2. A pressure gauge reading of 50kPa (0.5bar/7.2psi) above the operating pressure
may result in a reduced flow rate that is insufficient to meet the requirements of the
pool.
Example: Filter operates normally at 60kPa (0.6bar/8.2psi) needs to be cleaned at
110kPa (1.1bar/16psi).
Flush out the sediment chamber
With pump running:
Whilst the water pump is running simply open the sediment purge valve until the
sediment has been flushed out. This is visible through the clear sediment chamber.
Once the sediment has been flushed out, close the purge valve.
Without pump running:
Alternatively, switch the pump, off. Open the air release valve and then open the
purge valve. The water will drop through the MultiCyclone DUO flushing out most of
the debris from the sediment chamber. Then close the air release valve and turn on
the pump and the turbulence of the water entering the sediment chamber will flush
out the rest of the sediment. Once the sediment chamber has been cleansed, close
the purge valve, start the pump and close the air release valve once water is flowing
out through the air release valve.
INSUFFICIENT WATER PRESSURE
In situations where the water flow from the pump is not powerful enough purge the
sediment out of the sediment chamber. Waterco recommends fitting a 2 way valve
after the MultiCyclone DUO on the pool water return line.
The 2 way valve is used to throttle the flow of water out of the MultiCyclone DUO,
increasing water turbulence through the sediment chamber and improving its purging
action.
Whilst the pump is operating, open the purge valve, and then partially close the 2 way
valve, throttling the water flow sufficiently to purge the sediment chamber of trapped
sediment. Once the sedimement chamber is clean, open the 2 way valve and then
close the purge valve.
!
Do not close the 2 way valve prior to opening the purge valve and do not close the
purge valve while the 2 way valve is closed or partially closed. Both valves should never
be closed or partially closed at the same time.
