INSTALLATION NOTES:
1.
Make sure the filter is worked under the work pressure, and using a pressure control valve when
the system
using a booster pump.
2.
If the pump position is higher than the water level, it requires to install the back water control
valve.
3.
If the pump position is lower than the water level, it requires installing an isolation valve. It
could stop
the water return back when people do the general inspection.
4.
Reducing the connect
adapters
and hose connecting bending as less as possible. Decreasing the
water flow
scrub, it could reach the maximum effective.
5.
Ensure solvents are not excessively applied to fittings as this could run into O-ring and create
sealing
problems.
6.
Do not over tighten fittings or adapters.
HOW TO USE
1.
Inspect
that
all the connections have been made
are
correct and secure.
2.
Depress
the
top mount valve handle and rotate to
the
BACKWASH position.
3.
Prime and start
the
pump according to
the
pump instructions.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION AND DISCHARGE VALVES MUST BE OPENING
WHEN STARTING THE SYSTEM. FAILURE TO
DO SO COULD CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
MAKE SURE THE FILTER VESSEL ARE FULL FILL THE WATER BEFORE START UP THE PUMP. OR IT WILL CAUSE
THE PUMP DAMAGED.
4 .
Once water flow is steady out the waste line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes. The initial
back-
washing of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities of fine sand particles in the
sand media.
5 .
Turn pump off and set valve to RINSE position. Start pump and operate until water in sight glass
is clear----
about 1/2 to 1 minute. Turn pump off, set valve to FILTER position and restart pump. Your
filter is now
operating in the normal filter mode, filtering particles from the pool water.
NOTES:
1 .
Note the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter is clean. (it will vary from pool depending
upon 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 8-10 PSI(0.55-0.69 BAR) higher than the initial
“
clean
”
pressure you
noted, it is the time to
backwash (clean) the filter.
2 .
I
MPORTANT
: To prevent unnecessary strain on piping system and valving, always shut off pump
before
switching filter control valve position.
3 .
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump
strainer and
skimmer baskets regularly.
