Section 6. Winterizing
CAUTION
If not properly winterized, damage to the Slide Valve
will occur, which will increase the potential of injury.
1. Turn off the system pump(s).
WARNING
NEVER attempt to assemble,
disassemble or adjust the lter when
there is pressurized air in the system.
Starting the pump while there is
any pressurized air in the system
can cause the lter lid to be blown
off, which can cause death, serious
personal injury or property damage.
2. Open the air release valve on top of the lter tank
to release all pressure from inside the tank and
system. Wait for all the air to evacuate the system.
3. Loosen the lid union nut. See Figure 8.
4. Grab the Slide Valve handle and pull the shaft
assembly out of the valve. See Figure 9.
5. Allow all water to drain out the valve.
6. When it is conrmed that there is no water left in
the valve, place the shaft back into the Slide Valve
and tighten the lid union nut.
7. Position the Slide Valve in Backwash mode. See
Section 4.
(Jandy DEL, DEV, and JS series Filters) Ensure
that the Slide Valve handle is fully extended
(handle pulled all the way up). See Figure 7.
(Other Manufacturers Filters with the lter
top port as the inlet) Ensure that the Slide Valve
handle is fully depressed (handle and piston
pushed all the way down). Turn the handle until
the stainless steel pin on the piston locks into the
position bracket.
