7. STARTING THE PUMP

To operate efficiently and prevent pump damage
there must be a free flow of water to and from
the pump. Before starting ensure that:
- all pipework is correctly sealed.
- the pool/spa water level is at the correct height.
- that all appropriate valves are open and there
is nothing preventing the flow of water through
the system.
1. First prime the pump by removing the strainer
basket lid and filling the strainer basket area with
water. Replace the lid, ensuring that it seals on
the large oring.
2. Connect to the power supply and switch on.
3. Allow the pump to run, so that any air trapped
may be expelled.
4. If prime is not established within approximately
two minutes, as evidenced by a strong flow
of water, switch off the pump and repeat the
procedure. Continued evidence of air under the
strainer basket lid indicates an air leak in the
suction piping which should be rectified to avoid
pump damage.

8. PUMP OPERATION

For optimum pump performance, the strainer
basket housing should always be full of water and
free from air bubbles. The water level of the pool
should always be maintained to at least halfway up
the skimmer box ensuring water is in the pump at
all times. From time to time it may be necessary to
re-prime the pump. This should be carried out as
described above.
Never run pump dry. Running the
pump with no water may damage the
mechanical seals, causing leakage
and flooding. Dry running damage
and associated damage is not covered
under warranty. Silensor incorporates
dry run protection which will need to be
re-set by turning off the power supply,
reducing potential damage.

8.1 Emptying the strainer basket

The strainer basket should be inspected frequently
through the transparent lid and emptied when a
build up of rubbish is evident. The directions below
should be followed.
1. Switch off pump.
2. Close all valves in pipework.
3. Unscrew the strainer basket lid anti-clockwise and
remove.
4. Remove the strainer basket by lifting upwards
from its housing.
5. Empty the trapped refuse from the basket. Hose
out with water if necessary.
6. Check the strainer basket for cracks, replace the
strainer basket in the pump if OK.
7. Replace the lid and ensure that it seals on the
large rubber oring. Firm hand tightness only is
required. The oring & thread can be lubricated
with Hydra slip or equivalent products.
8. Open all valves in pipework.
Failure to undertake regular
maintenance may cause damage not
covered by warranty.
