START UP PROCEDURE
CJ-Series Cartridge Filters are a simple and effective unit which will provide years of trouble-free service
if the following maintenance procedures are maintained.
Starting the filtration system either from new or after cleaning is exactly the same.
1.
Make sure the cartridge(s) are in place and the lid is securely fastened
2.
Ensure that all valves installed before or after the filter are open (if applicable).
3.
Ensure that the filter is plumbed correctly. Pipe from pump outlet must be attached to the
filter inlet port.
4.
Loosen the air bleed screw on top of the filter lid.
5.
Prime the swimming pool pump.
(Refer to the pump installation and operation manual).
6.
Turn on the swimming pool pump and allow the pump to run until all the air has been expelled
from the filter vessel. Water will run from the air bleed screw.
7.
Tighten the air bleed screw closed.
8.
Verify that there is good water flow back to the pool.
9.
The filter is primed and ready for operation.
In some cases, this may be required to be done a few times before the unit will remain primed and be
fully operational.
IMPORTANT:
After startup, take note of what your pressure gauge
reads (when the cartridges are clean)
–
this is your baseline filter
operation pressure.
You may wish to write this on your filter’s label
or record this in your notes. This will help you determine when
maintenance is needed.
Do not stand over the lid when adjusting the air bleed to purge the system of air. Injury may
occur if air bleed screw comes loose.
