Section 4. Operation
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.
CAUTION
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 property damage, severe personal
injury, or death, verify that all power is turned off
before starting this procedure.
WARNING
1.
Release all pressure from the system and open
the filter pressure release valve.
2.
If the pump is located below the water level
of the pool, opening the filter pressure release
valve will prime the pump with water.
3.
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.
4.
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 make it difficult to prime the pump.
5.
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 unions are tight.
6.
Turn on the power to the pump. Then turn on
the pump.
7.
Once all the air has left the filter, close the
pressure release valve.
8.
The 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 3.1.3.3
for proper elevation and pipe
size.
9.
If the pump does not prime and all the
instructions to this point have been followed,
check for a suction leak and then repeat Steps 2
through 7.
Section 5. Service and
Maintenance
5.1 Routine Maintenance
Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through
the clear pump lid. Remove any debris, because as
debris accumulates, it will begin to block the flow
of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean to
improve the performance of the pump.
1.
Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump
is located below the water level, close the
isolation valves on the suction and discharge
sides of the pump to prevent a backflow of
water.
2.
Turn the lid's locking ring counter-clockwise
until 'START' aligns with the ports. (You may
use a tool for leverage to open the lid, but
never
to tighten the lid
when closing it.) Carefully
remove the lid.
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be
improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could
result in pump damage.
CAUTION
3.
Lift the basket out of the pump.
4.
Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean
the basket, making sure all the holes are open.
Using a garden hose, spray the basket from the
outside to help clear the holes. Use your hands
to remove any remaining debris.
5.
Replace the basket in the pump by aligning
the opening with the suction pipe. If aligned
properly, the basket will drop easily into place.
Do not force into place.
6.
Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris
around the lid o-ring seat, as this will cause air
to leak into the system. Clean the lid o-ring and
place it on the lid.
7.
Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal.
Do not use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-
tighten only.
8.
Verify that all valves have been returned to the
proper position for normal operation.
9.
Open the pressure release valve on the filter,
and make sure it is clean and ready for
operation.
10. Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the
air has been evacuated from the filter, close the
pressure release valve.
