If either condition exists, shut off the pump immediately, open valves in the water return line to relieve pressure, and clean
the High Flow™ manual air relief valve, see Section II, Filter Operation and Cleaning.
If the problem persists, call 1-800-831-7133 for assistance.
E. CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS.
1.
Side Mounted Push-pull valves have two operating positions, see Table 3.
a.
Filter, T-handle is fully extended to its uppermost position.
b.
Backwash, T-handle is fully compressed to its lowermost position.
2.
Rotary type multiport control valves offer more operating positions and allow more options on how to direct the flow of water
in your pool system.
a.
8-Way Multiport valves provide all of the following functions, see Table 3.
FILTER
From pump, through valve, downward through filter sand bed, back through laterals and piping to valve return
port, and back to the pool. This position is used for normal filtering and vacuuming to clean the pool water.
BACKWASH
From pump, through valve, down through piping and laterals, up through filter sand bed to valve, and out
waste port. This position is used for cleaning filter by reversing flow.
RINSE
From the pump, through valve, downward through filter sand bed, back through laterals and piping to valve
and out waste port. This position is used for start-up cleaning and resettling filter bed after backwashing.
WASTE
From pump, through valve (bypasses filter) and goes to waste port. This position is for vacuuming directly to
waste, lowering pool level, or draining pool.
CLOSED
NO FLOW IN THIS POSITION - DO NOT USE THIS SETTING WITH PUMP OPERATING.
RECIRCULATE
From pump, through valve, bypasses filter and goes to return port and back to pool. This position is for
circulating water without going through filter.
SERVICE
NO FLOW IN THIS POSITION - DO NOT USE THIS SETTING WITH PUMP OPERATING. It allows the
removal of the handle pin for servicing.
WINTERIZE
For areas that have freezing temperatures during the winter.
F. FILTER START UP - INITIAL SAND BED RINSE.
1.
Valve operations, with pump shut off:
a. Push-pull backwash valve.
(1)
Push handle down with slight twisting motion as far as it will go.
(2)
Lock upper pin in cap.
(3)
Open High Flow™ manual air relief valve on the filter.
(4)
Proceed through steps 2 to 3 which follow.
b. Multiport rotary valve.
(1)
Position valve to "Backwash" setting.
(2)
Open High Flow™ manual air relief valve on the filter.
(3)
Proceed through steps 2 to 3, which follow.
2.
Follow steps in Section D, System Restart. On initial start up the pump must be primed by filling the hair and lint strainer with
water You may have to do this several times.
3. Your filter is now backwashing accumulated dust or dirt from the new silica sand bed. Backwash for two (2) minutes, or until
water is flowing clear out the backwash line, or appears clear in sight glass, then shut off pump.
G. FILTER START UP - POOL FILTRATION.
1.
Valve operations, with pump shut off:
a.
Push-pull backwash valve.
(1)
Twist to unlock plunger.
