Installation (continued)
Turn your pump on and check the hose clamps and plumbing for leaks. If there's a
leak, you may have to loosen the clamp, then push the hose further up onto the barb.
Then tighten the hose clamps or couplers again. After the pump is on and has run
for about 5 minutes, slowly turn the red handle ('Solar On' position). Watch the
pressure gauge on your filter. When it has increased 5-7 psi you have achieved
optimum flow through the panel and should stop turning the handle. In most cases
the handle should never be turned completely across the pipe. The air that was in
the panel will bubble out into your pool for a few minutes--this is normal.
