Section 2. General Description
2.1 Introduction

2.2 Description

Pro Series FHP Pumps are designed to meet the
needs of today’s more hydraulically demanding pool
equipment. The pump housing, backplate, diffuser,
impeller, and hair-and-lint pot (pump debris filter
basket) are all made from high quality thermoplastic
materials. These materials were chosen for their strength
and corrosion resistance.
The pump is driven by an electric motor directly
attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor
turns, it causes the impeller to turn, which forces water
to flow through the pump. The water flows through the
pump inlet and then into the filter basket. The basket
assembly pre-strains/traps large particles. The water
then enters the center of the pump housing, flows
through the impeller into the diffuser, and then flows out
the pump discharge port.
Section 3. Installation
3.1 Plumbing
3.1.1 Preparation
1.
Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump
for concealed damage, such as cracks, dents,
or a bent base. If you find damage, contact the
shipper or the distributor where the pump was
purchased.
2.
Inspect the contents of the carton and verify
that all parts are included. See Section 7.1,
Replacement Parts List.
3.1.2 Pump Location
1.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends
installing the pump within 1 foot above water
level. The pump should not be elevated more
than a few feet above the water level of the pool.
A check valve is recommended on the suction
line to the pump.
NOTE
Better self-priming will be achieved if the pump is
installed as close as possible to the water level of the
pool.
2.
If the pump is located below water level,
isolation valves must be installed on both the
suction and return lines to prevent the back flow
of pool water during any routine or required
servicing.
