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 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 that all connections
and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
wARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury or death, 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. Depending on the location of the pump, do one of
the following:
- If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, open the filter pressure release valve
to prime the pump with water.
- 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.
3. 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 will
make it difficult to prime the pump.
Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal. Do
4.
not use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-tighten
only. Make sure all valves are open and the unions
are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump. Then turn on the pump
by following the instructions in the appropriate
manual: Variable-Speed Controller Owner's
manual, H0311200, AquaLink
Manual, 6593, or AquaLink PDA Owner's
Manual, H0572300.
6. Once all the air has left the filter, close the
pressure release valve.

7. The pump should prime. The time it takes to
prime will depend on the elevation and length of
pipe used on the suction supply pipe. See Section
3.1.3.3, Installation Recommendations, for proper
elevation and pipe size.
8. 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 2
through 7.

Section 5. Service and Maintenance

5.1

Routine Maintenance

Inspect the pump debris tray basket for debris by
looking through the clear pump lid. Remove any debris,
because as debris accumulates, it will begin to block the
flow of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean
to improve the performance of the pump.
1. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below the water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent backflow of water.
2. Turn the lid's locking ring counter-clockwise until
'START' aligns with the ports. Carefully remove
the lid. (You may use a tool for leverage.)
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be
improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could
result in pump damage.
3. Lift the basket out of the pump.
4. Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean the
basket, making sure all the holes are open. Using
a garden hose, spray the basket from the outside to
help clear the holes. Remove any remaining debris
by hand.
5. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the
opening with the suction pipe. If aligned properly,
the basket will drop easily into place. Do not force
it into place.
6. Remove the lid seal and remove debris around the
lid seal seat, as this can allow air to leak into the
system. Clean the lid seal and place it on the lid.
Replace the lid with locking ring. Hand-tighten
7.
the lid to make an air-tight seal. Do not use any
tools to tighten the lid: hand-tighten only.
