OPERATION
WARNING
FILTERING
Filtration starts as soon as the filter has been pre-coated. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the
accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease.
When the pressure rises 8-10 psi (.55-.69 bar) above the pre-coat pressure, it is time to backwash (clean) the
filter. Once your filter is running and there is a pressure reading, line up the green arrow with the current reading.
(See Fig 3) When the pressure rises to or above the red or second arrow, it is time to clean your filter.
Note: During initial clean-up of the pool, particularly with a new pool or a very dirty pool, it may be necessary to
backwash more frequently due to the heavy initial dirt load in the water.
