3) Check the pump strainer to ensure it is full of water. Be certain
all valves (if present) are open.
4) Perform pump start up.
5) Open vent carefully to allow any captured air to escape.
6) Close vent when steady stream of water appears.
7) Mix diatomaceous earth in a bucket of water. (See table on filter
label for required amount of diatomaceous earth.) Do not exceed
required amount of D.E.
Note: 1 scoop holds approx. 0.7 lbs of D.E.
A one pound coffee can also equals 1 scoop.
8) Introduce mixture into the filter through the skimmer.
Note: Do not operate the filter without D.E. charge for more than 2 minutes.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance will add years of service and
enjoyment to your pool.
• Use a mild detergent and water to clean the filter exterior. Do not
use solvents.
• Your filter is a pressure vessel and should
never be serviced while under pressure.
Always shut off pump to relieve the pressure
in the filter and open air bleed prior to
servicing the unit.
• Your filter is designed to keep accumulated air
purged from the system; however, it is recommended that the
manual air bleed be opened periodically to eliminate any small
amount of air that may accumulate inside the filter. To do this, turn
pump off and open air-bleed valve on top of the tank. Start the
pump and close air-bleed valve when a steady stream of water
emerges.
• When restarting your filter, always open the manual air bleed valve
and stand clear of the filter.
• The D.E. on the filter grid will require regeneration replacement
during the course of use. Factors such as bather load, weather
conditions, rainfall, dust, pollen and water temperature affect the
frequency of required maintenance. As you use your pool, you will
become aware of these influences.
FILTER REGENERATION
As the dirt load on the filter grids increases, the pressure inside the
filter increases and flow to the pool decreases. Stop the pump.
Gently pump the wiper handle until it moves freely. Move wiper up
and down four to five times. This will clean the grids, allowing the
D.E. to recoat thus providing a "new" filtering surface. Perform
filter start-up procedure.
The flow to the pool will increase and the pressure gauge should
show a lower pressure than before regeneration.
MANUAL CLEANING OF GRID ASSEMBLY
At least once per year, disassemble and clean the filter regardless
of operating pressure readings. This may be conveniently done
during the winterizing process.
• If the grids have become clogged such that the regeneration
cleaning process is ineffective, disassemble the unit and manually
clean the grids as described below:
• Stop pump and open air bleed to relieve internal pressure.
• Unscrew handle, remove Ring-Lok and cover, and open drain plug.
• The grid assembly will be exposed and can be cleaned without
removing the assembly from the body using a garden hose.
The grid assembly may be removed by lifting the straps if a more
thorough cleaning is required. A bottle brush or something similar
may be used to clean the grids as well as a filter cleanser (available
from you dealer) if the build-up on the grids is excessive.
• Replace the clean grid assembly in the filter body. Apply a
downward force to the grid assembly to ensure it is firmly seated.
Clean debris from O-ring and O-ring groove at the top of the filter
body and lightly lubricate the O-ring. Replace cover, running driver
rod of wiper plate assembly through the hole in the cover. Using
the palms of hands to apply pressure, rock the cover from side to
side until it is firmly seated. Replace the Ring-Lok, turning it to the
"built-in stops".
If filter Ring-Lok is not tightened to "built-in
stops", filter lid could blow off causing injury
or property damage.
• Close the drain plug and repeat the start-up
procedures.
WINTERIZING THE FILTER
In areas that have severe winter temperatures, your pool and
equipment should be protected by thoroughly draining.
1. Turn off pump.
2. Open air bleed valve and drain plug and allow the system to
completely drain.
3. Clean the filter grid assembly thoroughly at the end of the
season. The grids should be dried and stored in a clean, dry place
out of direct sunlight.
SERVICING AND REPAIR PARTS
Refer all service to your local dealer as their knowledge of your
equipment makes them the best qualified source of information.
Order all repair parts through your dealer. Give the following infor-
mation when ordering repair parts:
1. Unit nameplate data.
2. Description of part.
TROUBLESHOOTING
POOL WATER NOT SUFFICIENTLY CLEAN
1. Pool chemistry not adequate to stop algae growth. Maintain pool
chemistry or consult pool service technician.
2. Dirty grid needs to be regenerated or cleaned. Use chemical
cleaning of grid assembly if necessary.
3. Inadequate turnover rate. Run system for longer time or
consult dealer or pool service technician.
HIGH FILTER PRESSURE
1. Dirty filter. Regenerate filter or clean if necessary. Use chemical
cleaning of grid assembly if necessary.
2. Partially closed valve or restriction. Open valve or remove
obstruction in return line.
