Conduct Pressure Test
WARNING
When pressure testing a system with water, air
is often trapped in the system during the filling
process. This air will compress when the system is
pressurized. Should the system fail, this trapped air
can propel debris at a high speed and cause injury.
Every effort to remove trapped air must be taken,
including opening the bleed valve on the filter and
loosening the pump basket lid while filling the pump.
WARNING
Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid
to be blown off, which can result in death, serious
injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
purged out of the system before operating. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not pressure test above 250 KPA (35 PSI).
Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool
professional. Circulation equipment that is not tested
properly might fail, which could result in severe injury
or property damage.
WARNING
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket lid
is completely secure.
1.
Fill the system with water to eliminate trapped air.
2.
Pressurize the system with water to no more than
250 KPA (35 PSI)
.
3.
Close the valve to seal the water in the system.
4.
Observe the system for any leaks or pressure decay.
5.
If there are lid leaks, repeat this procedure. For
