Waterflow / function
Filtering
Position 1
Figure 19
Regular pool filter action and vacuuming of the pool. This is the setting the filter will be set to
most of the time
.
In this position, water is directed through the top of the filter where it
compresses and flattens down the sand. Contaminants are trapped by the sand as water
makes it way to the bottom strainer, out of the filter and back to the pool.
Rinse
Position 2
Figure 20
Use after backwashing to clean the filter bed
.
This should always be done immediately after
backwashing, new sand addition or filter start-up
.
In this position, water is directed to the top of
the tank where it flushes the valve while sending water out the waste line.
Circulation
Position 3
Figure 21
Circulate water after chemical treatment
.
This position is used during certain pool cleanups
and chemical treatments when you do not want the water contaminating the sand
.
In this
position, water is only directed through the valve back to the pool and does not filter through
the sand.
Backwash
Position 4
Figure 22
Clean filter of captured debris
.
This is the position needed to clean the filter/the sand
.
You will
know it is time to backwash when the pressure gauge rises 0,3 to 0,6 bar above what it
normally reads when the filter is clean
.
In this position, water is directed through the bottom
strainer, reversing the flow through the tank
.
This causes the sand to separate and lift while
releasing trapped debris out the waste line.
Closed
Position 5
Figure 23
Cleaning the hair and lint strainer. This position stops the flow of water into the pump and filter.
CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this position.
Purge/drain
Position 6
Figure 24
Bypass the filter
.
This position is ideal for vacuuming pools with large amounts of debris or
after an algae treatment
.
In this position, water bypasses the filter and sends all the water and
contaminates out the waste line.
Winterizing
Position 7
Figure 25
winterizing and storage
.
In this position, the valve lever is between positions which removes
pressure from internal valve components for winter (off-season) storage.
CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this position.
