Priming principle
There is no ON/OFF button on the FilterMax. It will be in operation as soon as it is connected to the power
supply. However, the pump must NEVER run without water. Running the pump dry can damage the seals
and lead to leaks and flooding .
Priming consists of bleeding the air out of the filter and pipes to fill them with water, so as to create a conti-
nuous flow between your pool and the filtration system. This stage is essential to ensure that the hydraulic
circulation works properly.
Prepriming the pump
Case 1: The pump is below the water level (as recommended)
If the pump is placed below the water level of the pool, the pump will start automatically when the pool
suction and discharge valves are open. The pipework and pump are filled with water naturally by gravity.
To make it easier to fill the entire filtration circuit with water, FilterMax is equipped with a drain integrated
in the T of the pressure gauge. The drain plug is drilled in the middle of the thread to allow air to escape
without having to unscrew it completely. Slightly unscrew the T-cap to release the air through the bleed and
create a draught that will make it easier for water to flow into the tank and fill it completely.
Case 2: The pump is above the water level (not recommended)
If the pump is not below the water level of the pool, you must prime the entire circuit. To do this, fill the
pipework, the reservoir and the pump's pre-filter as completely as possible with water. Then unscrew the
pre-filter cover to prime the pump when it is stopped.
Depending on the distance between the pool and the filtration system, it may be necessary to repeat this
operation several times to ensure that the filtration system is fully primed. Then wait until all air has been
evacuated from the pipework and pump.
Preliminary operations
Before starting the filtration, make sure that
– The pool is sufficiently filled (at least up to the level of the skimmer).
– That the valves are all open.
– That the water can circulate freely throughout the circuit.
– That the correct amount of filter balls have been placed in the sandbox.
– That all connections have been made and are not leaking.
Start up
On start-up, the pump will prime gradually. The priming time will depend on the suction lift and the length
of the filter piping.

It is therefore essential to prime the pump before starting it.
