6.1 WATER CHEMISTRY
WINTERIZING FILTER P10
In areas where subfreezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be drained to protect the filter from
damage.
1.The filter should be disassembled and the filter cartridges elements cleaned or replaced.
2.Follow directions under FILTER DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
3.Then follow REMOVING CARTRIDGES per instructions
4.Reassemble per FILTER RE-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
5.Be sure to leave the drain plug unattached during the winter season to avoid cracking the filter body.
6. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Low water Flow
SHORT FILTER CYCLES
POOL WATER REMAINS CLOUDY
REMEDY
1.Check skimmer and pump
strainer baskets for debris.
2.Check for restrictions in
intake and discharge lines.
4.Clean Filter Cartridges
1.Check for algae in the pool
and super-chlorinate as
required.
2.Be sure chlorine and pH
levels are in a proper range
(adjust as required).
1.Check chlorine, pH, and total
alkalinity levels and adjust as
required.
2.Be sure the flow rate through
the filter is sufficient.
3.Operate filter for longer
periods.
3 Check for air leak in intake
line indicated by bubbles
returning to pool).

4.5 REMOVING THE MANUAL AIR RELEASES VALVE
The filter comes with a preinstalled manual air relief valve. Ser vicing the Manual Air Release Valve (MAR) should be
carried out by pool professionals only by carefully following the instructions:
1.Turn off all system circulation pumps and all-electric power on the equipment pad.
2.Set all system valves in a position to prevent water from flowing to the filter.
3.The manual air release valve must be placed in the OPEN position.
4.Wait until all water leakage has stopped.
5.Grasp the Relief valve Nut at the release position, turn the Nut counterclockwise until the Air gauge indicator is
on the “0” position on the upper filter body.
6.Keep on turning the Nut of the release valve until it leaves the Upper filter body.
4.5.1 VACUUMING POOL
1.Check the condition of the O-ring, replace as necessar y
2.With a clean cloth, wipe the upper filter body and O-ring groove. Remove all dirt and debris.
3.Twist the Nut of the Release valve with the tool until it’s tightened on top of the upper filter body.
4.Making sure the nut of the Release valve is tight.
5.Verify the MAR discharge points away from all electrical connections.
4.4.4 VACUUMING POOL
Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter whenever needed.
Clean cartridges after vacuuming, if required.
