TROUBLESHOOTING
1. AIR ENTERING THE SYSTEM.
Air entering your lter can cause lid separation. Correct any conditions in your ltration system that allow air to
enter the system.
Air entering the system can cause the lid to separate from the lter. If the below symptoms are observed, do not
attempt to remove or tighten the clamping system or perform any other servicing until you have shut off pump
and relieved all air and pressure in accordance with Opening the Filter, page 4. See IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS, page ii.
Symptoms:
• Low water level in pool or spa - skimmer starving for water with pump running.
• Air bubbles or low water level in pump hair and lint pot
• Air bubbles coming out of water return lines into pool or spa with pump running
• Air is discharged from the air/pressure relief valve on top of the lter when the valve is opened with the pump
running.
Potential Causes and Solutions:
• Low water level: Add water to pool or spa.
• Clogged skimmer basket: Unclog.
• Damaged or leaking components (e.g., split suction cleaner hose, leak in pump hair and lint pot lid, or leak in
pump suction line): Repair or replace component.
2. SHORT FILTER CYCLES BETWEEN CLEANING.
Until the water initially put into the pool has been completely ltered, short lter cycles in between cleanings are
normal. In most cases pool owners are dismayed by the undesirable color and appearance of water in a newly
lled pool. Plaster dust can be responsible for short lter cycles, requiring frequent cleaning.
3. PRESSURE DROP ON GAUGE.
If pressure drops on gauge, check skimmer basket and pump basket rst for debris. If the baskets are clean, there
is likely a problem with the pump. Refer to pump manual for pump troubleshooting.
