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes
independently. Place these supports as close to the pump as possible.
To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the
pump and run pipe away from the pump.
Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connection (2”/50mm).
To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward toward the pump.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for service, all flooded
suction systems must have shut-off valves in suction and discharge pipes.
Fittings:
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.
Pool outlets:
Use only non-entrapping suction fitting or double suction conforming with the
AS1926.3-2003 Standard.
Installation (Continued)
NOTICE: If the pump is not provided with a supply cord and a plug, or with
other means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of
at least 3mm in all poles, such means for disconnection must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring.
NOTICE: Use Teflon tape for making all threaded connections to the pump.
Do not use pipe dope (glue) as this will cause stress fractures in the pump.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections have moulded in thread
stops. DO NOT screw pipe in beyond these stops.

Pool Pump Suction Requirements
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel
bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if
a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. Follow the guidelines
below for a pump installation which minimises risk to users of pools, spas, and
hot tubs.
Entrapment Protection
The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazard of
suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement.
Suction Outlet Covers
All suction outlet covers must be maintained. They must be replaced if
cracked, broken, or missing.
See below for outlet cover certification requirements.
All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in
place.
Testing and Certification
Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognised
testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest AS1926.3-2010
Standard or ASME/ANSI Specification for Suction Fittings For Use in Swim-
ming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.

Electrical
Voltage
Voltage at motor must not be more than 10% above or below motor
nameplate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload
tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or
more than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load,
consult power company.
Ground motor before connecting to electrical power
supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or fatal
electrical shock hazard.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF
power to motor before working on electrical
connections.
Residual Current Device (RCD) tripping indicates an
electrical problem. If RCD trips and will not reset, have a
qualified electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to motor nameplate
voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously
damage motor and voids warranty. If in doubt consult a
licensed electrician.
The pump is to be supplied by an isolating transformer
or supplied through a residual current device (RCD)
having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard. Warranty is void if
unauthorised modifications are made to any component.
The MaxEPro series of pool pumps is classified as
"Double Insulated to Water Circuit". Please refer to the
Electical Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) and local statutes
and regulations as to whether equipotential bonding is
necessary. Pentair Water Australia recommends
equipotential bonding for additional safety.

Operation
NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may
damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill
pump with water before starting motor.
Before removing trap cover:
1. SWITCH OFF POWER SUPPLY to pump and
unplug from outlet before proceeding.
2. CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES in suction and
discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and
piping system.
4. NEVER tighten or loosen clamp while pump
is operating!
If pump is being pressure tested, ensure pressure
has been released before removing trap cover.
Do not block pump suction. To do so with body,
may cause severe or fatal injury. Small children
using pool must ALWAYS have close adult
supervision.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the appliance.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high
temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow leaves,
debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor.
To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at
least 20 minutes before trying to work on it. An internal
thermal overload switch protects the motor from heat
damage during operation.
NOTICE: Maximum ambient temperature for motor
operation must not exceed maximum ambient tempearture
rating.

Priming Pump
Release all air from filter, pump and piping system: refer filter owner’s manual.
In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime
itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.
If pump is not in a flooded suction system, disconnect power supply to pump
and remove trap cover handle ring and trap cover; fill trap and pump with
water.
Do not lubricate the trap cover O’ring. The original equipment O’ring contains
a permanent internal lubricant.
NOTICE: If you replace the O’ring with a non-internally lubricated O’ring, you
may need to apply a silicone based lubricant.
Clean and inspect O’ring; reinstall on trap.
Replace trap cover and handle ring on trap; turn handle ring clockwise to
tighten cover.
NOTICE: Tighten trap cover handle ring by hand only (no wrenches!)
Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical height of suction
lift and horizontal length of suction piping. The self-priming time range is 1 to 5
minutes for a height difference of 2 to 3 metres, under normal installation
conditions. Normal conditions are understood to be: with suction having an
internal diameter of DN 50mm, water temperature at 20oC, and 50Hz mains
power supply.
Should the pump not prime, ensure that all valves are open, lint trap is clear of
debris and suction pipe end is submersed in water, and that there are no leaks
in suction pipe.
See Troubleshooting Guide.

Operation (Continued)
Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance required is inspection/cleaning of trap basket.
Debris or trash that collects in basket will choke off water flow through the
pump. Follow instructions below to clean trap:
1. Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and
release all pressure from system before proceeding.
2. Remove trap cover handle ring (turn counterclockwise). If necessary,
tap handles gently with a rubber mallet.
3. Remove strainer basket and clean. Ensure all holes in basket are clear,
flush basket with water and replace in trap with large opening at pipe
connection port (between ribs provided). If basket is replaced
backwards cover will not fit on trap body. To clean transparent cover,
use water and neutral soap only. Do not use solvents.
4. Clean and inspect lid o’ring; reinstall on trap.
5. Clean O’ring groove on trap body and replace cover and handle ring. To
help keep cover from sticking, tighten hand tight only.
6. Prime pump (refer priming instructions).
Pump Service
Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For best
results, use only genuine Pentair factory parts. Be sure to prime
pump before starting.
Before removing clamp or trap cover:
1. SWITCH OFF POWER to pump before proceeding.
2. CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
4. NEVER tighten or loosen clamp while pump is operating!
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor
and remove plug from power outlet before working on pump or motor.
No lubrication or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable care and
periodic cleaning of strainer basket. When pump is not in use and there is a risk
of frost, empty it completely through the drain plug.
If shaft seal is worn or damaged, repair as per the procedure on page 11.
