Install Working Valve for Startup (after the pool is filled)
1.
Turn pump off at the pool pump.
2.
Loosen the bolt on band clamp and remove the band clamp and clear lid.
3.
Clean any construction debris from the interior and top edge of the valve
housing.
4.
Install the cassette (Gear Train) by sliding it onto the center shaft. Spin the
gears and make sure the cassette drops all the way down and the lower gear
engages with the gear train on the housing perimeter.
5.
Place the turbine on the center shaft gear side down. Make sure the gear on
the turbine engages the upper gear on the cassette. Spin the turbine several
times and observe that the white bottom plate is slowly turning. If it does not
the cassette is not in the full “down” position and the lower gear is above the
gear train on the housing perimeter. Push the
cassette down into the gear train if necessary.
6.
Check the positioning of large 0-ring and make
sure it is in the groove on the top of the valve
housing. Remove any debris.
7.
Align the center shaft on the guide pin hole in the
center of the clear lid and gently push the lid
down. The lid should sit firmly on the top of the
valve housing with no wobble. If it does not sit
firmly remove the turbine and press the cassette
down into the gear train.
8.
Replace the band clamp and tighten the bolt
firmly. Do not over tighten.
9.
Turn on the system and allow it to cycle until all of
the protective caps are blown free from the collar
and to allow any additional construction debris to
be blown out of the pipes.
10.
After the interior finish has properly cured (see the
interior finish manufacturer’s specifications) install
the jets in the collars. Make sure to follow the
design plan for proper locations of High Flow Jets
½ opening, and Low Flow Jets 3/16” nozzle.
Improper nozzle sizes in the wrong location can
cause high pressures and water to be forced out
of the pool onto the deck.
OPERATION AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Blue Square Q360 cleaning heads are designed to operate at a specific flow rate
and pressure. To ensure proper circulation and or cleaning, run the system whenever the
pump is on.
Cleaning times will vary according to application and environment. To determine the
optimum cleaning time, run the system 24 hours a day after initial startup. Reduce run
times by four hours every two days until minimum cleaning time is determined. Six hours a
day is recommended as a minimum, but pools with high debris conditions often need
longer cleaning cycles.
