REPLACEMENT PARTS OF FILTER
1. Be sure correct amount of filter media sand is in tank and that all connections have been made and are secure.
2. Depress control valve handle and rotate to BACKWASH position. (To prevent damage to control valve seal, always
depress handle before turning.)
3. Prime and start pump. Never tun pump dry! Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and flooding!
Fill pump with water before starting motor. (be sure all suction and return lines are open), allowing the filter tank to fill
with water. Once water is flowing out of the waste line, run the pump for at least 1 minute. The initial back-washing
of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand media.
4. 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 and set valve to FILTER position and restart pump. The filter is now operating in the
normal filter mode, filtering dirt particles from the pool water.
5. Adjust pool suction and return valves to achieve desired flow. Check system and filter for water leaks and tighten
connections, bolts, nuts, as required.
6. Note the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter is clean. (It will vary from pool to 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 1.5 bar, higher
than the initial "clean" pressure you noted, it is time to backwash the filter (see BACKWASH under filter and control
valve functions).
NOTE: During initial clean-up of the pool water it may be necessary to backwash frequently due to the unusually
heavy initial dirt load in the water.
