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
pressurized. 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 the system can cause the filter lid
to be blown off, which can result in death, serious
injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
purged out of the system before operating. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing
must be done by a trained pool professional. Circula-
tion equipment that is not tested properly might fail,
which could result in severe injury or property dam-
age.
WARNING
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket lid
is completely secure.
1. Fill the system with water, being careful 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. Carefully observe the system for leaks and/or
pressure decay.

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. Check the fi lter for proper installation,
verifying that all connections and clamps are secure
according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Installation & Operation Manual
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
fi lter pressure release valve.
Figure 12. Purge Air from system
2. Take one of the following actions:
a. If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, open the fi lter pressure release valve
to prime the pump with water.
b. If the pump is located above the water level,
remove the lid and fi ll 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
make it diffi cult 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. Ensure that the lid is secure. Make sure all
valves are open and the unions are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump and then turn it on.
6. Once all the air has left the fi lter, close the fi lter
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. 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.
