WINTERRISING
Backwash the filter for at least thirty minutes before closing
down the pool for winterising. This will clean the filter bed
thoroughly.
1/ Drain the filter tank by removing the drain cap at the base
of the filter tank. Leave the cap off during winter.
2/ Set the control valve handle between the RINSE and
FILTER. This will lift the handle and help with the draining
process by allowing air to enter into the tank.
3/ Unscrew the pressure gauge from the control valve and
store the gauge indoor.
4/ Drain and winterise pump according to pump
instructions.
5/ Repairs should be made during the off-season when the
best service is available, do not leave them until the next
season.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
SAND ENTERING THE POOL
Sand too small; Flow too high; Sand bed calcified; Broken
Laterals; Loose centre-pipe; Too much sand; Control Valve
not engaged; Air accumulation in filter.
SAND OUT OF BACKWASH HOSE
Flow too high; Too much sand in tank.
INADEQUATE FILTERING
Dirt build up; improper sand; Sand bed is too low; Algae in
filter; Excessive dirt in pool; Calcified sand bed; Heavy
swimmer load; Flow rate too high or too low; Backwashing
cycle too short; Backwash line too small.
