INITIAL START-UP
1. (On a new pool, clean the pool before filling the pool with water.
Excessive dirt and large particles can cause damage to the pump and filter.
2. Ensure that all pool suction and WASTE lines are open so that water is
free to flow from the pool to WASTE line. Set control valve to BACKWASH
position.
3.Check valve clamp for tightness.
4. Check pump strainer pot to be sure it is full of water (Ensure the hose is
full of water if there is no strainer basket). Tigh en the pump lid.Prime and
start the pump, allowing the filter tank to fill with water.
CAUTION DONOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER.
5. Once the water flow is steady out the WASTE line, run the pump for at
least 2 minutes or until backwash water is clean. This initial
Back washing of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities of fine
sand particles in the silica sand media.
6. Turn the pump off and set valve to "RINSE" position. Ensure that all pool
suction and WASTE lines are open so that the water is free to flow from the
pool to WASTE line. STAND CLEAR OF FILTER and start the pump.
7. Run the pump for at least two minutes.
8.Turn the pump off and set valve to"FILTER" position. Be sure that all pool
suction and RETURN lines are open so that water is free to flow from and
back to the pool. STAND CLEAR OF FILTER and start the pump.
9.The filter has now started its filtering cycle.You should ensure that water
is returning to the pool and take note of the operating pressure when the
filter is clean.
10. Check the system for water leaks. If a leak is found, shut the pump off
before correcting the leak.
11. As the filter removes dirt and impurities from the pool water, the
accumulation will cause the filter pressure to rise and flow to
diminish.When the pressure gauge reading is 5-10 psi higher than the
clean filter reading noted above, it is time to backwash the filter.
