24. WINTERIZING:
To winterize where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be
drained. Remove Drain Plug, backwash filter, remove and clean Filter Grids. Reinstall Filter
Grids in filter tank.
Be sure to remove the drain plug during the winter season to avoid cracking the filter
tank.
24. INVERNAR:
En zonas donde se pueden alcanzar temperaturas bajo zero grados, el filtro debe
desaguarse. Retire el tapon de drenaje, limpie contra corriente, retire y limpie los
elementos de red. Reinstale en el tanque los elementos de red.
Asegurese de retirar el tapon de drenaje la temporada de invierno para prevenir que el
tanque se estrelle.
24. HIVÉRISATION:
Pour hivériser où l' o n note des températures sous le point de congélation, le filtre devra
être drainé. Enlever le bouchon de drainage, laver le filtre à contre-courant, enlever et
nettoyer les éléments du filtre. Reposer les éléments dans le réservoir du filtre. S'assurer
d' e nlever le bouchon de drainage durant l'hiver pour éviter de fendiller le réservoir
du filtre.

Drain and winterize all equipment according to instructions. Consult your retailer or
service professional if you have any questions.
24. PREPARAR LA VALVULA PARA EL INVIERNO:
Valvula de deslice (opcional): Abra la linea de desahogo ponga hacia arriba en posicion
para limpiar contra corriente. NOTA: Vacie y prepare todo el equipo para el invierno de
acuerdo a las instrucciones. Consulte a su tienda y centro de reparacion profesional en
caso de preguntas.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Read and Follow All Instructions:
Algae is a form of plant life which can vary in size from a few thousandths of an inch to
the size of a small tree. Of the many forms of algae, the one most frequently found in the
swimming pool water are microscopic in size and green in color.
Algae readily grows in sunlight and can, under favorable conditions, quickly overgrow
a swimming pool, turning it completely green in just a few hours. On the other hand,
swimming pool water can be unfavorable to algae growth simply by maintaining a chlorine
level of at least 1.0 ppm in the water at all times. The chlorine level should be checked at least
once a week using a suitable test kit.
If an algae condition develops and the pool water "blooms" green, superchlorination of
the pool will be necessary to clear it. Add unstabilized granular chlorine or liquid chlorine.
Follow the chemical manufacturer's recommendation for superchlorination. The algae will
quickly become inactive and can then be removed by the filter. Live algae, on the other hand,
multiplies so fast that the filter cannot keep up with its growth rate.
When correctly used, commercial algaecides are effective against algae, though algaecides
should be used in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, regular chlorination or
superchlorination.
Maintaining a chlorine level of at least 1.0 ppm in the pool water at all times is the most
effective way to prevent algae growth in swimming pools.
NOTE:
Pure clear swimming pool water is the combination of two factors: adequate filtration and
proper water chemistry balance. One without the other will not give the clean, clear water
you desire.
Your filter system is designed for continuous operation. However, this is not necessary for
most swimming pools. You can determine your filter operation schedule based on your pool
size.
To properly sanitize your pool, maintain a free chlorine level of 1 to 3 ppm and a pH level of
7.6 will help in preventing algae and bacteria to grow in your pool and make it easier for your
filter to properly clean the pool water.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS:
Consult your local authorized Waterway dealer or service center. No returns may be made
directly to the factory without the expressed written authorization of Waterway Plastics.
