Preparation for Operation

Since the filter operates under high pressure, it
is important to relieve any pressurized air before
performing any maintenance or servicing.
Follow the instructions below to relieve pressure
from the filtration system.
1. Stop pump, close valves on suction and
discharge lines, and release all pressure
from system before proceeding.
2. Open the manual air relief valve on top
of the filter.
3. Open the suction side valve to release
any trapped air. Turn the filter pump on
and stand clear of the filter.
4. Bleed air from the filter until a steady
stream of water comes out.
5. Close the manual air relief valve.

Starting the Pump

For startup, be sure the filter pump is running
and an automatic pool cleaner is connected
before starting the booster pump. The booster
pump must have a water flow of at least 20
GPM from the filtration system to avoid running
the pump dry.
1. Start the filter pump at least 30 minutes
before starting the booster pump to ensure
pump is primed.
2. Be sure all valves are open before starting
the booster pump. Shutoff valves can be
located between the filter pump and filter
or between the filter pump and pool.
3. Open all filtration valves to allow enough
water for the booster pump during operation.
DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start
leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool.
Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case,
impeller and seal.
Filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., Lock Ring, Pump, Filter,
Valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the filter
lid to separate which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage resulting in damage to the pump
case, impeller and seal, and may cause property damage and personal injury. To avoid this potential hazard,
follow these instructions.
4. If there is a SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release
System) for the filter and booster pumps,
set SVRS to shut off both pumps.
5. Be sure the filter is clean and free of debris.
A clogged filter reduces the water supply to
the booster pump and can cause damage
to the pump mechanical seal.

Automatic Timer

A separate automatic timer is recommended
for the booster pump to ensure proper water
flow from the filter to the booster pump.
1. Set the timer to start the filter pump at
least 30 minutes before and stop 30
minutes after the booster pump.
2. Be sure your automatic pool cleaner is
timed to run only for the length of time
needed to clean the pool.
Note: Operating the booster pump while
the filter pump is off can damage the pump.
3. Reset the timers if power is shut off or
interrupted. Check your system timers to
be sure the filter pump starts before the
booster pump.
4. A separate manual switch is recom-
mended in addition to an automatic
timer to turn the booster pump off if the
filter system needs to be shut off for any
reason.
