Waterway PROCLEAN PLUS - System Inspection; Safety Latch; Cartridge Cleaning Procedure

7
DISASSEMBLY:
1. Stop the pump.
2. Open air release valve on top of lter tank to release all pressure from
inside of tank.
3. Remove the drain cap and drain all water from the tank.
4. Remove lter lid assembly as follows:
A. Press the safety latch (below the ring) toward the tank to
release it (see Figure 3).
B. Hold the latch in the release position and rotate the ring
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to remove it. If the ring is dicult to turn,
tap it gently with a rubber mallet to overcome initial resistance.
5. Inspect the O-ring for cuts, cracking, deformation or signs of wear;
replace if necessary.
NOTICE: Do not remove the O-ring unless you need to replace it. To
remove it, hook it out of its groove with a sti curved piece of wire inserted
through the small access slot in the bottom of the tank lid assembly.
ASSEMBLY:
1. Inspect and clean the tank, ring threads and O-ring groove. Replace
damaged parts as necessary.
2. Install the lter cartridge in the tank. Push down rmly to seal it.
NOTICE: Lubricate the O-ring sealing area inside the upper tank lip
with silicone base grease, as other lubricants may cause the ring to
swell. DO NOT lubricate the lter ring or the threads on the tank
shell as this may collect grit and make removal dicult.
3. Install the O-ring in the tank lid assembly O-ring groove. Be sure that
the O-ring is clean and not twisted.
NOTICE: Do not remove the O-ring unless you need to replace it.
4. Place the lter ring squarely over the tank shell threads and
rotate it CLOCKWISE until it is securely latched.
5. Follow instructions in the “Initial Startup” section of this manual.
SAFETY LATCH
The purpose of the safety latch is to hold the lter ring in the locked
position. If the latch is damaged, replace it as follows:
1. Press up on the small catch on the bottom of the safety
latch and press or tap the latch out of the slot in the tank.
2. Slide the new latch into position until it latches in place.
NOTICE: DO NOT operate the lter if the safety latch is damaged or will
not hold the lter ring in the locked position.
CARTRIDGE CLEANING PROCEDURE
WHEN TO CLEAN THE FILTER:
The lter cartridge should normally be removed and cleaned when the
pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure.
Follow all steps in the “Disassembly” section of this manual (page 6).
NOTICE: When sanitizing your pool using PHMB (polyhexamethylene
biquanide) based cleaners, use ONLY PHMB cleaners to clean the
cartridge. When using PHMB sanitizers, the lter cartridge MUST be
cleaned more thoroughly and frequently than for a pool using chlorine.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Use of any other type of
cleaners with PHMB pool sanitizers will void the lter’s warranty.
1. Remove the drain cap and ush all foreign material from the inside of
the tank before removing the lter cartridge.
2. Allow the tank to drain.
3. Lift out the cartridge and hose it down thoroughly. Spray the entire
cartridge surface. Allow cartridge to drain.
4. Inspect the cartridge. If necessary, repeat the washing operation. If
the cartridge is damaged, replace it.
5. Follow the steps in the “Assembly” (page 2) and “Initial Start-Up”
(page 6) sections of this manual.
NOTICE: When this procedure no longer adequately cleans the
cartridge, discard the cartridge and replace it with a new one.
SYSTEM INSPECTION
GENERAL:
NOTICE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the lter. Solvents may damage
plastic components in the system.
NOTICE: Open the air release valve and bleed all air from the lter each
time the pump is stopped and restarted.
WEEKLY INSPECTION:
1. Remove debris from the pool skimmer basket.
2. Stop the pump; open the air release valve to release all pressure.
3. Remove the pump trap cover and basket; remove debris.
4. Check the pump for leaks. If found, see pump owner’s manual.
5. Replace the trap basket and the cover. Tighten the cover securely
hand tight. DO NOT use a lid wrench to tighten it.
6. Start the pump. When the lter air release valve runs a solid stream
of water, close the valve.
7. When the system has returned to normal operation, check the lter
pressure. If the lter pressure is 10 PSI (69 kPa) or more higher than
the initial start-up pressure, the lter needs cleaning. See “Cartridge
Cleaning Procedure” at left.
