HOW TO USE:
Prior to setting up the lter system, ensure that the pump is o, as failure to do so will cause
spider valve to malfunction and damage top mount valve. Pump must be o anytime valve
handle is depressed and moved to any of the various functions.
1． Inspect all that connections have been made correctly and are secure.
2． Depress top mount valve handle and rotate to BACKWASH position.
3． Prime and start pump according to pump instructions.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION AND DISCHARGE VALVES MUST BE OPEN WHEN STARTING THE SYSTEM.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY. MAKE SURE THE FILTER VESSEL IS
FILLED WITH WATER BEFORE STARTING UP THE PUMP OR IT WILL CAUSE THE DAMAGE TO PUMP.
4． Once water ow is steady out the waste line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes. The initial
back-washing of the lter is recommended to remove any impurities or ne sand particles in the
sand media.
5． Turn pump o 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 o, set valve to FILTER position and restart pump. Your
lter is now operating in the normal lter mode, ltering particles from the pool water.
NOTES:
1． Note the initial pressure gauge reading when the lter is clean. (It will vary from pool depending
upon the pump and general piping system). As the lter removes dirt and impurities from the pool
water, the accumulation in the lter will cause the pressure to rise and ow to diminish. When the
pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.55-0.69 BAR) higher than the initial “clean” pressure you noted,
it is time to backwash (clean) the lter.
2． IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary strain on piping system and valves, always shut o pump
before switching lter control valve position.
3． To prevent damage to the pump and lter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump
strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
FILTER CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS:
Filter- Set valve to FILTER for normal ltering. Also use for regular vacuuming.
Backwash-
For cleaning lter. When lter pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI (0.55-0.69 BAR) above start-up
(clean pressure):
Stop the pump, set valve to BACKWASH. Start pump and backwash until water in sight glass is clear.
Approximately 2 minutes or less; depending on dirt accumulation. Proceed to RINSE.
Rinse – After backwashing, with pump o, set valve to RINSE. Start pump and operate for about 1/2 to 1
minute. This ensures that all dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the lter to waste, preventing
possible return to the pool. Stop pump, set valve to FILTER and start pump for normal ltering.
Waste-To bypass lter for draining or lowering water level and for vacuuming heavy debris directly to
waste.
Re circulate-Water is re-circulated through the pool system; bypassing the lter.
Closed- Shuts o ow from pump to lter.
