INCREASING PUMP SIZE WILL INCREASE FLOW. When in doubt, consult your pool and spa professional. NEVER use a pool or spa that has a missing or broken suction outlet cover. USING A POOL OR SPA WITH A MISSING OR BROKEN SUCTION OUTLET COVER CAN RESULT IN HAIR OR BODY ENTRAPMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THE VACUUM IN SUCTION OUTLETS AND/OR SUCTION OUTLET COVERS WHICH ARE DAMAGED, BROKEN, CRACKED, MISSING OR UNSECURED CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY AND/OR DEATH DUE TO THE FOLLOWING ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS: HAIR ENTRAPMENT — Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover. LIMB ENTRAPMENT — A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb. BODY SUCTION ENTRAPMENT — A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment. EVISCERATION/DISEMBOWELMENT ENTRAPMENT — A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/disembowelment entrapment. MECHANICAL ENTRAPMENT—There is a potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment. AFTER INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS, IF A GAP EXISTS BETWEEN POOL FINISH AND BASE OF COVER IT MUST BE FILLED IN WITH A 2 -PART EPDXY TO AVOID FINGER OR OTHER ENTRAPMENT. If not an approved single, unblockable outlet, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall) must be installed a minimum of three feet (3') (1 meter) apart, as measured from center point to center point. Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas. If any suction outlets are located closer they shall be located on two different planes (i.e. one on the bottom and one on the vertical wall, or one each on two separate vertical walls).The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of any listed (per ASME/ANSI Al 12.19.8-2007) suction outlet cover installed. Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached. Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately. In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest APSP, IAF Standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all national, state and local codes applicable. Use only transitional (typically green) glues when attaching PVC pipe to ABS fittings. Use gray medium set glue when attaching PVC pipe to our PVC based skimmers and double deep sump buckets. In both cases, do not ever use blue glue or related hot glues, clear glues or any fast setting cement. WARNING! — Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described above. WARNING! — Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described above. WARNING! — Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected before each use of facility and replaced at least every five (5) years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, not securely attached or missing screws. DO NOT use facility until corrected!
