Section 4. Start-Up and Operation

NOTE
This section applies to both new pool and seasonal
start-up.
WARNING
NEVER start pump while standing within fi ve (5)
feet of the fi lter. Starting the pump while there is
pressurized air in the system can cause the fi lter
lid to be blown off, which can cause death, se ri ous
personal injury or property damage.
WARNING
NEVER operate the fi lter system at more than 50 psi
of pressure. Operating the fi lter system in excess of
50 psi can cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which
can cause death, serious personal injury or property
damage.
Caution
DO NOT operate fi lter at water temperatures above
120° F (65.5° C). Water temperatures above the
manufacturer's recommendations will shorten the life
span of the fi lter and void the warranty.
1.
Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit breaker
to the pump motor.
2.
Check that the drain plug is in place and tight.
3.
Check that the tank clamp is correctly seated and
tight (See Figs. 5 and 6).
4.
Open the pump hair/lint pot lid and fi ll the pump
basket with water to prime the system. Replace the
lid. (You may have to do this several times on new
and seasonal start-ups.)
5.
Completely open the air release valve on the
gauge/air release assembly by turning the knob on
the back of the assembly fully counterclockwise
(do not remove the knob).
6.
Be sure to open any fi lter isolation valves that
were installed in the system.
7.
Stand clear of the fi lter and start the pump to
circulate water through the system. When a steady
stream of water starts to come out of the air release
valve, close the valve.
8.
Watch the pressure gauge to be sure that the
pressure does not exceed 50 psi (with clean
cartridges). If the pressure approaches 50 psi,
immediately turn the pump off and clean the
fi lter cartridges (see Section 6.3). If the pressure
remains high after cleaning the fi lter, refer to the
troubleshooting guide on page 11 for possible
causes and solutions.
9.
After the pressure gauge has stabilized, turn the
bezel ring so that the arrow next to the word
"CLEAN" aligns with the needle of the gauge. As
the fi lter cleans the water, and the cartridges begin
to clog the pressure begins to increase. When the
needle of the pressure gauge aligns with the arrow
next to the word "DIRTY" on the bezel, it is time
to clean the fi lter (see Section 6.3). This indicates
an increased pressure of between 10 and 12 psi
above original starting pressure.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to assemble, dis as sem ble or adjust
the fi lter when there is pressurized air in the system.
Starting the pump while there is any pressurized air
in the system can cause the fi lter lid to be blown off,
which can cause death, serious personal injury or
property dam age.
Section 5. Filter Disassembly and
Assembly
1.
Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit breaker
to the pump motor.
2.
IMPORTANT: Completely open air release valve
on top of the fi lter tank to release all pressure
from inside the tank and system.
3.
Close the fi lter isolation valves on the system to
prevent fl ooding.
4.
Remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the
fi lter tank and allow the tank to drain.
5.
Replace the drain plug.
6.
Loosen the tank clamp ring retainer and remove
the clamp ring.
7.
Remove the top of the fi lter tank by lifting it
straight up until it clears the cartridges on the
inside of the tank.
8.
Remove the manifold assembly by lifting it off of
the the outlet tube and out of the tank.
9.
Pull the cartridges out of the fi lter tank and clean
the cartridge using the instructions in Section 6.3.
