4.14 Starting the pump:
a) Ensure all outlets are closed, turn power supply ‘on’ - pump will start,
pressurise the system then stop.
b) Open and close all outlets in turn associated with the pump, allowing water to
flow from each outlet until all air is purged. As each outlet is opened and
closed, the pump will start and stop respectively.
Note: After closing the outlet there will be a small time delay before the pump
stops, which is normal.
c) Any tap or control valve within the system when opened and closed will now
turn the pump on/off. Providing this is the case the system is now operating
correctly.
d) Carefully check pump and pipework for leaks whilst pump running and
stationary before leaving the installation unattended.
 Do not run pump without guards and terminal box lid correctly
fitted.
 The pump chamber must be full of water at all times. Seal
damage will result if the pump runs dry.

4 COMMISSIONING
4.11 System Flushing
The pipework system should be flushed out prior to the pump
being connected to ensure any contaminants/chemical residues
and foreign bodies are removed from elsewhere in the system.
4.12 Water Supply: Always ensure that water storage capacity is adequate to meet
the demand. Ensure the pump chamber is full of water before starting the pump.
Failure to do this could result in seal damage. To ensure dry running does not
occur the pump must be primed as described in priming section below.
Do not run pump dry.
4.13 Priming: Prior to switching the
pump on and connecting the
outlet hoses to the system
pipework the pump chamber
must be primed. The pump must
be primed (filled with water)
before starting. Turn on water
supply, prime and vent the pump
by unscrewing the priming plug
(Fig. 6) slowly until all air escapes
and water emerges. Re-tighten
the plug.
