Installation & Operation Manual
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
WARNING
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.
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 this procedure. For
Zodiac Technical Support, call 800.822.7933. In
Canada, call 1-888-647-4004.
Section 4. Operation
4.1 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, severe personal
injury or death, verify that all power is turned off
before starting this procedure.
Contact Opening
If the pump speed is below 1725 RPM, the Auxiliary
Load contact is opened. Contact openings are always
immediate.
3.5 Remove Pump Lid
1. Make sure that the pump is turned off.
2. Make sure that the switch to the circuit breaker that
powers the pump motor is turned off.
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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARd
Due to the potential risk of fire, electric shock,
or injuries to persons, Zodiac® Pumps must be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical
Code
®
(NEC
®
), all local electrical and safety codes,
and the occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Copies of the NEC may be ordered from the National
Protection Association, 470 Atlantic Ave., Boston,
MA 02210, or from your local government inspection
agency.
In Canada, Zodiac Pumps must be installed in
accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC).
3. Make sure all necessary isolation valves are closed
to prevent pool 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 15 and
16.
5. Carefully remove the lid with locking ring.
3.6 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.
