hose connector then aoach hose connector to the “DOWNFLOW INLET” portal and backflush
the system. (NOTE: briefly running water into the “DOWNFLOW INLET” to backflush the
system will not harm the system.) Watch for any flushed debris. Re-aoach system. 4- The
sanita:on system may have been incorrectly installed with the water flowing into the
“DOWNFLOW INLET” portal instead of the correct method of water entering the “UPFLOW
INLET”. If the system has ran incorrectly installed for an extended period of :me the system
may be damaged.
TIPS
✓
Keep all pool toys and equipment, i.e. poles, nets, hoses, etc., in a sunny place where
they will thoroughly dry. Keeping them in a shaded place may cause algae/bacteria/
mold or mildew growth which could be introduced into the chemical free pool water.
The same applies to enclosed storage bins.
✓
Keep only ONE (1) chlorine tablet in the skimmer un:l it is reduced to half-dollar size
then add another tablet oxygenate dead bacteria.
✓
Chlorine tablets can be purchased individually wrapped to avoid chlorine fumes.
✓
Maintain the wall and floor surface with a suc:on or pressure system to dislodge any
bacteria that may try to aoach.
✓
Wash all garments worn to a river or lake before wearing them into the pool. This will
remove any bacteria.
✓
Monitor and maintain the PH level. The system operates with PH levels of 6.6- 9.0. The
system will not perform outside this level.
✓
Although the sanita:on will system will work with all filter types, it’s much easier with
a sand-filter which is simply backwashed as needed.
✓
A rare shock treatment may be needed. Shock the pool aner swim ac:vity and allow
running overnight or as long to circulate the pool water through the system to de-
chlorinate the water.
✓
When transferring your pool from salt to fresh water it is not recommended to empty
the pool as it may ‘float’ thereby causing great damage! Salt water will dissipate over
:me as fresh water is introduced by rain and refilling due to evapora:on, etc.
✓
Always turn the pool pump off before adjus:ng pool filtra:on and sanita:on
equipment.
✓
Always detach the system BEFORE winterizing the pool. Then place the system full of
water where it will not freeze! DO NOT DRAIN THE WATER FROM THE SYSTEM!
✓
Overhanging trees may affect phosphate levels in the pool. If possible trim back
branches that extend over the pool.
✓
Nitrates from fer:lizers and plant and lawn growth enhancers may have run-off during
watering or rain. Nitrates will cause pool water to turn green. Make certain pooed
plants and flower beds will not run-off into pool.
