CLEANING THE FILTRATION SYSTEM
For optimum cleaning efficiency, routinely clean the
pump basket, skimmer and filter screens. Backwash or
clean the pool filter whenever pressure increases 5-10 psi
above normal clean-filter operating pressure or if you
notice dirty spots between the jets.
CHANGING CLEANING HEADS
The cleaning jets must be in the full down position before
removal.
1.
Attach the Jet Removal Tool to the pool pole
2.
Snap tool into the jet
3.
Turn counter-clockwise to release head from
collar
4.
Pull and lift the jet out of the collar
To reinstall, simply insert head into collar and turn
clockwise to lock into position.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Blue Square Q360 cleaning system displays the following actions, adjustments may
be necessary to restore performance. Refer to exploded parts diagram for part
references.
Action: Dirty Spots appear
Solution: Clean the pool filter, pump basket and skimmer baskets.
Make sure all auxiliary valves (surface returns, waterfall, spa overflow, etc.) are closed.
If you have a variable speed pump, check to make sure the pump is running at a
sufficient RPM as recommended by your pool builder.
Action: Dirt is trapped between heads
Solution: Verify that the water flows from the jet nozzle on each side of dirty spot are not
apposing one another. To change the cleaning jet flow direction, press the jet down 5-6
times while it is in the up position and the water is flowing out of the nozzle.
Actions: Cleaning jet advances, but is not cleaning, (dirt remains near the jet.)
Solution: Remove the cleaning jet with the jet removal tool. Check for debris lodged in
the nozzle. Make sure the jet freely travels up and down and ratchets slightly each time.
If the jet does not, hold the jet in the up position and rinse with water to dislodge internal
debris. Run the pump, while the jet is removed, a full cycle until you see water flow out of
the opening on the problem bank. Let the system run without the jet until you are certain
that all of the debris is blown out of the pipe. Re-insert the cleaning jet with the jet
removal tool.
Action: Cleaning jet will not go down
Solution: Try to gently touch the jet with the pool pole to see if it will retract, if the jet
retract let the system run and see the problem is solved. If the problem recurs, remove
the jet with the jet removal tool. Inspect the cleaning head and collar for or debris. Run
the pump, while the jet is removed, a full cycle through the problem bank, to blow out
any debris. Re-insert the cleaning jet. On variable speed pump applications, you may
need to increase RPM’s to ensure jet fully ratchets to next position.
