Section 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Safety Instructions
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When
installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
Prior to bather use, the ePump + SVRS should be tested for proper functionality in the following manner.
A ball, butterfly, or sliding gate valve shall be installed within 2 ft. (0.6m) upstream from the ePump +
SVRS (between the ePump + SVRS and the protected suction outlet), or a test mat shall be used to
cover the suction outlet to simulate an entrapment event. There shall be three simulated entrapment
tests conducted to verify proper adjustment and operation of the device.
WARNING
Properly designed and installed suction-outlet covers help protect against all of the above hazards. This
SVRS pump is NOT a substitute for a properly designed and installed suction-outlet cover. All suction
outlets must be equipped with their designated covers and the complete Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly
(SOFA) must be in good condition and must be certified and marked to indicate compliance with ANSI/
ASME A112.19.8, or its successor standard ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for Suction Fittings for use in
Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs.
WARNING
A hydrostatic valve installed in the suction piping of the pool cirulation system can increase the time that
high vacuum is present at the suction outlet, even if an SVRS device is installed in the system.
IN ORDER TO PREVENT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Do NOT use suction check valves
and/or hydrostatic valves with this pump.
• The SVRS feature of this pump may not operate effectively when the pump is installed more than 3
feet above or below the water level of the pool. Therefore, to reduce the risk of suction entrapment,
which can result in serious injury or death, DO NOT INSTALL THE PUMP MORE THAN 3 FEET
ABOVE OR 3 FEET BELOW the water level of the pool/spa.
WARNING
This pump has a motor equipped with a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) that complies with
ANSI/ASME A112.19.17. SVRS helps prevent full-body entrapment on drains due to suction. In some
pools, if a person's body covers the suction outlet (drain), they can be trapped by suction. If this occurs,
a SVRS can act to release the suction to help prevent drowning.
SVRS does NOT protect against other suction-outlet (drain) hazards such as:
• Hair entanglement - hair tangled/caught in suction-outlet
• Mechanical Entrapment -- jewelery, swimsuits, fingers, etc... caught in suction outlet.
• Limb Entrapment - arms or legs trapped in uncovered or broken drains.
• Evisceration/Disembowelment - suction force at suction-outlet can pull lower intestine out of rectum,
causing irreversible damage.
WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not block pump suction, as this can
cause severe injury or death. Do not use this pump for wading pools, shallow pools,
or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is connected to at least two (2)
functioning suction outlets. Drain covers must be certified to the latest published
edition of ANSI
®
/ASME
®
A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. It is
absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance with the latest
national and local codes for swimming pools.
