Installation Suggestions:
When possible, we suggest installing a check valve on the suction side of the pump. The installation of a check valve will help re-priming your pump as it will keep water in your pump basket and make for easier start-up.
Pump Plumbing
There are many different ways a pool pump can be plumbed due to space requirements, existing plumbing, water features, etc... Due to these scenarios, we have listed some general best practices to adhere to when plumbing a pool pump.
Pool Plumbing Best Practices
Check Valve Placement
1.5” Plumbing - Check valve not to be placed within 7.5” of pump suction port
2” Plumbing - Check valve not to be placed within 10” of pump suction port
2.5” Plumbing - Check valve not to be placed within 12.5” pump of the suction port
Piping
Example: A 2.5” pipe requires a 12.5” straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump. This will help the pump prime faster and last longer.
Note: Do NOT install 90-degree elbows directly into the pump inlet or outlet.

How many hours per day should I run my pump?
Reply
There are many factors to consider; bather load, gallons of water, pump horsepower, type and size of filter just to name a few. A good guideline is 8-10 hours a day. On the cooler days and early and late season, you can cut the run time down to 4-6 hours because there is usually less swimmers and cooler water requires less chemicals. In peak season, when it is the hottest, raising the run time to 10-12 hours per day will help to keep the pool clean and circulating during it’s time of heaviest use.

No, the PL1606 is not a drop-in replacement for the Jacuzzi Magnum Force. Some replumbing would be required.
