Maintenance Tips

• Proper Installation: Ensure the circulator is mounted with the motor in a horizontal position. It can also be mounted vertically with the motor up, as long as the system pressure is above 20 psi.

• System Filling: Always fill the system with water before starting the pump. The bearings are water-lubricated, so running the pump dry can cause damage.

• Air Purging: Run the circulator for 5 minutes after filling the system to eliminate air in the bearing chamber.

• Use Correct Gaskets: Only use the provided O-ring gaskets to prevent leaks and maintain warranty coverage.

• Electrical Connections: Follow all local electrical codes when connecting the circulator to power. The motor does not require additional overload protection, as it’s already impedance-protected.

• Avoid Harmful Additives: Do not use petroleum-based fluids or certain chemical additives in the system, as they can damage the pump and void the warranty.

• System Monitoring: Regularly check the system to ensure the pump is operating within its maximum flow rate (52 GPM) and pressure range (125 psi).

• Periodic Testing: Run periodic performance tests to ensure the pump operates at its optimal efficiency.
