3. Filter's Start-Up
1.Make sure the correct amount of filter sand is in tank and that all connections have been correctly
made and are secured.
2.Push the down control valve handle and rotate to BACKWASH position. (To prevent damage to
the control valve seal, always push down the handle before turning.)
3.Start the pump according to the pump manual.Never tun pump dry
!
Running pump dry may
damage seals, causing leakage and flooding
!
(Make sure all the suction and return lines are
opened), allowing the filter tank to fill in with water. Once the water is flowing out it removes any
fine sand particles and impurities from the sand media.
4.Stop the pump and set valve to the RINSE position. Start the pump and operate for 1 minute until
water is clear. Stop the pump and set the valve to the FILTER position and then restart the pump.
The filter is now operating at the normal filtering mode, removing dirt particles from the pool water.
5) Adjust the pool suction and the return valves to achieve desired flow. Check the system and the
filter for water leaks and tighten the connections, bolts, nuts, as required.
6.Acknowledge the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter is clean. (It will vary from each
pool depending on the pump and general piping system.) As the filter removes dirt and impurities
from the pool water , the accumulation in the filter will cause the pressure to rise and flow to
diminish. When the pressure gauge reading is 1.5 BAR higher than the initial "clean" pressure you
noticed, then it is time to backwash the filter (see BACKWASH under filter and control valve
functions).
NOTE: During initial clean-up of the pool water it may be necessary to backwash
frequently due to the unusually heavy initial dirt load in the water.
