SECTION V. INITIAL START-UP AND RESTART INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Be sure all connections have been made and are secure.
2. Make sure the hair and lint pot of the pump is filled with water. (FAILURE TO FILL THE HAIR AND
LINT POT WITH WATER WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND PUMP SEAL).
3. OPEN THE HIGH FLOW MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE UNTIL IT SNAPS INTO THE FULL OPEN
POSITION (THIS ONLY REQUIRES A 1/4 TURN COUNTERCLOCKWISE).
4. STAND CLEAR OF THE FILTER. Start pump allowing the filter tank to fill with water. Close the
high flow air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.
5. Your filter has now started its filter cycle. You should check that the water is returning to the pool
and take note of the operating pressure. My original starting pressure is ___________ PSI with the
filter clean.
6. Check the system for water leaks. If a leak is found, shut off pump before correcting the leak.
7. As the filter removes dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulation will cause the filter
pressure to rise and the flow to diminish. When the pressure gauge reading is 8 to 10 PSI higher
than the clean filter reading noted above, it is time to clean the filter’s element grids, see SECTION
VI. CLEANING THE FILTER, below.
SECTION VI. CLEANING THE FILTER
1. Cleaning frequency will vary from pool to pool and with other factors such as weather conditions,
heavy rains, dust pollen, bather load and water chemistry. Check the pressure gauge reading on a
regular basis and when the pressure gauge reading increases 8 to 10 PSI over the initial clean filter
reading, it is time to clean your CARTRIDGE ELEMENT.
2. Turn the pump off, shut off any automatic controls to assure that the system is not inadvertently
started during servicing.
3. Plug the skimmer port with a rag. This will prevent pool water from running out during servicing.
4. Open the filter High Flow™ manual air relief valve, and the filter drain plug.
5. Remove the hair and lint strainer pot lid and clean the basket. Replace the basket and secure the lid.
6. Remove the filter lock ring by depressing the two spring loaded locking blocks and rotating the ring
counter clockwise until the ring is free from the filter body.
7. Remove the filter lid using the lifting handles on the lid.
WARNING
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock
ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the lid to be blown off which can result in severe injury, death, or
property damage.
