1. Makesurethefilter is workedunder thework pressure,andusing a pressurecontrol valvewhen thesystem
using a booster pump.
2. Ifthepumppositionis higher thanthewater level, it requirestoinstall thebackwatercontrol valve.
3. Ifthepump positionis lower than thewaterlevel, itrequires installing an isolationvalve.It could stop
thewater return backwhenpeople do thegeneral inspection.
4. Reducingtheconnectadapters andhose connectingbendingas less aspossible.Decreasing the water flow
scrub, it could reachthemaximumeffective.
5. Ensure solvents arenotexcessively appliedtofittings as this couldrunintoO-ring and create sealing
problems.
6. Donotover tightenfittings or adapters.
HOWTO USE
1. Inspectthat all theconnections havebeenmadeare correct andsecure.
2. Depress the topmount valvehandleand rotatetothe BACKWASH position.
3. Prime and start the pump according to the pump instructions.
NOTE:ALL SUCTIONAND DISCHARGE VALVESMUST BE OPENING WHEN STARTING THE SYSTEM. FAILURETO
DO SO COULD CAUSESEVEREPERSONALINJURY.
MAKESURETHE FILTERVESSELAREFULL FILL THEWATERBEFORESTARTUP THE PUMP. ORITWILL CAUSE
THE PUMP DAMAGED.
4. Oncewater flowis steadyoutthewasteline,runthepumpfor atleast2minutes. Theinitial back-
washing ofthefilter is recommendedtoremoveanyimpuritiesoffinesandparticles in the sand media.
5. Turn pumpoff andsetvalvetoRINSE position.Startpump andoperateuntilwaterin sightglass is clear----
about 1/2to1minute.Turnpumpoff,setvalvetoFILTERpositionandrestart pump.Your filteris now
operating inthenormal filtermode, filteringparticles from thepool water.
NOTES:
1. Notetheinitial pressuregaugereading whenthefilteris clean.(it will vary from pooldepending uponthe
pumpandgeneral pipingsystem).As thefilter removes dirt andimpuritiesfromthepool water, the
accumulationin thefilter will cause thepressuretorise and flowtodiminish.Whenthe pressure gauge
reading is 8-10PSI(0.55-0.69BAR) higher than theinitial “clean”pressureyou noted, it is thetime to
backwash (clean)thefilter.
2. IMPORTANT:Topreventunnecessary strainonpiping system and valving, always shut off pump before
switching filtercontrol valveposition.
3. Toprevent damagetothepumpandfilter andforproperoperationofthesystem, clean pump strainer and
skimmer baskets regularly.
