IRON MIGHT PUMP INSTRUCTIONS

ALL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS

• 

WARNING

: Risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a Ground-Type Receptacle protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit 

  Interrupter (GFCI). Potential risk of fire, electric shock or injury to person if misused. Do not install within an outer  
  enclosure or beneath the skirt of the spa unless so marked.

• 

WARNING

: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely  

  supervised at all times.

• 

CAUTION

: This pump is for use with permanently installed 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  
  may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

: Place pump on level surface. Pump must be installed below water surface. Shut off valves should be 

installed on both the inlet and outlet of the pump for future maintenance. Installation area should be clear of any 
direct water and have adequate floor drainage. Pump should be protected from excessive moisture. Allow access 
area large enough to service both pump and plumbing.

The inlet and outlet have Waterway male union threads. Use Waterway tailpiece assemblies for best connection. 
These unions allow the pump to be removed for service without disturbing the plumbing. 

HAND TIGHTEN UNIONS ONLY! DO NOT USE A WRENCH OR ANY ADHESIVES OR SOLVENTS!

DO NOT

 use pipe sealant. Use only Teflon tape or other sealing compounds approved for use with plastic. Some 

pipe sealants not approved for use with plastic will cause stress cracking of plastic parts. New installations often 
require plumbing inspections. This inspection is usually conducted using city water pressure. A pressure regulator 
should be used when preforming this test and should not exceed 40 PSI during the pressure test. When the filter 
and pump are under pressure, insure that all air is removed from the system. Extreme care must be taken during the 
pressure test.  

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXPLICITLY CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND 

WARRANTIES WILL BE VOIDED.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS • SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
