Installation with a Heater To install the booster pump in a system with a heater, install a tee after the filter. The tee directs a portion of the water to the booster pump and to the heater. Do not connect the booster pump directly to the heater; the heated water can damage the booster pump if the heater malfunctions. Be sure to install the booster pump at least 3 feet away from the heater to protect from excess ambient heat. Installation with Solar Heaters With or without a gas heater, install an in-line tee on the return line between filter and solar heater. This minimizes the possibility of an air lock in the booster pump each time the solar panel fills and assures ample water supply. 3 Installation with Pool and Spa Combination If your pool is plumbed for a pool and spa combination, connect the suction side of the booster pump before the spa bypass valve. Be sure to install the booster pump at least 3 feet away from the heater to protect from excess ambient heat. See image below for plumbing configuration.

Universal Booster Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Installation with Solar Heaters
With or without a gas heater, install an in-line tee on the
return line between filter and solar heater.
This minimizes the possibility of an air lock in the booster
pump each time the solar panel fills and assures ample
water supply.
Installation with a Heater
To install the booster pump in a system with a heater, install a tee
after the filter.
The tee directs a portion of the water to the booster
pump and to the heater.
Do not connect the booster pump directly to the heater
; the
heated water can damage the booster pump if the heater malfunc-
tions.
Be sure to install the booster pump at least 3 feet away from the
heater to protect from excess ambient heat.
Installation with a Solar Heater
Installation with Pool and Spa Combination
If your pool is plumbed for a pool and spa combination, connect
the suction side of the booster pump before the spa bypass valve.
Be sure to install the booster pump at least 3 feet away from the
