1. Filter - Position for filtering the body of water.
Incoming water from the piping system is automatically
directed by the Multi-Port Valve to the top of the filter
bed. As the water is pumped through the filter sand, dirt
and debris are trapped by the filter bed, and filtered out.
The filtered water is returned from the bottom of the filter
tank, through the Multi-Port Valve and back through the
piping system.
2. Backwash - Position for cleaning the filter media.
Water flow is reversed by the Multi-Port Valve through
the filter bed so that water flow is directed to the bottom
of the tank and up through the filter bed, flushing the
previously trapped dirt and debris out the waste line.
3. Rinse - Position for flushing the filter system.
The water flow is directed by the Multi-Port Valve through
the filter bed and out the waste line. This process settles
the filter media bed into place and ensures any dirt or
debris is rinsed out of the filter, preventing possible return
to the Swimming Pool.
4. Waste - Position for bypassing the filter bed to Waste.
The water flow is directed by the Multi-Port Valve straight
to the backwash outlet, bypassing the entire filter bed.
This Multi-Port Valve position is used lower the water level
or for vacuuming water with high dirt loads.
5. Re-circulate - Position for bypassing the filter bed to
the Swimming Pool.
The Multi-Port valve recirculates water flow directly back
to the Swimming Pool, bypassing the filter.
6. Closed – Position for closing all flow to the filter.
This position is not to be used with the pump operating.
CAUTION: Operation of the Multi-Port Valve or
mode selection is to be always done with the pump
switched off.

Initial Startup of Filter
NOTE: See Pump Owners Manual For Operation
Instructions Before Starting System. To prevent damage
to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the
system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets
regularly.
Be sure correct amount of filter sand media is in tank and
that all connections have been made and are secure.
1. Depress Multi-Port Valve handle and rotate to the
BACKWASH position.
NOTE: To prevent damage to control valve seal, always
depress handle before turning.
2. Switch on the Pump/ Open the Inlet Valve allowing the
filter tank to fill with water.
CAUTION: All suction and discharge valves must be open
when starting the pump. Failure to do so could cause
severe personal injury and/ or property damage.
NOTE: If a pump is installed, switch the pump on and
off, instead of closing and opening the Inlet Valve.
3. Once water flow is steady out the waste line, run the
pump for at least 1 minute. The initial backwashing of the
filter is recommended to remove any impurities or fine
sand particles in the sand media.
4. Turn the pump off, Multi-Port Valve to the RINSE position.
Switch on the Pump/ Open the Inlet Valve until water in
sight glass is clear — approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
5. Switch off the Pump/ Close the Inlet Valve, set the Multi-
Port Valve to the FILTER position and Switch on the Pump/
Open the Inlet. Your filter is now operating in the normal
filter mode.
6. Adjust pool suction and return valves to achieve desired
flow. Check the plumbing and filter for water leaks and
tighten connections, bolts, and nuts, as required.
NOTE: During initial clean-up of the pool water, it
may be necessary to backwash frequently due to the
unusually heavy initial dirt load in the water.
7. Record the pressure gauge reading (start up pressure)
during initial operation. After a period of time, the
accumulated dirt and debris in the filter causes a
resistance to flow, and the flow diminishes. The
pressure will start to rise and the flow of water will start
diminishing. When the pressure gauge reading is 10psi
higher than the initial "Start up" pressure, it is time to
backwash (clean) the filter (see Backwashing).
