Conduct Pressure Test

WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
When pressure testing the system with water, it is
very important to make sure that the pump basket
lid is completely secure.
1. Fill the system with water, using care to eliminate
trapped air.
2. Pressurize the system with water to no more than
35 PSI.
3. Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the
system.
4. Observe the system for leaks and/or pressure
decay.
5. If there are lid leaks, repeat Steps 1-3. For
technical support, call 800.822.7933.
6. After successfully completing the test, discard the
blue pressure test o-ring.

Start-up

CAUTION
Never run the pump without water. Running the
pump "dry" for any length of time can cause severe
damage to both the pump and motor and will void
the warranty.
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all
piping is clear of construction debris and has been
properly pressure tested. The filter should be checked
for proper installation, verifying that all connections
and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, servere personal
injury or death, verify that all power is turned off
before starting this procedure.
1. Release all pressure from the system and open the
filter pressure release valve.
2. Depending on the location of the pump, do one of
the following:
- If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, open the filter pressure release valve
to prime the pump with water.
- If the pump is located above the water level of
the pool, remove the lid and fill the basket with
water before starting the pump.
3. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around
the lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid o-ring
seat will cause air to leak into the system and will
make it difficult to prime the pump.
4. 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 and the unions
are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump. Then turn on the pump
by following the instructions in the appropriate
manual: ePump Controller Owner's manual,
H0311200, AquaLink
or AquaLink ® PDA Owner's Manual, H0572300.
6. Once all the air has left the filter, close the
pressure release valve.
