Priming the pump after service
Before a system start-up, the pump and system must be manually primed. Make sure to reopen
valves before operating. To prime IntelliPro
®
pump, the strainer pot must be fi lled with water.
CAUTION —
For instructions about how to prime the IntelliPro
®
pump, refer to “Priming the pump for the fi rst
time or after service” on page 20.
Winterizing
To protect the IntelliPro
®
pump electronics from damage due to freezing conditions, the pump will
switch itself on to generate internal heat when the air temperature drops below
4.4
° C (40° F). The
IntelliPro
®
pump “Anti Freeze” feature is not intended to protect the system plumbing from freezing.
The Anti Freeze temperature feature is adjustable and can be changed from 4.4
°
- 10
°
C (40
°
- 50
°
F).
See page 10 for more information.
1. If the air temperature drops below
4.4
° C (40° F) the water in the pump can freeze and cause
damage. Freeze damage is not warrantable.
2. To prevent freeze damage follow the procedures listed below.
•
Shut off electrical power for the pump at the circuit breaker.
•
Drain the water out of the pump by removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs located at the
bottom of the volute. Store the plugs in the pump basket.
•
Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice.
•
Do not wrap the motor in plastic. It will cause condensation and rust on the inside of the
motor.
Note:
In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing conditions may occur, run your fi ltering
equipment all night to prevent freezing.
DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the
pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain
proper water level in your pool. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of
pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal.
