Start-Up & Operation
WARNING
– Separation Hazard
-
Failure to Open all suction and discharge valves could result in severe
personal injury. To avoid OPEN all suction and discharge valves, as well as filter air relief valve (if available) on
filter, when starting the circulating pump system.
Starting/Priming the Pump:
Pumps with single speed motors are self priming to 10 ft. and pumps with 2 speed motors are self priming to 10 ft. on
high speed only. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the
pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and
proceed with starting the pump.
WARNING
– Separation Hazard - Failure to do wait to close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream
of water (not air or air and water) is discharged from valve could result in severe personal injury. To avoid wait
for a steady stream of water.
NOTICE
–
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical
shaft seal. NEVER
run pump dry.
Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and voids
warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
NOTICE –
Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted
chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty.
NOTICE
–
Before removing strainer cover:
1.
STOP
PUMP before proceeding.
2.
CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
3.
RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system using filter manual air relief valve. See filter
owner’s manual for more details.
4.
If water source is higher than the pump, pump will prime itself when suction and outlet valves are
opened. If water source is lower than the pump, unscrew and remove strainer cover; fill strainer
housing with water.
5.
Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" each time it is removed. Inspect O-ring and
re-install on strainer cover.
6.
Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn strainer cover hand knobs clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTE - Tighten strainer cover knobs by hand only (no wrenches).
7.
OPEN VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
Before re-starting pump, see “Starting/Priming the Pump” instructions.
NOTICE
–
Wait five (5) seconds before re-starting pump. Failure to do so may cause reverse rotation of motor and
consequent serious pump damage.
Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which may take up to ten (10) minutes. Priming time will depend on
vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within five minutes, stop
motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See
Troubleshooting Guide.
