technician.
Higher filter pressure. 1. Insufficient cleaning of the filter element. Clean the filter element (see Cleaning Filter instructions).
2. Partially closed valve or restriction. Open valve or remove obstruction in return line.
Short filter cycles. 1. Insufficient cleaning of filter element. Clean the filter element (see Cleaning Filter instructions).
2. Pool chemistry not adequate to inhibit algae growth. Maintain pool chemistry or consult pool service technician.
3. Flow rate too high.
Restrict flow to capacity of filter.

in suction line.
SECTION X. PUMP INSTRUCTIONS
Systems are supplied with either the Maxim or the Dynamo Pump.
1. TO PRIME PUMP - (pump must be off).
Unscrew the lid from the pot and fill the pot with water to level of the suction line. Inspect O-ring,
lubricate with silicone lubricant. Screw the lid into the pot, hand tighten, lid shoulder will come to
rest on the pot surface. Turn the pump on, priming time will vary depending upon elevation above
water level and horizontal distance of suction line. If the filter is installed, open the air relief valve
(before turning the pump on) until a steady stream of water comes out, then close the air relief valve.
The pump is now primed. If the pump is installed below water level, close the return line prior to filling
the hair and lint pot with water. Line must be re-opened before turning the pump on.
2. TO CLEAN BASKET - (pump must be off)
Follow the instructions above to prime the pump. After removing the lid, remove the basket and
empty the debris. Replace the basket and proceed to fill the pot with water. It is important to visually
inspect the basket, through the see through lid, at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the
efficiency of your system, and can put an abnormal load on the pump which could result in costly
repair bills.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, only connect to a GFCI protected receptacle. Failure to do
so could result in an electrical shock to pool users, installers, or others which can result in
serious personal injury or death.
