10. MAINTENANCE

The chart below outlines the recommended maintenance schedule for your Pool Filter System.

Intervals

Maintenance Items

Weekly

Backwashing, regardless of the pressure or how dirty the filter might be

Cleaning of the Debris/Lint filter in the hair and lint strainer (directions below)

Annually

Winterize the system before the first frost (directions below)

Add sand at the beginning of each swim season as needed

Adding New Sand

Use breathing filter/mask approved for dust & sand and adequate eye protection while filling sand container. Avoid breathing in dust.

1. Protect the bottom strainer by filling the tank with a foot of water and covering the clean water chamber to avoid getting sand

inside.

2. Place multi-port valve in the "Rinse" position for 1 – 3 minutes after initial start up or after adding new sand. By doing this you

can avoid blowing small particles and impurities from the new sand into your pool. NOTE: If some debris from the new sand does

enter your pool, switch the valve to the "Purge" mode to vacuum it out. Otherwise you may keep sending it back to the pool.

Before loosening any threaded connections on the filtration system, be sure that the intake and return hoses are closed

Cleaning the Hair and Lint Filter

1. Disconnect the pump from the power source.

2. Close the shutoff valves or block the water flow at the pool intake and return ports.

3. Place the multi-port valve in the "Closed" position.

4. Remove the hair & lint strainer cover on the pump by unscrewing the threaded collar. Take out the strainer basket, clean it and

replace it. Replace the hair & lint strainer cover and tighten the threaded collar. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

5. Open the shutoff valves or unblock the water flow at the pool intake and return ports.

6. Place the multi-port valve in the "Filtration" position.

7. Reconnect to the power source.

NEVER operate the pump without the hair and lint strainer basket in place – this can cause damage to the motor and pump assembly.

Winterizing the System

1. Disconnect the pump from the power source.

2. Close the shut off valves or block the flow of water at the pool intake and return ports.

3. Disconnect the filtration system from the pool, drain the tank and hoses.

4. Store the filter system in a location protected from frost and freezing temperatures.
