WINTERIZING A F-16 MODEL
FIBRO POOL
Steps:
1. Important: Check the draining well before emptying the pool. (img.1)
2. Reduce the water level to 5 inches (13 centimetres) below the skimmers
opening (img.2). The pool's water level should be below the return jets (img.3).
3. In order to do so, place the level (img.4/red) of the skimmer's valve (img.5) to
the horizontal position (img.4/black) and turn the white lid above the valve's top
vent (img.4/blue).
4. Connect the backwash hose to the filtration system and lay it out toward the
street to prevent the water from returning to the pool (img.6).
5. Place the valve of the pump's lever in Waste position (img.7). The F-16 has
two suctions and two thrusts. Make sure that the suction valve (at the pump level)
is indeed in "Pool" mode.
6. Let the garden hose slightly flow into the skimmer (img.8). This step prevents
the pump from drying up when the water level is lower than the skimmer's
opening.
7. Temporarily drain the spa area. In order to do this, put the suction valve's lever
(at the pump level (img.9)) in "Spa" mode. Remove the rest of the water from the
spa area with a "Shop Vac" or with a bucket.
8. Once the pool's water level has been lowered, disconnect the
electrical supply from the pump.
