Section 4. Jandy JCP Pump
Operation
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 may void
the warranty.
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury or death, verify that all power is turned off
before starting this procedure.
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.
1. Release all pressure from the system and open the
filter pressure release valve.
2. Depending on the location of the pump, do one of
the following:
◦ If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, remove the plug in the strainer pot lid or
remove the filter pressure relief valve to prime the
pump with water.
◦ If the pump is located above the water level of the
pool, remove the lid and fill 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 will
make it difficult 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. Make sure all valves are open and the flange
bolts are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump. Then turn on the pump.
6. Confirm direction of motor rotation matches the
directional arrow on the pump. Failure to do so may
cause pump failure, and may also void warranty.
Check wiring diagram to determine if motor can be
wired to rotate in both directions.
7. Once all the air has left the filter, close the pressure
release valve.
8. The pump should prime within ten minutes. The
time it takes to prime will depend on the elevation
and length of pipe used on the suction supply pipe.
9. 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.

Installation & Operation Manual
CAUTION
WARNING
4.1

Priming

Fill the strainer pot with water before starting. This
may be done through the 1/4" NPS threaded port in the
top of the lid, or by removing the lid and locking ring.
This is necessary to allow pump to prime and to prevent
permanent damage. Except in freezing weather always
keep liquid in the pump. No further lubrication of the
pump end is necessary including the seal assembly.
If flow does not start within ten minutes, stop motor
and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge
valves are open when the pump is running. Operating the
pump with a closed valve in the system will cause pump
damage.
