ENGLISH
1. Understand the local code. The intent of the code
may be to ensure that the piping system with its
many bonded joints is leak free. Piping systems
typically have a higher pressure capability than the
other system components such as the pump or filter.
Do not pressure test this product unless the code
specifically requires this.
2. Verify that each component in the system is
designed to meet the local code test pressure. Most
components should be marked with a maximum
operating pressure. If a component is not marked
consult the Owner's Instructions that came with the
component or consult the manufacturer.
When pressure testing a system with water, air
is often trapped in the system during the filling
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 filter and
loosening the pump basket lid while filling the pump.
Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid
to be blown off, which can result in death, serious
injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
purged out of the system before operating. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure
testing must be done by a trained pool professional.
Circulation equipment that is not tested properly
might fail, which could result in severe injury or
property damage.
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket lid
is completely secure.
3. Fill the system with water to eliminate trapped air.
4. Pressurize the system with water to no more than
35 PSI.
5. Close the valve to seal the water in the system.
6. Observe the system for any leaks or pressure decay.
7. If there are lid leaks, repeat this procedure. For
