7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 Multiport Valve Control

The flow of water through the filter is controlled by the 
multiport valve on the top of the filter tank. The handle on 
top of the valve can be moved to any one of six positions, 
which have the following functions:

Valve Position  

Function

FILTER   

 

 Normal filtration and 
vacuuming through filter.

BACKWASH 

 

Clean the filter.

RINSE   

 

 Used on initial filter start-up 
and after backwash to prevent 
dirt in the sand returning to 
the pool.

WASTE   

 

 By-passes the filter; used 
for vacuuming to waste, or 
draining the pool.

RECIRCULATE 

 

 By-passes the filter to 
circulating water to the pool or 
to boost spa jets.

CLOSED   

 

 Shuts off all flow to the filter.  
Do not run pump.

CAUTION Never shift the valve handle 
position while the pump is running.

This filter tank must not be operated 
under vacuum. Should leaf baskets or 
suction lines become clogged, blocked 
or closed, filter damage not covered by 
guarantee may occur (particularly if an 
auxiliary pump is installed in line down 
stream of the filter). Never vacuum 
while backwashing.

8. NORMAL FILTER CYCLE

1.  Set the valve to filter and start the pump.
2.   With a clean filter, record the pressure gauge reading 

or mark the needle position on the pressure gauge.

3.   Operate the filter each day for a sufficient time to turn 

over the water in the pool once every day. The filter 
should also be operated at all times the pool is in use 
and for about one hour afterwards. During the winter, 
the running time may be reduced.

4.   When the pressure gauge reading is 40 – 50kPa higher 

than the clean filter gauge reading as in (2) above, it 
will be necessary to clean or backwash the filter (refer 
to section 9 - Backwashing the Filter).

9. BACKWASHING THE FILTER

When the filter gauge reading is 40 - 50kPa above the 
clean filter gauge reading, cleaning or backwashing is 
required.  To perform the backwash operation:
1.   Shut off the pump. Be sure to disconnect any automatic 

vacuum cleaner.

2.  Shift the valve handle to backwash.
3.   Start the pump and run until the water appears clean 

through the sight glass (this will take two or three 
minutes).

4.  Shut off the pump and turn the valve handle to rinse.
5.  Start the pump and run for approximately one minute.
6.  Shut off the pump and turn the valve handle to filter.
7.  Start the pump; a new filter cycle has now begun.
8.   If a backwash cycle does 

not

 reduce the operating 

pressure of the filter, the media will need to be 
changed.

WARNING - FILTER OPERATES 
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
 
Ensure all lids / closures / clamps 
are correctly secured before operating 
the system. 
Never adjust clamps or change 
valve settings with the system 
under pressure. 
Relieve all pressure from system 
before working on filter.
