4.
Your filter has now started its filter cycle. You should check that the water is returning to the pool.
5.
Check the system for water leaks. If a leak is found, shut off pump before correcting the leak.
6.
As the filter removes the dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulation will cause the
filter flow to diminish. It is then time to clean the filter's cellular media elements, see Section V,
Cleaning the Filter.
Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity, obstructing
visibility in your pool. Poor water clarity may obscure objects in the water which, while swimming and
diving, could cause severe personal injury and death. Never swim in a pool with poor water clarity.
SECTION V. 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.
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 and water return port with a rag. This will prevent water from the pool from
running out while servicing.
4.
Open the filter air relief valve, and the filter drain plug.
5.
Disconnect the pump connector from the pump.
6.
Unscrew the locking ring (turning counter-clockwise) from the filter head.
7.
Remove the CELLULAR MEDIA ELEMENT from the filter body.
8.
Using a garden hose, direct water spray at the CELLULAR MEDIA ELEMENT to dislodge and
wash away any accumulated foreign matter.
9.
Clean and remove any debris from inside the filter body.
10. Replace the CELLULAR MEDIA ELEMENT into the filter body.
11. Clean any debris from the O-ring at the top of the filter tank. Apply a silicone lubricant to the O-
ring.
DO NOT USE A PETROLEUM-BASE LUBRICANT ON THE O-RING.
