5. The Shaft Seal 1 The Shaft Seal consists primarily of two parts a rotating member and a ceramic seal 2 The pump requires little or no service other than reasonable care however a Shaft Seal may occasionally become damaged and must be replaced The polished and lapped faces of the seal could be damaged if not handled with care In mild climate area when temporary freezing conditions may occur run your filtering equipment all night to prevent freezing Sea Horse Pump Installation and User s Guide 11 Restart Instructions Ifthe Sea Horse pump is installed below the water level of the pool close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on pump Make sure to reopen valves prior to operating AcauTion DO NOT run the pump dry If the pump is run dry the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking If this occurs the damaged seal must be replaced ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool half way up skimmer opening If the water level falls below the skimmer opening the pump will draw air through the skimmer losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry resulting in a damaged seal Continued operation in this matter could cause a loss of pressure resulting in damage to the pump case impeller and seal and may cause property damage and personal injury Priming the Pump 1 The pump strainer pot must be filled with water before the pump is initially sta
6. 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 does not contain the hair and lint pot assembly the flow simply enters the center of the pump housing The flow goes through the impeller and out the pump discharge port Two Speed Pump Models The performance of this pump will be the same at high speed as the same model single speed pump both hydraulically and prime wise At low speed the pump will produce one half the flow and 1 4 the pressure of high speed However the pressure required by the filter and pool plumbing at half flow will also be greatly reduced due to much lower system friction These lower friction losses result in great energy savings At one half flow low speed the electrical energy savings are 60 for equal amounts of circulated water Turn motor to low speed for quiet operation and electrical cost savings Since the pump should be operated mostly at low speed for cost saving minor adjustments may be required in the automatic chlorine dispenser the skimmers and the heater due to the lower flow See the equipment manufacturer s operation manuals Pool owners should use high speed for vacuuming the pool quick filtering action priming the system and to k
