Backwash Menu - Pentair ControlPro Series Installation Manual

BACKWASH menu

This menu manages the filter backwash. When using the ProValve automated backwash valve it is possible to schedule
automatic backwashing (triggered by total filtration time).
For pools equipped with a manual 6 way valve, the system will guide the user through the backwash cycle. Backwash
duration can be programmed (in case of a variable speed pump with backwash at speed 4).
ControlPro has no means of verifying the water level in your pool. Performing a backwash with insufficient
water in the pool can lead to damage.

Backwash delay sets the time between automatic backwashes. Only
effective filtration time is taken into account.

backwash takes place. After a backwash the time is reset. The main menu
