4. USE
4.1 START-UP
•
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.
•
The filter should be checked for proper installation, verifying that all connections
and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
•
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 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, open the filter pressure release 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. Check for debris around the lid o-ring seat before replacing the lid.
4. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal.
5. Restore power to the pump.
6. Once all the air has left the filter, close the pressure release valve.
7. The pump should prime. The time to prime depends on elevation and pipe length used on the
suction supply pipe.
8. 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.

PUMP BELOW WATER LEVEL
1. Ensure the pump lid is secure by verifying the "locked" indicators are aligned with the pump' s ports.
Hand tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure valves are open and the pump unions are tight.
2. Open any isolation valves that may be in place between the pump and the pool's main drain(s)
and skimmer(s).
3. Open the air relief valve on the filter. This will allow air to begin to escape the system and fill
the pump with water for priming.
4. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
5. When water starts to come out of the air relief valve on the filter, close the air relief valve.
6. Inspect system for any leaks.
