your pool equipment will power your in-floor system. Failure to do
so will negatively affect the performance of your system.
8. When cleaning your cartridge or D.E. Filter care must be taken
before removing the filter elements that the filter tank be drained
and rinsed out. This is required to prevent dirt and debris from
entering the return line and getting into your in-floor system or any
other down-line components.
Cleaning Systems Powered by a Booster Pump
1. Because booster pump systems are designed to pull from the
skimmer(s) and not use a filter, they are not affected by the typi-
cal reductions in performance that affect filter pump systems.
Booster pumps need to produce a minimum of 65 gpm (246 lpm)
at 60 ft. (179kpa of head).
2. It is important to keep the skimmer and pump basket(s) empty, so
your pool equipment will power your in-floor system. Failure to do
so will negatively affect the performance of your system.
Filters
1. A clean pool filter is necessary for optimum system performance.
Your pool filter needs cleaning when filters pressure increases
5 psi (34 kPa) above the pressure showing when your filter is
clean.
2. If the need arises to replace your filter and/or its backwash valve
it is important that they are properly sized.
