FLOAT VALVE (WATER BOX)
The float valve should only be adjusted if the water

float valve for debris or damage.
NOTE: If the float ball has any water inside it
must be replaced.
When replacing float ball, DO NOT over- tighten,

Y-STRAINER (OUTLET)
Inspect the Y-strainer after the first week of running
the unit by unscrewing the screen and remove any
accumulated debris. Inspect the strainer again
every 2 weeks.
The Y-strainer should then be inspected every
month. However, if the Y-strainer has a frequent
build-up of debris it should be inspected and cleaned
more often.
TEMPERATURE BALANCE ORIFICE
Inspect the Temperature Balance Orifice every
week. Be sure to drain the water box below ½ full.
Clean as necessary. The orifice needs to be kept
clean. Cleaning in this waw will be dependent on
the water hardness you are using.
CHECK VALVE (OUTLET)
Inspect the check valve when rebuilding the
chemical pump or as needed. Remove and
disassemble the check valve. Check the Teflon seat
for debris or abnormal wear. Clean or replace seat if
needed.
NOTE: Improper seating of the check valve poppet,
damaged spring, or o-rings will cause poor operation
of the chemical system.
For the procedure, see the "General Service
Adjustments" section in this manual for details.
CHEMICAL PUMP
Rebuild the chemical pump every 500 hours. This
involves changing the diaphragm and check valves.
For the procedure, see the "Chemical Pump"
section in this manual for details.
NOTE: Inspect chemical filter daily.
