START UP
WARNING
!
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Risk of severe injury or major property damage if tank explodes. READ the
entire procedure before starting system or disassembling filter.
1. Turn pump OFF before starting procedure.
2. Properly seat filter clamps and securely tighten clamp knobs before proceeding.
NOTICE
1. Tightly close plugs on Tank Drain Port (Figure 2).
2. Open air release valve located on top of filter tank head.
NOTICE
Air trapped inside the filter greatly increases the explosion hazard. The air release valve allows you to get
accumulated air out of the filter tank. At startup, open the air release valve and make sure that it is running
a solid stream of water before putting the filter in service.
1. Start pump.
2. When a steady stream of water comes from air release valve, close valve.
3. After filter is operating, record filter pressure gauge reading in owner’s manual for future use.
NOTICE
When installed on a new pool, filter element may need cleaning after approximately 48 hours of operation.
NOTICE
A new or recently cleaned filter element may pass some foreign material until it builds up a sufficient coating
to stop all ”fines”. This is normal. A short operational period will correct the condition.
Check pressure gauge. If pressure has risen more than 10 PSI (70kPa) above startup pressure, remove
and clean element.
