Installation & Operation Manual
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
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, severe personal
injury or death, 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. Depending on the location of the pump, do one
of the following:
- 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 of
the pool, 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 will 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. Make sure all valves are open and
the unions are tight.
5.
Restore power to the pump. Then turn on the
pump by following the instructions in the
appropriate manual: ePump Controller Owner’s
manual, H0352000, AquaLink
®
RS Owner’s
Manual, 6593, or AquaLink PDA Owner’s
Manual, H0572300.
6.
Once all the air has left the filter, close the
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.

4.2 Operational Controls
IMPORTANT
Due to an undervoltage protection placed in the
software to protect the internal electronics, there
may be an error during motor startup. If this situation
occurs, simply let the motor sit without power for
approximately 3-5 minutes to allow the capacitors to
completely drain before restarting the motor.
NOTE
-
If power is removed, motor will return to the last
speed selected when power is restored.
-
Motor will remember ON/OFF states.
-
If there is a fault, Error LED will blink. See Section 6
more information on fault codes.
Normal Operation Mode
- For LOW speed (LED will flash when selected)
- For MEDIUM speed (LED will flash when selected)
- For HIGH speed (LED will flash when selected)
- To turn OFF (LED will flash when selected)
