OPERATION
1.
Prime pump if hair and lint pot is dry as follows – Close off valve on suction line if present. Remove lint pot lid.
Fill lint pot and chamber with water. Replace and secure lint pot lid and seal.
2.
Open all valves, allowing water to flow through pump.
3.
Switch on power to pump, motor to start.
4.
If some flow of water does not establish within on half minute, switch off and prime pump again. If pump does
not prime within 3 attempts, check all suction connections for sealing. If these are satisfactory, a check or foot
valve is required to hold water for prime.
5.
If the water flow through pump is always tedious to obtain at start-up after cleaning the lint basket, then an
examination of the system to establish a reason and correct the cause is recommended. Eg. Check valve, air leaks,
faulty seal, cracked lint pot lid, etc.
6.
The Filtrite pump has 3 factory preset speed settings – Low, Medium and High. High should be used when
backwashing, manually vacuuming the pool or operating spa jets or some water features such as waterfalls.
Medium speed can be used for gentle spa jet action, when a suction cleaner is connected to the skimmer or
filtration for the pool. Low is the recommended setting for everyday filtration of your pool when a cleaner is not
connected.
7.
The Filtrite pump will automatically start on High for the first 5 minutes to assist in priming and substantially fill
the hair and lint pot with water. After 5 minutes the pump will revert to the last speed it was set at before it was
turned off.
8.
During normal operation, it is recommended that the pump be operated on Low for 12 hours per day. This will
achieve the lowest operating costs with the lowest noise level. Should your pool have areas where water is not
turning over when pump is on Low, increase the speed setting.
Notes:
The appliance is not intended for use by person including young children or infirm persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Please ensure that young children are supervised to ensure that they do not play with the pump.
To avoid a safety hazard, the supply cord if damaged, must only be replaced by a Filtrite service agent or a suitably
qualified person.
Hours of Operation
On low speed your Filtrite pump makes very little noise and is unlikely to be intrusive to you or your neighbors. Generally,
your pool filter pump should operate for a minimum of 8 hours a day to provide sufficient skimming (thereby reducing the
amount of debris that falls to the bottom of the pool) and to allow the chlorinator to provide sufficient chlorine to sanitise
your pool.
Greater energy savings occur when to operating the pump for longer periods at the lowest speed instead of
operating for shorter periods at a higher speed.
