3.3.7 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 on the filter pump
while filling the pump.
WARNING
Trapped air in system can cause filter lid to be blown
off, which can result in death, serious personal
injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
out of system before operating. DO NOT USE
COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
WARNING
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket lid
on the filter pump is completely secure.
WARNING
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure
testing must be done by a trained pool professional.
Circulation equipment that is not tested properly can
fail, which could result in severe injury or property
damage.
1. Fill the system with water, using care 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. Observe the system for leaks and/or pressure
decay.

Polaris PB4-60 Booster Pump
®
Installation and Operation Manual

Section 4. Operation

4.1

Start-up

Never run the booster 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.
Never run the booster pump without the cleaner
connected. Running the pump without the cleaner
connected will cause damage to the pump impeller
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 all connections and
clamps are secure according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
To avoid risk of damage or injury, verify that all power
is turned off before starting this procedure.
1. Turn filtration pump ON.
2. Open the filter pressure release to relieve the
system system pressure until water comes out.
3. If the filter pump is located below the water level
of the pool, opening the filter pressure release
valve will prime the pump with water.
4. Once all the air has left the filter, close the
pressure release valve.
5. Turn on the power to the booster pump. Then turn
on the booster pump.
6. The booster 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
3.3.6 for proper elevation and pipe size.
7. If the booster pump does not prime and all the
instructions to this point have been followed,
check for a suction leak.
