This valve operates under pressure. When closed properly and operated without air in the water system. This valve will operate
in a safe manner.
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL OR ON FILTER.
How Your Valve Works
Your six position valve is designed to provide all the necessary positions required to operate, maintain, troubleshoot and service
your filter. It is provided with six operating positions and one Winterize position. The valve is constructed of high quality
corrosion resistant materials and when installed, operated, and maintained in accordance to these instructions, your valve will
provide years of trouble free operation.
WARNING — Air entering the filter and a valve clamp not closed properly can cause the valve to blow off and could cause
severe bodily injury and/or property damage. (Some valve models do not have a clamp but thread into the
filter tank.)
1. This valve is equipped with an external air bleeder device (Item 12). Always open this air bleeder and stand clear of filter and
valve before starting system pump and leave open until a steady stream of water is expelled.
CAUTION — To prevent equipment damage and possible injury, always turn pump off before changing valve position.
2. This valve has a closed position. The pump should never be on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated
with the valve closed, the air relief system becomes inoperative and an explosive situation could exist. Additionally, running
the system with no flow will seriously damage the equipment.
VALVE POSITIONS:
FILTER - From pump, through valve downward THRU FILTER up through center pipe to valve
RETURN port for normal filter action and vacuuming pool thru filter.
BACKWASH - From pump through valve, down through center pipe and to valve WASTE port for cleaning
filter by reversing flow.
RINSE - From pump, through valve downward up through filter up through center pipe to valve
WASTE port for start-up cleaning and resetting filter bed after backwashing.
WASTE - From pump through valve BYPASSES FILTER and goes to WASTE port for vacuuming
directly to waste, lowering pool level, or draining pool.
CLOSED - NO FLOW - DO NOT USE THIS SETTING WITH PUMP OPERATING.
RECIRCULATE - From pump, through valve, bypasses filter and goes to return port for circulating water
without going thru filter.
