Step 4
Open air bleed valve to release any additional
trapped air. When a steady stream of water
appears, close the valve.
Step 5
Pour D.E. mixture into pool skimmer slowly to
allow D.E. to be pumped into the filter for
coating. Allow 3-5 minutes for grids to coat
sufficiently.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate filter for
extended periods without D.E.
Step 6
The filter is equipped with a pressure gauge
to assist in determining when the filter grid
cassette should be cleaned. Note the gauge
reading when filter is started up, “CLEAN.” As
the filter becomes dirty, the needle will move
to the right. When the needle has moved 10
psi above the “CLEAN” reading, regenerate
the D.E. (see FILTER REGENERATION pages
9-10.)
