Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand
have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
CAUTION
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never be on when
the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated with the valve closed,
explosive situation could exist.
1.
Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves
to allow water to flow into the sand filter pump. With water flowing into sand filter pump, the
water pressure will allow the air trapped inside to escape from the air release valves
(19)
.
When all the air has escaped water will flow out of the valves
(19)
. When this occurs gently
finger tighten the valves
(19)
in a clockwise direction.
2.
Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not
covered and directed to a proper draining receptacle.
3.
Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and turn
it to the “
BACKWASH
” position
(see drawings 24 & 29)
.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve,
always depress the valve handle before turning.
Always switch off pump before changing the 6-way
valve position.
4.
Switch on the pump
(see drawing 30)
. Water is circulating
backward through the sand media and to waste/drain
outlet. Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed
in the waste/drain outlet or through the drain sediment
window.
NOTE:
The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to
remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand
media.
