Page 113.3 Pressure TestingWARNINGWhen pressure testing a system with water, air is oftentrapped in the system during the filling process. Thisair will compress when the system is pressurized.Should the system fail, this trapped air can propeldebris at high speed and cause injury. Every effort toremove trapped air must be taken, including openingthe bleed valve on the filter and loosening the pumpbasket lid while filling the pump.WARNINGWhen pressure testing the system with water, it isvery important to make sure that the pump basket lidis completely secure.1. Fill system with water using care to eliminatetrapped air.2. Pressurize the system with water to no more than35 PSI.3. Close valve to trap pressurized water insystem.4. Observed system for leaks and/or pressuredecay.Section 4. Operation4.1 Start-upCAUTIONNever run the pump without water. Running the pump"dry" for any length of time can cause severe damageto both the pump and motor and void the warranty.If this is a new pool installation, make sure all pipingis clear of construction debris and has been properlypressure tested. The filter should be checked forproper installation, verifying all connections andclamps are secure according to the manufacturer'srecommendations.WARNINGTo avoid risk of damage or injury, verify that all poweris turned off before starting this procedure.1. Release all pressure from the system and openthe filter pressure release valve.2. If the pump is located below the water level ofthe pool, opening the filter pressure release valvewill prime the pump with water.3. If the pump is located above the water level ofthe pool, remove the lid and fill the basket withwater before starting the pump.4. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris aroundthe lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid o-ringseat will cause air to leak into the system, andmake it difficult to prime the pump.5. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal.Do not use any tools to tighten the lid, hand-tighten only. Make sure all valves are open andthe unions are tight.6. Restore power to the pump, the turn on thepump.7. Once all the air has left the filter, close thepressure release valve.8. The pump should prime. The time it takes toprime will depend on the elevation and lengthof pipe used on the suction supply pipe. SeeSection 3.1.3.3, Installation Recommendationsfor proper elevation and pipe size.9. If the pump does not prime and all the instructionsto this point have been followed, check for asuction leak and then repeat Steps 2 through 7. |
