Optional Paramount Debris Canister; Relationship With Pool Equipment - Paramount Fitness PCC2000 Owner's Manual

OPTIONAL PARAMOUNT DEBRIS CANISTER

Your pool may be equipped with the Paramount optional deck side debris canister (DDC), which would be located
in the deck next to your pool or the equipment side debris canister (EDC) on the equipment pad. The debris
canister is where the debris from your pool is gathered after it passes through the drain. It is important the debris
is emptied from the debris canister's catch basket regularly, just like your skimmer and pump baskets, so your pool
equipment will continue to operate efficiently. The DDC has a patented water sealed easy to remove twist lock lid
that needs no o-ring. The DDC canister's water sealed lid has an equalizer running from the debris canister to the
pool to keep water on top of the lid. The equalizer line must be kept clear from obstructions.

RELATIONSHIP WITH POOL EQUIPMENT

Cleaning Systems Powered by the Filter Pump
Pumps must be capable of maintaining 20 psi (138 kPa) on the water valve(s) pressure gauge.
Your pump must be capable of maintaining 20 psi (138 kPa) at the water valve regardless of the additional features on your pool such as spas, solar
heating systems, heat pumps, water features, chlorinators, or any other device that is powered by your pump.
Adding items to your filter system after construction (solar, heat pumps, water features, chlorinators, and any thing that takes pressure away from the
nozzles) will have a negative effect on the cleaning system. Please contact your builder or Paramount before adding these items.
Keeping filter clean is required to maintain the 20 psi (138 kPa) at the water valve. A dirty filter will prevent your system from cleaning the pool.
The in-floor system comes with a pressure gauge on the water valve and although the system may operate at lower psi, the best cleaning results require 20
to 24 psi (138-165 kPa) at the water valve pressure gauge. You will see reduced performance if the system is operated at less than ideal pressure.
The systems cleaning cycle is determined by many factors (landscape, temperature, weather and condition of pool equipment). To determine your
cleaning cycle, run the pool until it is clean. In extreme conditions an extended cycle will be necessary.
It is important to keep the skimmer and pump basket(s) empty, so your pool equipment will power your in-floor system. Failure to do so will negatively
affect the performance of your system.
When cleaning your cartridge or D.E. Filter care must be taken before removing the filter elements that the filter tank be drained and rinsed out. This
is required to prevent dirt and debris from entering the return line and getting into your in-floor system or any other down-line components.
