Installation & Operation Manual
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off the pump and the main breaker in the pump
electrical circuit before starting the procedure. Failure to
comply may cause a shock hazard, resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
3. Make sure all necessary isolation valves are closed
to prevent pool water from reaching the pump.
4.
Following the markings on the locking ring, turn
the ring counter-clockwise until the ‘START’
markings align with the ports.
5.
Carefully remove the lid with locking ring.

Replace Blue O-ring
1.
Turn the lid with locking ring upside down.
2. Place the blue o-ring on the step located ¼" from
the bottom of the lid. See Figure 14.
3.
Make sure that the o-ring is properly seated.
4.
Install the lid, making sure that the blue o-ring sits
in the housing without “binding” or “rolling” off.
5.
Follow the markings on the locking ring, align
‘START’ markings with the ports and turn
clockwise until ‘LOCKED’ markings align.
Do not
tighten past the ‘LOCKED’ marking
.
Section 5. Operation
5.1 Start-up
CAUTION
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 may void the warranty.
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping
is clear of construction debris and has been properly
pressure tested. The filter should be checked for
proper installation, verifying that all connections and
clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death,
verify that all power is turned off before starting these steps.
5.1.1
Pump Below Water Level
1.
Ensure the pump lid is secure by verifying the
“locked” indicators are aligned with the pump’s
ports. Hand tighten only, do not use tools. Make
sure valves are open and the pump unions are tight.
2. Open any isolation valves that may be in place
between the pump and the pool’s main drain(s) and
skimmer(s).
3.
Open the air relief valve on the filter. This will
allow air to begin to escape the system and fill the
pump with water for priming.
4. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
5. When water starts to come out of the air relief valve
on the filter, close the air relief valve.
6.
Inspect system for any leaks.
5.1.2
Pump Above Water Level
1.
Open the air relief valve on the filter.
2. Remove the pump lid and fill the basket with water.
3.
Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around
the lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid o-ring seat
may cause an air leak and will make it difficult for
the pump to prime.
4.
Tighten the lid by verifying the “locked” indicators
on the lid are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand
tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure all valves
are open and the pump unions are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
6.
Once the pump has primed and water comes out of
the air relief valve on the filter, close the air relief
valve and inspect the system for any leaks.
NOTE
All pumps in this manual are NSF-certified
as being able to prime at heights up to 10 ft above
the pool water level, at sea level. However, to
achieve better self-priming, install the pump as
close as possible to the water level of the pool.
See Installation Recommendations in Section 3.2.3 for
proper elevation and pipe size.
The default priming speed is 2750 RPM. The pump will
take approximately 15 minutes to prime at this priming
speed when the pump is located 10 feet above the pool
water. If priming speed is adjusted to 3450 RPM, the
pump should prime within 6 minutes at 10 feet above the
water level.
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 1 through 5.
