It is always best to call a trained professional to service your pool. Further information on your cleaning system can be found at: www.1paramount.com
Problem
Diagnosis
Solution
Cleaning nozzles(s) are
staying up when the pump
is off
Cleaning nozzles could be jammed with sand or
debris which could result from improper cleaning of
your pool filter. See section Paramount’s systems
relationship to your pool’s equipment.
Isolate the circuit of the jammed or stuck cleaning nozzles using
the pause switch on your water valve. With the system pump
running push the cleaning nozzles down repeatedly with your
foot or pool pole.
Cleaning nozzles on a circuit
stay up once the water valve
has switched to the next
circuit but retract when the
system is off.
A circuit in the water valve is staying open due
to a jammed piston in the module. This could be
caused by debris entering the water valve.
NOTE: PCC2000 AND VANTAGE BOOSTER
PUMP SYSTEMS MAY HAVE FIXED NOZZLES
ON THE FILTER PUMP WHICH STAY UP WHILE
THE FILTER PUMP IS ON.
Remove the module from the water valve (see module
removal procedure) clean it by holding it in the pool
sideways and move it back and forth quickly until it is
clean. If there are any pistons in the open position, push
them shut being sure not to rotate them. Place the
module back in the water valve (see module installation
procedure) and turn the system pump on to determine
if the cleaning nozzles are now functioning properly.
Depending on the age of the module, if this does not
solve the problem it may be time to purchase a new
module.
System is not cleaning as
it used to.
Check for minimum operating pressure of 20 psi
(138 kPa) on the water valve.
Check the run time of your in floor system. It may need to
be extended. Especially during increased demand due to
weather conditions or bather load. Refer to the section
titled Paramount’s systems “relationship to your pool’s
equipment”. If after following these steps and the problem
still exists call a trained professional to service your pool.
System is not cleaning as
it used to.
Pool drain is plugged.
With the filter pump and booster pump (if applicable)
both running adjust your valves on the filter pump to draw
100% from the pool drain. If your filter pump becomes
noisy (cavitates) your pool drain may be obstructed. At
this point call a trained professional to service your pool.
