Installation & Operation Manual
3.3 Pressure Testing
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 on the filter pump
while filling the pump.
WARNING
Trapped air in system can cause filter lid to be blown
off, which can result in death, serious personal
injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
out of system before operating. DO NOT USE
COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
WARNING
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure
testing must be done by a trained pool professional.
Circulation equipment that is not tested properly can
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 on the filter pump is completely secure.
WARNING
1.
Fill the system with water, being careful to
eliminate trapped air.
2.
Pressurize the system with water to no more
than
35 PSI
.
3.
Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the
system.
4.
Carefully observe the system for leaks and/or
pressure decay.
Section 4. Operation
4.1 Start-up
Never run the pump without water. Running the
pump “dry” for any length of time can cause severe
damage to both the pump and motor and will void
the warranty.
CAUTION
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping
is clear of construction debris and has been properly
pressure tested. Check the filter for proper installation,
verifying that all connections and clamps are secure
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury, or death, verify that all power is turned off
before starting this procedure.
WARNING
1.
Release all pressure from the system and open
the filter pressure release valve.
2.
Take one of the following actions:
– If the pump is located below the water level
of the pool, open the filter pressure release
valve to prime the pump with water.
– If the pump is located above the water level,
remove the lid and fill the basket with water
before starting the pump.
3.
Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris
around the lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid
o-ring seat will cause air to leak into the system,
and make it difficult to prime the pump.
4.
Hand-tighten
the lid to make an air tight seal.
Do not use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-
tighten only
. Ensure that the lid is secure. Make
sure all valves are open and the unions are tight.
5.
Restore power to the pump and then turn it on.
6.
Once all the air has left the filter, close the filter
pressure release valve.
7.
The pump should prime. The time it takes to
prime will depend on the elevation and length of
pipe used on the suction supply pipe. See
Section 3.1.3.3, Installation Recommendations
for proper elevation and pipe size.
8.
If the pump does not prime and all the
instructions to this point have been followed,
check for a suction leak. If there is no leak,
repeat Steps 2 through 7.

Support at 1.800.822.7933.
Section 5. Service and
Maintenance
5.1 Routine Maintenance
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, turn off the pump and
switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor
before servicing the pump.
WARNING
Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through
the clear pump lid. Remove any debris, because as
debris accumulates, it will begin to block the flow
of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean to
improve the performance of the pump.
