TESTING The system was factory tested prior to shipment, but leaks and other damage can occur during shipment. 1. Remove the top of the circulating pump strainer, and fill the strainer with water. Replace the strainer lid. This allows the pump to be primed. Do not operate the pump prior to filling the strainer with water, or damage to the pump will occur. 2. Open the valves from the treatment tank to the pump, and from the sand filter to the treatment tank, (valve handles in line with the direction of flow). Ensure that the outlet valve from the polish filter is closed, and that all drain valves are closed. Open the valve from the polish filter to the chlorinator. 3. Start the circulating pump by operating the switch on the control panel. 4. Observe the pressure gauges on both fibers to ensure that no pressures exceed 40 psi at any time. If these pressures are exceeded, 1MMEDIATELY stop the system, disconnect the electrical supply, and investigate the cause. Adjust the valve from the sand filter to the treatment tank until the pressure gauge on the sand filter registers 20 psi with the system operating. 5. Allow the circulating pump to operate for 10 to 15 minutes, and observe the system for until all leaks have been corrected, and the circulating pump has operated for a period of 15 minutes without any further leaks occurring. 6. With the circulating pump operating, carefully open the air bleed valves on top of each filter in turn, and allow the air to escape until water appears at the bleed valve. Shut each valve when this occurs. 7. Manually raise the low level float and note that the circulating pump shuts off. If the pump does not shut off, shut down the pump and correct the problem. 8. Start the system feed pump (also known as the sump pump, or transfer pump), and adjust it to pump at a rate just above the maximum rate of reuse. Please refer to the Table 1 for guidance on the maximum rates of instantaneous and daily flow. WITH THE PUMP OPERATING, loosen the union securing the oil skimmer bar in the coalescer so that the slot is 1/4" to 3/8" above the level of the water, and retighten the union. This adjustment allows for an accumulation of oil on top of the coalescer of 2" to 3" prior to oil flowing out of the coalescer. This is the correct operation. If the bar is set too low, water will flow out of the coalescer with the oil. If the bar is set too high, oil will accumulate in the coalescer, and eventually flow into the treatment tank with the water. This may cause the sand in the sand filter to become blinded, and have to be replaced. 12
