FILTER BACKWASH PROCEDURE
1. Stop the pump.
WARNING
Always turn pump off before changing valve positions. Changing valve
positions while the pump is running can damage the control valve,
which may cause serious injury or property damage.
2. Ensure that the suction and WASTE lines are open so that water is free
to come from the pool and flow out the WASTE line. Set control valve
to"BACKWASH"position.
3. STAND CLEAR OF FILTER and start pump.
4. Backwash filter for approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until backwash water
is clean.
5. Stop pump and set valve to "RINSE" position.
6. STAND CLEAR OF FILTER and start pump.
7. Rinse filter for approximately 30 seconds.
8. Stop pump and set valve to "FILTER" position.
9. Ensure the pool RETURN line is open so that water may flow freely from
the filter back to the pool.
10. STAND CLEAR OF FILTER and start pump.
11. The filter has now started its filtering cycle. Verify the water is returning
to the pool and take note of the filter pressure when the filter is clean.
12. The filter pressure in Step 11 above should not exceed the pressure
originally observed on the filter when it was initially started. If after Back
washing, the pressure is 4 to 6 psi above the start condition it will be
necessary to chemically clean the sand bed.
WINTERIZING YOUR FILTER
CAUTION
