1.
Do not operate filter without first reading thoroughly
the manufacturer’s instructions accompanying the filter. If
no instructions were included, contact nearest
manufacturer’s agent and obtain written instructions.
2.
Never operate filter unless motor is connected to
GROUNDED electrical outlet. Never plug in electric cord unless ground
connection is used. Never use any extension cord. Circuit must
be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
3.
PRIMING THE PUMP – This is the process of
removing the air in the pump and the lines over the pool
walls. If a hair and lint pot (strainer) is attached to the
pump, priming may be accomplished by removing the cover,
filling the pot with water and replacing the cover before
starting the pump. If no strainer is present on the pump the
following steps must be taken: Insert a garden hose in the
suction line, forcing the air out of the lines and the pump
unit, until air bubbles ease to be expelled from the discharge
line. Remove garden hose and start motor. If filter has an air
relief valve, open this until a steady stream of water flows,
then close securely. In some filters, prime is retained during
the cleaning process. If after starting unit there is not
steady stream of water, turn motor off and prime unit before
running. Running pump without proper priming may cause damage
to pump seal and unit will leak.
4.
AIR BUBBLES IN THE RETURN LIINE – This may be
caused by air leaks in the suction line (this is the line from
the pool to the front opening to the pump).
Check all connections in this line to see that they are
secure and not allowing air to be drawn into the line.
5.
CAVITAION – This is caused by starving the
pump of sufficient amount of water for proper operation. It
may be due to a restriction in the suction line, an excess
amount of air being taken in with the water or a dirty
strainer.
6.
PULSATION WATER STREAM – Water flowing in
spurts from discharge line, may be due to air leaks in suction
side of unit or cavitation of pump.
