Pentair STA-RITE DS2HE-191PL - Operation; Priming the Pump

Operation
PRIMING THE PUMP
NOTICE: ‘Priming’ refers to the pump expelling all air
in the system and beginning to move water from its
source out into the system. It does not refer only to
pouring water into the pump (although pouring water in
is usually the first step).
NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump with-
out water in it will damage seals and can melt impeller
and diffuser. To prevent damage, fill pump with water
before starting.
1. Remove priming plug (Figure 10).
2. Make sure suction and discharge valves and any
hoses on discharge side of pump are open.
3. Fill pump and suction pipe with water.
4. Replace priming plug, using PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape on thread; tighten plug.
NOTICE: If a priming tee and plug have been provided
for a long horizontal run, be sure to fill suction pipe
through this tee and replace plug. (Don’t forget to tape
the plug.)
