9.
Open the 1&1/2" ballvalves at the outlets and begin building pressure in all the
lines. In the event there is an acceptable leak in the system that must be
overcome by leaving the pump running.. Crack the 1/2" back bleed valve allowing
a small amount of clean fresh water to flow while in bypass.
Once pressure has
been reached, close all ballvalves and shut off pump.
10. If the air has been bled as outlined, the pump will build pressure quickly and
safely with only hose stretch to overcome. If a hose ruptures, the only volume
of water available is through GPM of the pump. NO SURGE OF VOLUME, NO WILD
LINE.
11. It is impossible to ensure that air is not caught behind couplings. If air is
caught behind a coupling that fails - it could cause an explosion and
fragmentary effect. DO NOT BEND OVER THE TOP OF THE PUMP. Treat hoses and
couplings under pressure as dangerous.
NOTE: When dealing with existing pressured hoses or to re-pressurize hose,
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
NOT building pressure Inlet ballvalve has not been closed.
AIR, AIR AND MORE AIR Ensure air is bled from hoses, manifold, piping.
The length of time to build pressure and test hoses
is directly related to overcoming air buildup.
