Priming the pump for the fi rst time, or after service
The IntelliPro
®
must be primed before starting the pump for the fi rst time. To prime a pump means
fi lling the pump and suction pipe with water. This process evacuates the air from all the suction lines
and the pump. It may take several minutes to prime depending on the depth of water, pipe size and
length. It is easier to prime a pump if you allow all the air to escape from the pump and pipes. The
water cannot enter unless the air can escape. Pumps do not hold prime, the pool piping system has
that task.
CAUTION
-
To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliPro
®
pump, before starting the pump, fi ll the IntelliPro
®
housing strainer with water so that the pump will prime correctly. If there is no water in the strainer the
pump will not prime.
• Do not allow the pump to run dry. Running the pump dry may damage the seals, causing leakage
and fl ooding.
• Do not add chemicals to the system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals
may damage the pump and will void the warranty.
• Open gate valves before starting system.
• Be sure to release all air from fi lter and piping system.
• The IntelliPro
®
pump is a variable speed pump. Typically the lower speeds are used for fi ltration and
heating. The higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and priming.
CAUTION - Before starting this procedure, fi rst read the following:
Before removing the pump lid:
1. Press the Stop button if the pump is running before proceeding.
2. Disconnect the communication cable from the pump.
3. Disconnect main power supply
4. Close the gate valves in suction and discharge pipes.
5. Release all pressure from pump and piping system.
6. Never tighten or loosen the clamp while the pump is operating.

IntelliPro ® Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
If the pump is being pressure tested, release all pressure before removing trap cover. Do not block the
pump suction while the pump is running. If a body part blocks the pump suction it may cause severe or
fatal injury. Small children using the pool must ALWAYS have close adult supervision.

FIRE and BURN HAZARD - The pump motor may run at a high temperatures. To reduce the risk of
fi re, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns
when handling the motor, shut off the motor and allow it to cool for 20 minutes before trying to work
on it. The IntelliPro provides an automatic internal cutoff switch to protect the motor from heat damage
during operation.
