Pentair Water Pool and Spa System 2 Série Notice D'installation Et D'entretien page 14

GENERAL INFORMATION
Clean a new pool as well as possi-
ble before filling pool and operating
filter. Excess dirt and large particles of
foreign matter in the system can cau-
se serious damage to the filter and
pump.
With a permanet media filter in
place and operating correctly, clean
water is returned to the pool faster
than pool water is being contamina-
ted. A typical pool installation will re-
quire approximately one week to ob-
tain and maintain the sparkle that your
filter is capable of giving you.
Maximum pressure is 50 PSI
(3,5 bar) DO NOT connect the filter to
a city water system or to an individual
water well system.
Open air release valve to vent
all air from system before ope-
rating system. NEVER operate filter.
with air trapped inside.
The Sta-Rite modular filter is desi-
gned to filter water for swimming
pools. On a new pool installation, we
recommend:
1. Disassemble the filter after the initi-
al cleanup.
To prevent severe injury or ma-
jor property damage, exactly
follow »Filter Disassembly/Assembly
Procedure« on Page 7.
2. Remove and hose down the ele-
ment assembly to remove contami-
nants.
Maintain pool water pH between
7.2 and 7.6.
Make sure that internal air bleed
tube and filter are clean and installed
properly at top of module before ope-
rating filter.
Make sure that Posi-Ring™ is se-
curely locked in place. before opera-
ting fiIter.
Maintain pressure gauge in good
working order. Replace a damaged
gauge immediately.
Cleaning interval is based on pres-
sure rise, not on length of time filter is
operated. Different water conditions
will have different normal cleaning in-
tervals.
Check local codes for restrictions
on waste water disposal require-
ments.
NOTICE:
Some pool disinfectants may clog fil-
ter module. To maximize module life
and filter cycle time, closely follow di-
sinfectant manufacturer's instructions
when cleaning pool or filter.
- PLM 100/150/175/200 -
When to Clean the Filter
The filter module should normally be
cleaned when the pressure gauge
reading increases 0,7 bar over the
start-up pressure .
In some pools, accessories such as
fountains or pool cleaners may be no-
ticeably affected by the normal de-
crease in flow as the filter becomes
dirty. If so, clean the filter more fre-
quently (that is, at a pressure. increa-
se of less than 0,7 bar) in order to
maintain the required flow.
