OPERATING THE PUMP 13/20
PRIMING
The default setting for Priming is ENABLED. This setting allows
the pump to automatically detect if it is primed for startup.
The priming feature increases the pump speed to 1800 RPM and
pauses for three (3) seconds. If there is sufficient water flow in
the pump basket, the pump will go out of priming mode and run
its commanded speed.
If the water flow is not sufficient, the pump speed will increase
to the “Priming Speed” setting and remain for the priming delay
time (default 20 seconds). If there is sufficient water flow in the
pump basket at this time, it will exit priming mode and transition
to the commanded speed.
If there is still insufficient flow in the pump basket, as determined by the Priming Range
setting, the pump will try to prime at the “Priming Speed” for the amount of time set in
the “Maximum Priming Time” menu. Once the pump achieves prime, it will resume normal
operation after the preset priming delay.
Note: It is possible to set “Maximum Speed” too low for the pump to properly prime. Maximum
Speed will limit Priming Speed, except in one case. If the Maximum Speed is set below the
lowest available Priming Speed (2400 RPM) then the pump will exceed the Maximum Speed
while the priming feature is running. This prevents the pump from having trouble priming if
the Maximum Speed is set this low. If this is a problem, priming can be disabled in the Priming
Menu.
