Restarting The Pump - Pentair SUPERFLO VST Installation And User Manual

Restarting the Pump

If pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening the strainer pot on
pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating.
DO NOT run the pump dry, the shaft seal will be damaged and the pump will leak. 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 body, impeller and seal and may
cause property and personal injury.
TO PRIME THE PUMP:
1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump and disconnect all power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
2. Relieve all pressure from the filtration system at the filter air relief valve.
3. Remove the strainer pot lid by twisting it in a counter-clockwise direction.
4. Fill the strainer pot up to the inlet port with water.
5. Place the lid onto the strainer pot, then turn clockwise to lock in place.
Note: The lid is properly locked when the handles are nearly perpendicular to the pump body.
6. Return power to the pump at the circuit breaker.
7. Open the filter air relief valve.
8. Stand clear of the filter and press the Start/Stop button to start the pump.
9. Bleed air from the filter air relief valve until a steady stream of water appears, then close the relief valve.
10. The pump will run a priming cycle and, if successful, begin normal operation.
