Vacuum Cleaning

1. Switch pump OFF.

2. Set  multifunction  valve  to  FILTER

position.

3. Position  vacuum  plate  in  skimmer  box

after  first  checking  MAIN DRAIN
CONTROL PLUG  is  screwed  into
bottom main drain port.

4. Expel  air  from  vacuum  hose.  This  can

be  done  simply  by  connecting  hose  to 
vacuum  head  and  submersing  it  in  the
pool.  Switch  pump  ON  then  place 
other  end  of  hose  on  return  to  pool 
inlet  thus  filling  hose  with  water  and  at
the  same  time  expelling  air.  Switch 
pump OFF.

5. Fix  handle  to  vacuum  head  and

connect  free  end  of  hose  into  skimmer 
box vacuum plate.

6. Switch  pump  ON  and  proceed  to

vacuum clean the pool.

A  useful  hint: when  lowering  the  pool
level with multifunction valve set in WASTE
position  only,  vacuum  cleaning  may  be
performed  at  the  same  time  as  under  this
condition  the  filter  will  not  collect  sludge
and  debris  as  it  will  be  all  discharged  to
waste.

Important:  Under  no  circumstances  must
the  vacuum  cleaning  operation  be
performed  with  the  multifunction  valve  set
in 

BACKWASH 

or 

RECIRCULATE

positions.

Maintenance Procedure

Your  Poolrite  Diatomaceous  Earth  Filter
system  should  be  serviced  regularly  every
6  months  as  follows  to  ensure  trouble
free efficient operation.

Clean Internal Septums

1. After backwashing and with multifunction

valve  still  in  BACKWASH  position
switch pump OFF. If pump is below pool
water  level,  close  valve  on  pump
suction line.

2. Loosen  air  relief  valve  to  allow  water

to drain from tank to waste.

3. Remove  the  metal  clamp  band  that

joins the filter tank top and bottom.

4. Lift  UP  internal  septum  manifold 

assembly  from  its  seat  on  the  vertical
white pipe in the tank bottom.

5. Place  the  top  of  the  manifold  on  the

ground. 

The 

individual 

septums

(candles)  can  now  be  removed  by
gripping  each  septum  at  the  manifold
end  and  then  pulling  to  one  side.  The
septum  will  simply  clip  out  of  the
manifold.

6. Septums  should  be  individually  hosed

and  annually  soaked  in  detergent  and
hot  water,  then  scrubbed  with  a
bathroom  nail  brush  to  remove  algae
etc. from pores of cloth.

7. Under  some  circumstances  cloth  may

become  clogged  with  calcium.  This  can
be  removed  by  soaking  in  10  parts
water  to  1  part  hydrochloric  acid  for
approximately  1  hour.  A  large  plastic
rubbish bin can be used for this purpose.

8. After  cleaning,  replace  septums  in

manifold  by  bumping  in  with  palm  of 
hand  or  block  of  wood  and  then
reposition in tank.

9. Clean  tank  flanges  and  ‘O’  Ring

thoroughly  then  coat  ‘O’  Ring  with
petroleum jelly and fit to tank bottom.

10. Replace  tank  top  and  refit  clamp  band

– do not over tighten.

11. Open  valve  on  pump  section  line  if

pump is below water level.

12. Refer to “Starting Up Procedure”.
