I'm back with some information.
Here's what I have so far; Packaging is done very well
Ok, assembly is very easy. you will need a large phillips screw driver to mount the pump / motor assembly to the base plate, don't tighten them all the way till you attach the filter housing. The filter housing just sits in a groove on the base plate and connects to the pump via union. The union already has Teflon tape applied so you hand tighten each end then using a 2" pipe wrench turn an additional turn or so till snug. Hand tighten the union together then tighten the pump / motor assembly to the base plate.
Next, mine came with a hose kit, throw out the clamps and use conventional stainless clamps. There is 1 ball valve & 1 threaded hose connector. I needed some Teflon tape to install the ball valve on the outlet side of the filter housing & on the hose connector on the pump inlet side. I then connected the hoses to the pool.
Finally, my pump motor came with a standard plug end not good. I cut off the end and installed the proper Twist-lock end connected the bonding wire to the terminal at the rear of the pump motor and plugged her in.
It got dark on me by this time so I will finish the air-purge and start up tomorrow morning then I will post the rest of my write up.
