OPERATION
Before starting the pump, ALWAYS follow the instructions below. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in property damage and/or personal injury.
1. Open the filter's air relief valve.
2. Open all suction and return line valves.
3. Ensure pool return line is completely open and clear of any blockages.
4. Ensure the strainer pot is filled with water.
5. Stand clear of the filter or other pressurized vessels.
Never allow the pump to run without both halves of the motor shroud installed. Operating the pump without motor shrouds
installed may cause the drive to overheat and damage the drive.
Drive Controls/Buttons
Refer to Drive LED Indicators, page 19 for a list of
drive LED behaviors.
CONNECT: Press to connect the pump to the Pentair
Home app. Refer to the Pentair Home User's Guide
(P/N 356088) for instructions.
ON/STOP: Press to enable or disable the pump.
Pressing this button will either begin the priming cycle
and then run the appropriate program or deactivate the
pump.
If the pump is deactivated via the ON/STOP button,
ON/STOP must be pressed again before the pump will
operate.
QUICK CLEAN: Press to manually start the Quick
Clean program. This program can be edited through the
optional touchscreen or within the Pentair Home app.
Priming the Pump
Do NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry,
the shaft seal will be damaged and the pump will
start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced.
ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your
pool (half way up skimmer opening). If the
water level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air
through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run
dry, resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner
could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump
case, impeller and seal and may cause property and personal injury.
This pump is shipped with Priming ENABLED. Unless
the priming settings are changed, the pump will speed
up to the maximum speed when the pump is powered on
for the first time, and the ON/STOP button is pressed.
The pump must be filled with water and primed before
initial startup and after servicing. To avoid permanent
damage to the pump, follow the instructions below.
Refer to the Pentair Home User's Guide (P/N 356088)
for a list of Pentair Home priming settings and
programming instructions.
Note: If programming priming via the optional Drive-
mounted Touchscreen Controller, refer to Priming
Parameters, page 10.

TO PRIME THE PUMP:
1. Press ON/STOP to stop the pump and disconnect
all power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Close all valves in suction and return lines.
3. Open the filter's air relief valve and relieve all
pressure from the filtration system.
4. Turn the Strainer Pot Lid counter-clockwise and
remove it from the pump.
5. Fill the strainer pot up to the Suction Port with water.
6. Place the lid onto the strainer pot and tighten until
the lid handles are perpendicular to the suction port.
Note: Ensure the lid O-ring is properly seated and
is not being pinched between the lid and strainer
pot.
7. Open all valves in suction and return lines.
8. Open the filter's air relief valve and stand clear of the
filter.
9. Reestablish power to the pump at the circuit breaker.

STRAINER POT LID
Do not add chemicals to the system directly in
front of the pump. Adding undiluted chemicals
may damage the pump and will void the warranty.
This is a variable speed pump. Typically lower
speeds are used for filtration and heating.
Higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and
priming.
