STEP SEVEN - OPERATING THE FILTER
NOTE: Your filter cannot be run if the water is not at the proper level
in the pool. Running the filter without water can cause serious
damage to your pump and filter system.
• Prime filter prior to starting up filter system. DO NOT turn pump on until system has been
primed, you can damage your pump.
• Prior to setting up the filter system, ensure that the pump is off, as failure to do so will cause spider
valve to malfunction and damage top mount valve. Pump must be off anytime valve handle is depressed
and moved to any of the various functions.
• To use filter, with pump OFF, push down on selector handle on valve and turn to notch
labeled FILTER.
• When pressure through return fades and pressure gauge reads 5 psi above starting pressure,
you will need to backwash the filter system to remove debris.
• The WASTE position does not allow water to pass through filter. If there is a need for you to take
water directly out of pool, WASTE is the position to do so. You may also vacuum on waste to
remove serious debris. Remember, this will reduce water level. If water level drops below
skimmer level you MUST turn pump OFF!
• NEVER MOVE SELECTOR HANDLE WHEN PUMP IS ON! PUMP MUST BE OFF.
Failure to do so will cause damage to valve and will void WARRANTY!
• Make sure water in pool is up to middle of skimmer(s) and that there is nothing blocking
water flow from return(s) and skimmer(s) (i.e. plug, plate, etc.).
• Push down selector handle on valve and turn to notch labeled BACKWASH. Let go of handle
and the valve is now in backwash position. Make sure backwash hose (sold separately) is
attached to the WASTE port so water will not spray all over you once pump is started.
• Be sure skimmer and return lines are filled with water. When water level is at proper height in
pool this should happen naturally.
• Plug in and switch on pump. When pump starts up, water will come out through backwash hose.
• When all air is purged from the system, turn pump off. If all air is not purged out of system,
double check all connections to make sure they are properly tightened and try again.
• Connect pump to power to start filter operation.
• Note pressure gauge reading at this time.
• Turn pump off before moving selector to BACKWASH position. Once in backwash, turn pump back on.
• Water will come out through Waste port, so position backwash hose where you would like
water to run out.
• NEVER backwash for longer than ONE MINUTE at a time! Backwashing longer than one
minute will cause sandblasting of internal components and can lead to damage of the
standpipe and/or hub and VOIDS WARRANTY.
• Turn pump off and move selector to RINSE position. Rinse will allow water to flow through
to clear out the lines and prevent a puff of sand or debris back into pool after backwashing.
• Rinse for approximately 15 seconds and turn off pump again. Move selector back to
FILTER and turn pump back on. You are now filtering water.
