STARTING THE PUMP AND FILTER SYSTEM P6
2. Close the filter drain. Note:
plug requires an O ring seal.
3. Open all system valves to allow water from the pool to the filtration system and from the filter to return to the
pool.
4. Place the manual Air relief valve in an OPEN position.

Pool and spa circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any
part of the circulating system (i.e. lock ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is
ser viced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Filter Lid and
pre-filter cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation.
Place pre-filter / filter air relief valve open and wait for all pressure in the
system to be relieved before remove the lib to access the basket for
cleaning.
3.2 STARTING PUMP
Stand clear of pump during start-up
1 When starting the system pump, do not stand over or near the filter. If water leakage appears at the clamp,
Turn off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water leakage
has stopped. Reassemble the clamp system per the instructions of the previous page in this owner ’s manual
2. Return to the filter and only CLOSE the manual air relief valve if a steady stream of water escapes from the
valve and not air or an air-water mix.

3.3 OPERATION
Figure 4
Filtration starts as soon as the flow is steady through the filter. As the filter removes
dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a
result, the pressure will rise and the flow will decrease.
1. Record the initial starting pressure which is the initial pressure reading when a
new filter element is working under filtration conditions.
2. Ever y time after reinstalling “new filter element” or “after cleaned filter cartridge
element”, make sure the system is under filtration condition, then turn the START
arrow to the pressure gauge pointer position to indicate the Start pressure.
