IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, include the following:
Do not permit children to use this product.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The pump must
only be connected to sockets that have been installed
properly in accordance with the regulations and are protected with a FI-
safety switch (Residual-current device - RCD, 30mA).
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(RCD). Such an RCD should be provided by the installer and should
be tested on a routine basis. To test the RCD, push the test button.
The RCD should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the RCD fails to operate in this manner, the RCD is
defective. If the RCD interrupts power to the pump without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
This pump is for use with permanent swimming
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 is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity.
General Warnings
Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a
capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no
power to the unit.
The pump is not submersible.
The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing
and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or
questionable equipment.
Code requirements for electrical connection differ from country to
country, state to state, as well as local municipalities. Install equipment
in accordance with IEC 60364 (Low-voltage electrical installations),
IEC 60364-7-702 (Requirements for special installations or locations
- Swimming pools and other basins) and all applicable local codes
and ordinances.
Before servicing the pump; switch OFF power to the pump by
disconnecting the main circuit to the pump.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF
Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as
on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to
allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing)
of any pump or filter so the user does not place any
portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer
lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should
allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter
and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF
PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure.
When any part of the circulating system (i.e.
locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, filter lid, and valves
to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death.
Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent
violent separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when
turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure
that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start
during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter
manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure
in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place
all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the
tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all
pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream
of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not
higher than the pre-service condition.
General Installation Information
All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and
must conform to all national, state, and local codes.
Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models
and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All
models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump
will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application
and properly installed.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in
applications other than for which the pump was
intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks
may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction
entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural
failure of the pump or other system component.
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.
The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening
resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when
a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover,
trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow
rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain
cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the
drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough
for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool
(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly
to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present
when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger,
toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This
hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked,
or not properly secured.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES,
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
A properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved
anti-entrapment suction cover must be used for each drain.
Each suction cover must be installed at least 1 meter apart, as
measured from the nearest point to nearest point.
Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced
weathering.
If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing,
replace with an appropriate certified cover.
Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over
time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.
Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction
cover, pool drain or outlet.
Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets.
A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the
pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious place.
Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency.

Location
Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure
or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked
accordingly.
Note: Ensure the pump is secured to the equipment
pad.
ENSURE THE INSTALL LOCATION MEETS THE
FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
1. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as
possible. To reduce friction loss and improve
eciency, use short, direct suction and return piping.
2. Install a minimum of 1.5 meters from the inside wall
of the pool and spa.
3. Install the pump a minimum of 1 meter from a
heater outlet.
4. Do not install the pump more than 3 meters
above the water level.
5. Install the pump in a well ventilated location
protected from excess moisture (i.e. rain gutter
downspouts, sprinklers, etc.).
6. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least
7.5 cm so that the motor can be removed easily
for maintenance and repair. See Figure 1.
Piping
1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to
use a larger pipe size.
2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the
same or larger than the return line diameter.
3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be
as short as possible.
4. For most installations Pentair recommends installing
a valve on both the pump suction and return lines
so that the pump can be isolated during routine
maintenance. However, we also recommend that
a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line
should be no closer to the front of the pump than ve
(5) times the suction line diameter. See Figure 2.
Example: A 2.5 inch pipe requires a 12.5 inch
(31.8 cm) straight run in front of the suction port.
This will help the pump prime faster and last
longer.
Note: DO NOT install 90° elbows directly into the
suction or discharge ports.
Fittings and Valves
1. Do not install 90° elbows directly into suction port.
2. Flooded suction systems should have gate
valves installed on suction and discharge pipes
for maintenance, however, the suction gate valve
should be no closer than ve (5) times the suction
pipe diameter as described in this section.
3. Use a check valve in the discharge line when
using this pump for any application where there is
signicant height to the plumbing after the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in
parallel with another pump. This helps prevent
reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.
Electrical Requirements
Install all equipment in accordance with IEC 60364
(Low-voltage electrical installations), IEC 60364-
7-702 (Requirements for special installations or
locations - Swimming pools and other basins) and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated in
the xed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Electrical Installation
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certied electrician or a
qualied service professional in accordance with IEC 60364 (Low-voltage electrical installations), IEC 60364-7-702 (Requirements
for special installations or locations - Swimming pools and other basins) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper
installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical
shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
Note: ALWAYS reinstall the cover onto the eld wiring compartment when leaving the pump unsupervised. This will
prevent foreign matter (rainwater, dust, etc.) from accumulating inside the compartment.
Note: When connecting the pump to an automation system, continuous power must be supplied to the pump
by connecting it directly to the circuit breaker. When using an automation system, be sure that no other lights or
appliances are on the same circuit.
Wiring
DO NOT install this pump in conjunction with a
motor starter. Using a motor starter with this pump
can cause low voltage alarms and may cause permanent drive damage.
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are
turned o before wiring motor.
STORED CHARGE - Wait at least sixty
(60) seconds before servicing.
2. Be sure that the supply voltage meets the
requirements listed on the motor nameplate. If these
requirements are not met, permanent motor damage
may occur.
3. In order to comply with EMC directive, a shielded
power supply cable, compliant with IEC 60364 (Low-
voltage electrical installations), IEC 60364-7-702
(Requirements for special installations or locations
- Swimming pools and other basins), shall be used.
The 2 ferrites provided with the pump shall be applied
on the cable close to drive-end.
4. Use a strain relief and be sure all electrical
connections are clean and tight.
5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do not
overlap or touch when connected.
6. Wire the pump according to instructions given on the
inside of the eld wiring cover, then secure the eld
wiring cover with the four (4) corner screws.
Grounding
1. Permanently ground the motor using the green
ground screw (Figure 3). Use the correct wire
size and type specied by IEC 60364 (Low-
voltage electrical installations), IEC 60364-7-702
(Requirements for special installations or locations
- Swimming pools and other basins). Be sure the
ground wire is connected to an electrical service
ground.
2. The pump should be permanently connected to either
a circuit breaker, 2-pole timer or 2-pole relay.
Note: If AC power is supplied by a RCD circuit
breaker, the pump should be wired on its
own independent circuit unless the pump is
operated in tandem with a Pentair salt chlorine
generator.
3. A surge jumper has been factory-installed between
the two (2) bottom screw terminals in the wiring
compartment. Ensure this surge jumper is in place
before wiring the pump. See Figure 3.
This surge jumper grounds all drive components
and will protect them from repeated voltage
surges. If surge jumper is not installed damage to the pump drive may
occur.
Bonding
1. Bond the motor to the structure in accordance with
IEC 60364 (Low-voltage electrical installations), IEC
60364-7-702 (Requirements for special installations
or locations - Swimming pools and other basins). Use
a solid copper bonding conductor not smaller than
2.5 mm2.
2. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug
on the motor to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical
equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5
feet (1.5 meters) of the inside walls of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub. Run a wire from the external
bonding lug to the bonding structure. See Figure 3.
Note: When the pump is started and stopped by removing
power with a relay or timer, a two-pole device should be used to
apply and remove power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS.

Using an External Input Signal
When using an externally supplied low voltage signal for external control, input voltage must be within 5-30V AC/DC.
The wiring kit's RED wire is only intended to carry the +24V output signal from the drive and will NOT be used.
The +24V signal (RED wire) is output from the drive only and should never be wired to another power supply. Improper wiring
will damage the drive.
The external output signal can be regulated by switches or relays to initiate a desired pump function. If multiple digital
inputs are active, the priority is: QUICK CLEAN > PROGRAM 3 > PROGRAM 2 > PROGRAM 1.
TO WIRE FOR EXTERNAL CONTROL USING AN EXTERNAL INPUT SIGNAL:
1. Route the communication cable from the Pump
Com Port (Figure 5 on page 5) to the control
system wiring compartment.
2. Ensure the cable reaches all necessary terminals
and cut to the necessary length.
3. Strip the cable 3/4" (19 mm).
4. Strip all conductors 1/2" (13 mm).
5. If using Digital Input Wiring Kit (P/N 353129Z
- Almond): Wire communication cable to control
system as shown in Figure 7A.
If using RS-485 Automation Wiring Kit (P/N
356324Z - Black): Wire communication cable to
control system as shown in Figure 7B.
Note: Unused conductors should be cut o
and terminated according to local and national
electrical codes.
6. Using the pump keypad, program the pump's
internal clock. Refer to Setting the Clock and
Pump Address on page 8.
7. Using the pump keypad, set PROGRAM 1 to a
speed of 0 RPM and duration of 24 hours. Refer to Programming Custom Schedules on page 8.
8. Using the pump keypad, disable priming. Refer to Priming Adjustment on page 11.
9. When ready to start the pump, place the pump into External Control Only mode. Refer to External Control Only
Mode.
10. Plug the communication cable into the Pump Com Port.
External Control Only Mode
External Control Only mode will only allow the pump to run from external controls/inputs. When this mode is active
the programmed pump schedule is deactivated, and user speed requests from the keypad will not be accepted. If the
pump is stopped a user can still program the speeds for all four PROGRAM buttons.
Note: The following steps are required if controlling the pump via digital inputs, but
optional if controlling via RS-485. The pump will prioritize RS-485 commands over

not run during the PROGRAM duration.
Program Priorities
(Non-External Control)
For schedule duration settings, PROGRAMs are
prioritized as follows: PROGRAM 1 -> PROGRAM
2 -> PROGRAM 3. PROGRAM 1 is the highest
priority, while PROGRAM 3 is the lowest.
The drive will not allow programming a schedule of
more than 24 hours. When the 24th hour of duration
is programmed, time will be taken from the lower
priority PROGRAM and added to the PROGRAM
being adjusted.
Example:
Starting Schedule (Before Adjustment)
PROGRAM 1 duration = 20 hours
PROGRAM 2 duration = 2 hours
PROGRAM 3 duration = 2 hours
If PROGRAM 1 is set to run for 23 hours,
PROGRAM 2 (lower priority) will automatically
adjust to a 1 hour duration and PROGRAM 3
(lowest priority) will adjust to a 0 hour duration.
End Schedule (After Adjustment)
PROGRAM 1 duration = 23 hours

Prime the pump before starting the pump for the rst time. To
avoid permanent damage to the pump, remove the lid and ll the
strained pot up to the suction port with water. The strainer pot
must be lled with water before initial start-up or after servicing.
TO PRIME THE PUMP:
1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump and disconnect all power
to the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Close all valves in suction and discharge pipes.
3. Relieve all pressure from the ltration system at the lter air
relief valve.
4. Turn the strainer pot lid counter-clockwise and remove it
from the pump. See Figure 12.
5. Fill the strainer pot up to the suction port with water.
6. Place the lid onto the strainer pot and tighten clockwise until
the lid handles are horizontal.
Note: Ensure the lid O-ring is properly placed and is not
being pinched between the lid and strainer pot.
7. Open all valves in suction and discharge pipes.
8. Open the lter air relief valve and stand clear of the lter.
9. Reestablish power to the pump and ensure green power
light is on.
10. Press Start/Stop to start the pump. The pump will begin to
prime (if enabled) and ramp up to the programmed priming
speed.
11. When a steady stream of water comes out of the lter air
relief valve, close the valve.
12. The pump will prime for 5 minutes.
Note: Do not allow the pump to run longer than 30 minutes
before succesfully priming. If the pump does not prime,
check your priming speed (see Priming Adjustment on
page 11) or refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING on page
20.
Priming the Pump
This pump is shipped with Priming mode ENABLED. Unless the Priming Speed has been modied, the pump will ramp up to 3450
RPM when powered on for the rst time, and the Start/Stop button is pressed.
Before turning the pump ON, be sure the following conditions are met:
1. Open lter air relief valve.
2. Open valves.
3. Pool return is completely open and clear of any blockages.
4. Water in the pump basket.
5. Stand clear of the lter or other pressurized vessels.
DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the shaft seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the
damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool (half way up skimmer opening). If the water level
falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal.
Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and may cause property and
personal injury.
Do not add chemicals to the system
directly in front of pump suction. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage the pump and will void the
warranty.

Priming will automatically run when the pump is
started, except when running a Quick Clean cycle.
Default Priming Speed is 3450 RPM, and will last for 5
minutes. The drive will display and cycle through PrI
-- Priming Speed, PrI -- Remaining Time”.
If externally controlling the pump via an RS-485
connection and priming is enabled at both the
pump and control system: Both priming timers will
start simultaneously, but pump priming settings will
take priority over the control system settings.
Note: After the pump’s priming cycle has
completed, if there is time remaining on the
control system priming timer the pump will
run the control system priming speed until the
timer expires.
During the priming sequence, priming speed
can be adjusted between 1700 and 3450 RPM
using the +and -arrows. Setting the priming
speed below 1700 RPM, will disable priming
and the pump will immediately begin to run the
scheduled speed.
When priming is disabled and the pump is
started, the screen will display, PrI -- 0FFfor
10 seconds while running the scheduled speed
(see Figure 13). This 10 second delay allows
time to enable priming by pressing +.
If priming is re-enabled, the pump will transition from
the scheduled speed to 1700 RPM. If necessary,
priming speed can then be increased 1700 RPM by
pressing +”. The 5 minute priming countdown timer
starts when priming is rst engaged.
Priming Adjustment
This pump is shipped with Priming ENABLED. The pump will ramp up to 3450 RPM when the pump is initially started.
Before turning the pump ON:
1. Open lter air relief valve.
2. Open valves.
3. Pool return is completely open and clear of any blockages.
4. Water in the pump basket.
5. Stand clear of the lter or other pressurized vessels.
DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the shaft seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the
damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool (half way up skimmer opening). If the water level
falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal.
Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and may cause property and
personal injury.
Priming time can change based on local environmental
conditions such as water temperature, atmospheric
pressure, and your pool’s water level. All of these
things should be taken into consideration when setting
the priming speed.
Test and verify priming speeds more than once, letting
the water drain from the system in between each test.
Note: To prevent air from entering the system, the
pump strainer pot should always be lled with water
up to the bottom of the suction port.

14. Press Display. “Auto Tuning” will scroll across
the screen as the pump auto tunes. The motor
will drop to half speed and then slowly ramp down
until the minimum controllable ow is found.
Note: Auto Tuning process will take several
minutes to complete, or much longer in
installations with longer plumbing systems.
15. Motor will stop when Auto Tuning completes. Flow
Mode setup is now complete.
16. Refer to OPERATION on page 8 to continue
pump programming.

Adjusting Flow Setting
1. Use +and -to increase or decrease the Flow
Percentage. This percentage is based on the
high speed set during Flow Mode setup and
conguration.
Example: If ow mode maximum speed is
3000 RPM, lowering ow percentage to “50”
will decrease the motor RPMs until the pump is
producing 50% of the ow created at 3000 RPM.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket
The strainer pot is located at the front of the pump and
houses the pump strainer basket.
The strainer basket can be viewed through the strainer
pot lid and should be visually inspected at least once a
week. Regularly emptying and cleaning the strainer basket
will lead to higher lter and heater eciency and prevent
unnecessary stress on the pump motor.
TO CLEAN THE STRAINER BASKET:
1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump and shut o all
electrical power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Open the lter air relief valve and relieve all pressure
from the ltration system.
3. Turn the strainer pot lid counter-clockwise and remove it
from the pump.
4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace the
basket if it is cracked or damaged.
5. Place the basket into the strainer pot. Ensure the notch
in the bottom of the basket is aligned with the rib in the
bottom of the strainer pot.
6. Fill the strainer pot with water up to the inlet port.
7. Clean the lid O-ring and sealing surface of the strainer
pot.
Note: It is important to keep the lid O-ring clean and
well lubricated.
8. Reinstall the lid by placing it onto the strainer pot and
tightening clockwise until the lid handles are horizontal.
Note: Ensure the lid O-ring is properly placed and is
not being pinched between the lid and strainer pot.
Note: Ensure that the side of the lid marked “Front” is
positioned at the front of the pump.
9. Open the lter air relief valve and stand clear of the lter.
10. Reestablish electrical power to the pump at the circuit
breaker and start the pump.
11. When a steady stream of water ows from the lter air
relief valve, close the valve.
THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When
any part of the circulating system is serviced, air can enter the
system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the
lid to separate which can result in serious injury, death, or property
damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow above instructions.
Winterizing
You are responsible for determining when freezing
conditions may occur. If freezing conditions are
expected, take the following steps to reduce the risk
of freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered
under warranty.
In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing
conditions may occur, run your ltering equipment all
night to prevent freezing.
TO PREVENT FREEZE DAMAGE:
1. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the pump.
2. Disconnect all power to the pump at the circuit
breaker.
3. Relieve all pressure from the ltration system at
the lter air relief valve.
4. Remove both drain plugs from the bottom of the
strainer pot and drain the pump. Store the plugs in
the strainer basket.
5. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain,
snow and ice.
Note: Do not wrap motor with plastic or other
air tight materials during winter storage. Never
cover the motor when operating or expecting
operation.
DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in
these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause
serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature
is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker and disconnect the digital input cable before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could
result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock. Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
