POOL MAINTENANCE

Vacuum Cycle:

1. Attach vacuum hose to skimmer connection.
2. Adjust suction line valves to provide sufficient flow through vacuum tube.
3. Proceed to vacuum. Filtered water will be recirculated back to pool.

Vacuum to Waste Cycle:

If dirt load in pool has built up to the point that vacuuming to waste (bypass-
ing filter) is desirable, proceed as follows:

1. Disassemble filter.

Hazardous pressure. Filter may explode if incorrectly disas-

sembled. To avoid severe injury or major property damage, exactly fol-
low instructions under “Disassembly” (Page 8)!

2. Thread a 1-1/2” 90 degree PVC elbow into female adapter on filter base

(see Figure 18).

3. Attach hose to elbow as shown in Figure 18; run hose to waste water dis-

posal area.

NOTICE: 

Be sure all waste water disposal meets applicable local and state

standards and codes.

4. Make sure Tank Drain Port is closed or plugged.
5. Adjust valves on suction pipe for vacuum operation.
6. Attach vacuum hose to skimmer connection.
