Polaris® PB4SQ™ Booster Pump | Installation and Operation Manual
Section 5. Operation
5.1 Pressure Test
1. Fill the system with water, using care to eliminate
trapped air.
2. Pressurize the system with water to no more than 35 PSI.
3. Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the system.
4. Observe the system for leaks and/or pressure decay.
5. For technical support please call 1-800-822-7933.
When pressure testing a system with water, air
is often trapped in the system during the lling
process. This air will compress when the system is
pressurized. Should the system fail, this trapped air
can propel debris at a high speed and cause injury.
Every effort to remove trapped air must be taken,
including opening the bleed valve on the lter and
loosening the pump basket lid on the lter pump
while lling the pump.
WARNING
Trapped air in system can cause lter lid to be
blown off, which can result in death, serious
personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air
is properly out of system before operating. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST
OR CHECK FOR LEAKS.
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket
lid on the lter pump is completely secure.
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure
testing must be done by a trained pool professional.
Circulation equipment that is not tested properly can
fail, which could result in severe injury or property
damage.
WARNING
5.2 Start Up
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 all connections and clamps are
secure according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
To avoid risk of damage or injury, verify that all
power is turned off before starting this procedure.
WARNING
1. Turn ltration pump ON.
2. Open the lter pressure release to relieve the system
pressure until water comes out.
3. If the lter pump is located below the water level of the
pool, opening the lter pressure release valve will prime
the pump with water.
4. Once all the air has left the lter, close the pressure
release valve.
5. Turn on the power to the booster pump.
6. The booster pump should prime. The time it takes to
prime will depend on the elevation and length of pipe
used on the suction supply pipe.
7. If the booster pump does not prime and all the
instructions to this point have been followed, check for a
suction leak.
Never run the booster 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
Never run the booster pump without the cleaner
connected. Running the pump without the cleaner
connected will cause damage to the pump impeller
and will void the warranty. Using this pump for any
purpose other than running a pressure side pool
cleaner will void the warranty
CAUTION
