Series Pumps Installation and Operation Manual
4. Carefully install the lid, making sure that the blue
pressure test o-ring sits in the housing without
“binding” or “rolling” off.
5. Following the markings on the locking ring,
align ‘START’ markings with the ports and turn
clockwise until ‘LOCKED’ markings align with
the ports. Do not tighten past the ‘LOCKED’
marking.
3.3.2 Conduct Pressure Test
WARNING
When pressure testing a system with water, air
is often trapped in the system during the fi 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
fi lter and loosening the pump basket lid while fi ll-
ing the pump.
WARNING
Trapped air in system can cause fi lter lid to be
blown off, which can result in death, serious per-
sonal 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.
WARNING
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket
lid is completely secure.
WARNING
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure test-
ing 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.
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. If there are lid leaks, repeat steps 1-3. For
technical support, call 800.822.7933.
6. Discard the blue pressure test o-ring after
successfully completing the test.
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 se-
vere damage to both the pump and motor and will
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 filter should be checked
for proper installation, verifying all connections and
clamps are secure according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
WARNING
To avoid risk of damage or injury, verify that all
power is turned off before starting this procedure.
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.
