3.3.2 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 pressur-
ized. 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 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 COM-
PRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR CHECK
FOR LEAKS.
Warning
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket lid
is completely secure.
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.
1.
Fill the system with water, using care 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.
Observe the system for leaks and/or pressure
decay.
5.
If there are lid leaks, repeat steps 1-3. For
technical support, call 800.822.7933.
6.
Discard the blue pressure test o-ring after
successfully completing the test.
Section 4. operation
4.1 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 will void the war-
ranty.
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 all connections and clamps are
secure according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Warning
To avoid risk of damage or injury, verify that all power
is turned off before starting this procedure.
1.
Release all pressure from the system and open
the filter pressure release valve.
2.
If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, opening the filter pressure release valve
will prime the pump with water.
3.
If the pump is located above the water level of
the pool, remove the lid and fill the basket with
water before starting the pump.
4.
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.
5.
Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal. Do
not use any tools to tighten the lid, hand-tighten
only. Make sure all valves are open and the
unions are tight.
6.
Turn on the power to the pump. Then turn on
the pump.
7.
Once all the air has left the filter, close the
pressure release valve.
8.
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
for proper elevation and pipe size.
