WHEN PROPERLY WIRED AND PLUMBED, THIS PUMP WILL OPERATE IN A SAFE MANNER. A. HOW YOUR PUMP WORKS Your centrifugal pump is designed to operate for years with proper maintenance. The pump housing, seal plate, diffuser hair and lint pot and impeller are made from high quality thermoplastic materials. These materials have been selected for their corrosion resistance. When installed, operated and maintained in accordance with tliese instructions, your pump will provide years of service. Your centrifugal pump is driven by an electric motor. The motor is directly attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor turns it causes the impeller to turn and this causes the water to flow. The water flows into the hair and lint pot inlet and through the basket assembly to prestrain large particles. The flow then enters the center of the pump housing. If the pump docs not contain the hair and lint pot assembly, the flow simply enters the center of the pump housing. The flow goes through the impeller into the stationary diffuser and out the pump discharge port. WATERFALL PUMP VS. POOL PUMP Typical pool pumps are designed to circulate water through relatively high loss plumbing systems that include many plumbing restrictions (i.e. pool filter, valves, heater, small plumbing fittings) and therefore must produce a significant amount of pressure to push the water through all the components. If installed on plumbing systems that do not have these types of plumbing restrictions, pool pumps will often operate very noisily and start a sometimes damaging process called cavitation. In addition, pool pumps typically do not operate efficiently on these types of applications. The Waterfall Pump is specifically intended for applications that require quiet and efficient delivery of water on plumbing systems that have very little restriction. Often, these are applications that require a pump to move water to create some visual effect such as a waterfall, a cascade or spillway, or when it is desired to move water a relatively short distance. It is not intended to be used in typical pool filtration pump applications or spa applications where pressure is required. It is also not intended for certain applications where water must be elevated more than ten feet above the pool reservoir. B. SELEC...
