Starting the Pump
To operate efciently and prevent pump damage there must be a free ow of water to and
from the pump. Before starting ensure that:
• All pipework is correctly sealed.
• The pool water level is at the correct height.
• Ensure that all appropriate valves are open and there is nothing preventing the ow of
water through the system.
1. When the pump is above the pool water line, rst prime the pump by removing the
strainer basket lid and lling the strainer basket area with water. Replace the lid,
ensuring that it seals on the O-ring.
2. Connect to the power supply and turn on.
3. Allow the pump to run, so that any air trapped may be expelled.
4. If prime is not established within approximately two minutes, as evidenced by a strong
ow of water, turn off the pump and repeat the procedure. Continued evidence of air
under the strainer basket lid indicates an air leak in the suction piping which should be
rectied to avoid pump damage.
