Installation & Operation Manual
Section 4. Operation
4.1 Start-up
CAUTION
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 may 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 lter should be checked for
proper installation, verifying that all connections and
clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death,
verify that all power is turned off before starting these steps.
4.1.1 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 lter. This will
allow air to begin to escape the system and ll 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 lter, close the air relief valve.
6. Inspect system for any leaks.
4.1.2 Pump Above Water Level
1. Open the air relief valve on the lter.
2. Remove the pump lid and ll the basket with water.
3. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around
the lid O-Ring seat. Debris around the lid O-Ring
seat may cause an air leak and will make it dicult
for the pump to prime.
4. Tighten the lid by verifying the “locked” indicators
on the lid are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand
tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure all valves
are open and the pump unions are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
6. Once the pump has primed and water comes out of
the air relief valve on the lter, close the air relief
valve and inspect the system for any leaks.
NOTE All pumps in this manual are NSF-certified
as being able to prime at heights up to 10 ft above
the pool water level, at sea level. However, to
achieve better self-priming, install the pump as
close as possible to the water level of the pool.
See Installation Recommendations in Section 3.1.3 for
proper elevation and pipe size.
The default priming speed is 2750 RPM. The pump will
take approximately 15 minutes to prime at this priming
speed when the pump is located 10 feet above the pool
water. If priming speed is adjusted to 3450 RPM, the
pump should prime within 8 minutes at 10 feet above the
water level.*
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 1 through 5.

NOTE If system plumbing is greater than 2", the
pump may take approximately 20 minutes to prime
at 3450 RPM.
