Page 8: Initial Start-Up
INITIAL START-UP 1. Relieve all system pressure and open all air bleeders on total hydraulic system prior to starting the OptiFlo ® Aboveground Pool Pump. See filter owner's manual. 2. Ensure that all fittings, clamps, closures and couplings are tight and in accordance with equipment manufacturer's recommendations. 3. Open suction and discharge valving to allow free flow of water. On flooded suction pumps with strainer pot the water source is higher than the pump. The water will flow into the pump strainer pot and the pot will fill with water. On pumps without strainer pot the water will fill the pump housing. 4. On non-flooded suction systems the pot lid clamp will have to be removed by rotating the lid counter-clockwise to a stop and lifting the clamp. 5. The pump strainer pot should be filled with water up to suction opening on the pump. 6. It is good practice to lubricate the lid o-ring with silicone lubricant each time the lid is removed. The o-ring should be cleaned and inspected every time the strainer pot is opened. -
