Quick Start Manual

To ensure proper water flow:
• UserigidPVCpipewithaminimum
diameter of 3/4”, 1-1/2” is recommended, for
the dedicated return line. Flexible PVC piping
is not recommended as it can be damaged
by expansion and movement caused by the
surge of pump pressure. Poly pipe is not rec-
ommended because it has clamps that can
fail. Polaris is not responsible for damages
caused by the use of such materials.
• Theboosterpumpinletconnectionline
should be at least 3/4” pipe. The Softube
®
quick connect is designed to work
with the Polaris reinforced hose
(part #P19) only.
• Donottapintothetopofahorizontalline.
• Use90°streetellstominimizebendsand
loops in the Polaris reinforced hose.
Recommended plumbing configurations.
Installing the Pump
1. Mount the pump using four concrete
expansion anchors to ensure stability.
2. If rotation (or removal) of volute is necessary:
 • RemovevoluteandcleanRTVsealant 
from the sealing surfaces of all components.
 • Thoroughlydrycomponents.
 • Applya1/8”beadofRTVsealant
around the sealing surface of the volute
approximately 1/4” from the inner diameter
of the sealing area.
 • Reinstalltheo-ring,withoutsealant.
 • Orientthevoluteasneededandreattach.
3. Slide the quick connect retainer ring over the
Softube quick connect threads. Install quick
connects onto pump discharge and supply
ports using clear silicone as a thread sealant.
4. Measure and cut reinforced hose ensuring
cut is clean, with no more than a 30º
off
straight edge . Avoid unnecessary loops or
bends in the hose.
5. Push the hose onto the quick connect until it
is flush against the hose barb base.
6. Holding the hose in place, pull and twist the
sleeve on the quick connect over the hose as
far as possible. Snap the clip into place.
Checking Water Flow
After the system is plumbed, verify water flow to
the booster pump by turning on the filtration pump
and disconnecting the inlet supply line at the
pump. Water should flow from the line.
