FILTER - POSITION FOR FILTRATION. Incoming water from the piping system is automatically directed by the Multiport Valve to the top of the filter bed. As the water is pumped through the filter bed, dirt and debris are trapped by the filter bed. The filtered water is returned from the bottom of the filter vessel through the Multiport Valve and back through the piping system.
INITIAL STARTUP OF FILTER Be sure the correct amount of filter media is in the filter vessel and that all connections are hand tightened. Depress Multiport Valve handle, rotate to the BACKWASH position, and open the air release valve on the filter or Multiport Valve. Note: To prevent damage to control valve seal, always depress handle before turning.

CONDITIONS FOR BACKWASHING 6.3.1 The requirements for backwashing are determined by the following conditions: 1. The flow rate through the filter bed decreases until it is insufficient to meet the demand. 2. The debris removal efficiency of the filter bed decreases to the point where filtered water quality deteriorates or results in dirt or debris returning to the pool.
MAINTENANCE The filter media will only require replacement once it has reached the limits of its designated life. Refer to the product information of the particular filter media used. To ensure the maximum life of the selected filter media, please follow the procedures below: 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING Fault/Problem Possible Causes and Remedies Scoring or jamming with foreign matter or debris. If this condition persists after Above normal or rinsing, disassemble the valve to clear dirt and debris. Continued operation of the excessive force valve may result in a non-sealing condition (damage to spider gasket). This will lead to operate the to water loss to the backwash line or to inefficient filtration.
