SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: Your pump is an electrical product. Use caution when
handling the pump or its electrical cord. Small children or pets may
require restraining devices to prevent them from entering wet areas
surrounding the pump or its power supply connections.
1. This pump is provided with a three-prong grounding plug to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. When the pump is in operation,
make sure it is properly connected to a grounded outlet. For
additional safety, a GFCI device is recommended at either the
outlet supplying power to the pump or at the circuit breaker panel
box.
2. DO NOT pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with this pump.
This could damage the integrity of the enclosure and cause an
electrical short.
3. DO NOT run this pump dry. If the switch fails or the pump is used
manually, always be certain that water is available. Running this
pump without water may damage the integrity of the enclosure
and cause an electrical short.
4. If service is required, proceed carefully. The pump and surrounding
areas may be covered with water. DO NOT plug or unplug the
device while standing on wet or damp surfaces. If necessary,
remove power at the breaker panel or have certified electrician.

The 1200 GPH performance was obtained through a one inch I.D.
tube, with friction losses neglected. Using a 5/8" garden hose, 60
feet long, reduces this performance to approximately 300 gallons per
hour due to friction losses in the garden hose. If your area frequently
has heavy rainfalls (1 to 2 inches per hour), it may be necessary to
use 1-inch tubing (available in most pool supply stores). The gallons
of water a pool cover collects in a rainfall of one inch per hour can be
determined by multiplying cover length (feet) x cover width (feet) x
.6234. (NOTE: This is cover dimension, not pool dimension).
Examples: A 16' x 32' pool cover collects 319 gallons in one hour, in one-
inch-per-hour rain (16 x 32 x .6234 = 319). A 20' x 40' pool cover collects
499 gallons in one hour, in one-inch-per-hour rain (20 x 40 x .6234 = 499).
Refer to Figure 3 and the following instructions for installation:
1. Be certain that the electrical outlet to be used meets the
requirements of the National Electric Code, as well as local
electrical codes, including grounding and GFCI protection. Also
verify that the outlet is properly sized and located for this pump.
Your installation may require a certified electrician or plumber
(see Electrical Connections section).
2. If necessary, check your local plumbing codes to verify that the
final installation will be in compliance with their requirements.
3. Secure the two power cords together using the four cable ties
(21). Spiral these around the two cords approximately every five
feet. Connect a garden hose to the hose adaptor, or use a 1 inch
nipple and flexible PVC tubing secured to the pump discharge.
Note: If flexible 1 inch PVC tubing is used, secure the free end so
that it cannot blow back onto the pool cover in high wind.
4. Remove the screen (16) and base plate (8) from the carton, and
install them using the 1/4–20 nylon screws (9). Torque the screws
to 8 - 10 in-lbs.
CAUTION: If the base plate is not installed, the pump may tip
over. This can result in switch malfunction and possible damage
to the pump if the switch causes the pump to run without water
being present (see SAFETY GUIDELINES). The plate is an
integral part of the safety design of the pump, and failure to attach
it properly voids this important safety feature.
5. Gently lower the pump onto the pool cover by holding the garden hose.
Be certain you do not pull the power cord plug onto the pool cover.
It is recommended that two people position the pump. One person
should hold electrical cord plugs while second person positions the
pump at the desired location on the pool cover. Position the pump
20' 26'
so that it remains upright to allow proper switch operation. The pump
520 0
is equipped with a 25', 18 AWG power cord, and has a 3-prong,
grounding-type attachment plug. Once the pump is in position and
proper electrical connections have been made, the pump is ready for
testing (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section).
