HOW TO USE:
1. Inspect all connections have been made and are secure.
2. Depress the top mount valve handle and rotate to BACKWASH position.
3. Prime and start pump according to the pump instructions.
NOTE
All suction and discharge valves must be opened when starting the system. Failure to do so can cause
severe personal injury. Make sure the filter vessel are full. Fill the water before start-up the pump. Failure
to do so can cause damage to the pump.
4. Once water flows steadily out of the waste line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes. The initial back-
washing of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities of fine sand.
5. Turn the pump off and set the valve to
RINSE
position. Start the pump and operate until water in the
sight window is clear. Turn the pump off and set the valve to the FILTER position and restart the pump.
Your filter is now operating in the normal filter mode, filtering particles from the pool water.
INSTALLATION
1. NOTE: The initial pressure gauge reading when the filter is clean. As the filter removes the dirt and
debris, the accumulation in the filter will cause the pressure to rise and flow to diminish. When the
pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.55 - 0.69 BAR) higher than the initial “clean” pressure you noted,
it is time to backwash the filter.
2. IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary strain on the piping system and valving, always shut off the
pump before switching the filter control valve position.
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean the pump strainer
and skimmer baskets regularly.
FILTER CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS
FILTER
: Set valve to filter for normal filtering. Also use for regular vacuuming.
BACKWASH
: For cleaning the filter. When the filter pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI (0.55 - 0.69 BAR)
above start-up. Clean Pressure: Stop the pump, set valve to
BACKWASH
. Start the pump and backwash
until the water in sight window is clear. Approximately 2 minutes or less depending on the dirt accumulation.
Proceed to RINSE.
RINSE
: After backwashing, with the pump off, set the valve to RINSE . Start pump and operate for about
1/2 - 1 minute. This ensures that the dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the filter to waste,
preventing possible return to the pool. Stop the pump and set the valve to FILTER and start pump for
normal filtering.
WASTE
: To bypass the filter for draining or lowering the water level and for vacuuming heavy debris
directly to waste.
