HAYWARD DYNA-SKIM SP1094ESW (01) PDF DOCUMENT

Read and follow all instructions in the owner’s manual and on the equipment. Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.

The HAYWARD DYNA-SKIM SP1094ESW is a skimmer that MUST be punch mounted. Please note that this model does not have the mounting flange.

1. Drill or punch twelve (12) 1/4″ holes per dimensions. Make a rectangular cut-out per the inside skimmer body face dimensions.

2. Place a gasket on the skimmer face, making sure the holes in the gasket align with the holes in the skimmer face. A very light application of adhesive cement can assist in holding the gasket in place.

3. Align the skimmer face and gasket with the drilled panel holes and fasten to the wall panel at the center side holes with the two 5/8″ long pan head securing screws. Be sure to tape the screw heads to prevent damage to the vinyl liner.

4. If it is a vinyl liner pool, install the liner before proceeding with Step 5.

5. Align the second gasket and face plate and fasten them tightly to the skimmer face with ten (10) 1″ long screws. Use a large Phillips head screwdriver to drive these heavy-duty screws. If it is a vinyl liner pool, pierce the liner through the face plate holes one at a time prior to inserting the screws. The screws go through and secure the Face Plate, Gasket, vinyl Liner, the Wall Panel, then the Gasket, and finally into the Skimmer Face.

6. If it is a vinyl liner pool, cut out the liner along the inside edges of the face plate.

To clean the skimmer basket, remove the top cover; or fold the weir forward and squeeze the pins toward the center to remove the weir. Then, remove and clean the basket.

For a hose connection to the port, wrap two full wraps of TFE tape on the male thread of the SP1091Z7. Install it in the outlet.

The SKIM-VAC accessory attaches to the vac hose and is inserted in the skimmer over the basket, allowing you to conveniently vacuum through the skimmer basket.

1. Remove the weir from the front of the skimmer.

2. Attach the vacuum hose to the vac head and handle, and fill the vacuum hose with water (place it over the pool inlet). When full, place the hose end on the SKIM-VAC and place the SKIM-VAC over the skimmer basket.

3. Hold the SKIM-VAC in place until any air in the hose is evacuated by the pump. Once the air is removed, the pump suction will hold the SKIM-VAC firmly in place.

NOTE: Take care not to damage or scuff up the SKIM-VAC’s specially designed sealing surface.

Remove the top cover; or pull the weir forward and squeeze the pins toward the center to remove the weir. Remove the basket. Fill the hose with water and insert the vacuum hose cuff into the skimmer outlet. If an adapter is required, first screw the adapter into the skimmer outlet, then press on the vacuum hose.

This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your equipment or in this manual, look for one of the following signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury.

WARNING: Warns about hazards that could cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage and if ignored presents a potential hazard.

CAUTION: Warns about hazards that will or can cause minor or moderate personal injury and/or property damage and if ignored presents a potential hazard. It can also make consumers aware of actions that are unpredictable and unsafe.

The NOTICE label indicates special instructions that are important but not related to hazards.

Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:

Hair Entrapment: Hair can become entangled in the suction outlet cover.

Limb Entrapment: A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.

Body Suction Entrapment: A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.

Evisceration/Disembowelment: A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/disembowelment.

Mechanical Entrapment: There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

To reduce the risk of entrapment hazards:

• When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3′) [1 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.

• Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.

• Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.

• Never use the Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.

• Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.

• In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with the latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.

• Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.

Hazardous Pressure: Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after the pump is shut off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during pump start-up. Before servicing, all system and pump controls must be in the off position and the filter manual air relief valve must be in the open position. Before starting the pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change the filter control valve position while the system pump is running. Before starting the pump, fully open the filter manual air relief valve and do not close it until a steady stream of water is discharged.

Separation Hazard: The strainer cover must be properly secured to the pump housing. Do not operate the system if a component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI. Do not purge the system with compressed air, as this can cause components to explode. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.

Risk of Electric Shock: All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect the unit to the electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle.

• Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off the power supply to the equipment.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged wiring immediately.

• Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.

• Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.

Grounding and Bonding: Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. Failure to bond all electrical equipment to the pool structure will increase the risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. See installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment.

The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

To avoid hyperthermia, the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission:

1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce hyperthermia.

2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.

3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.

4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).

5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.

6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/spa water before entering to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls are not in proper working order.

7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure problems should obtain a physician’s advice before using spas or hot tubs.

8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.

The effects of Hyperthermia include:

1. Unawareness of impending danger.

2. Failure to perceive heat.

3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.

4. Physical inability to exit the spa.

5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.

6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
