4. Tighten the lid by verifying the “locked” indicators
on the lid are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand
tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure all valves
are open and the pump unions are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
6. Once the pump has primed and water comes out of
the air relief valve on the lter, close the air relief
valve and inspect the system for any leaks.
NOTE All pumps in this manual are NSF-certified
as being able to prime at heights up to 10 ft above
the pool water level, at sea level. However, to
achieve better self-priming, install the pump as
close as possible to the water level of the pool.
See Installation Recommendations in Section 3.2.3 for
proper elevation and pipe size.
The default priming speed is 2750 RPM. The pump will
take approximately 15 minutes to prime at this priming
speed when the pump is located 10 feet above the pool
water. If priming speed is adjusted to 3450 RPM, the
pump should prime within 6 minutes at 10 feet above the
water level.
If the pump does not prime and all the instructions to this
point have been followed, check for a suction leak. If
there is no leak, repeat Steps 1 through 5.

Section 5. Service & Maintenance
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the plastics, do not use lubricant or
sealant on the o-ring. Only soapy water should be used to
install and lubricate the o-ring.
Clean Pump Basket
Debris that accumulates in the pump lter basket
will begin to block the ow of water. For optimal
pump performance, the pump lter basket needs to be
inspected and cleaned on a weekly basis. Depending on
the location and environment of the pool, more frequent
inspection may be required.
1. Inspect the pump lter basket for debris by looking
through the clear pump lid. This can be done
with or without the pump running. If debris has
accumulated, proceed to step 2.
2. Turn o the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below the water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent backow of water.
3. Turn the locking ring counter-clockwise until
'START' aligns with the ports. Remove the lid.
4. Lift the basket out of the pump.
5. Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean the
basket, making sure all the holes are open. Using
a garden hose, spray the basket from the outside to
help clear the holes. Remove any remaining debris.
6. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the
opening with the suction pipe. If aligned properly,
the basket will drop easily into place. Do not force
it into place.
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be improperly
seated, allowing an air leak, which could result in pump
damage.
7. Remove the lid seal and remove debris around the
lid seal seat, as this can allow air to leak into the
system. Clean the lid seal and place it on the lid.
8. Replace the lid with locking ring. Hand-tighten the
lid to make an air-tight seal. Do not use any tools to
tighten the lid: hand-tighten only.
9. Verify that all valves have been returned to the
proper position for normal operation.
10. Open the pressure release valve on the lter, and
make sure it is clean and ready for operation.
11. Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the air has
been evacuated from the lter, close the pressure
release valve.
5.1 Removing the Pump Lid
1. Make sure that the pump is turned OFF.
2. Make sure that the switch to the circuit breaker to
the motor is turned OFF.
3. Make sure all necessary isolation valves are closed
to prevent water from reaching the pump.
4. Following the markings on the locking ring, turn
the ring counter-clockwise until the ‘START’
markings align with the ports. See Figures 16.
5. Carefully remove the lid with locking ring.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off all switches and the main breaker in the variable-
speed pump electrical circuit before starting the procedure.
Failure to comply may cause a shock hazard resulting in
severe personal injury or death.
