START UP INSTRUCTIONS
For Threaded Closures
Use care when installing closure. The closure should turn freely in the filter, if resistance to closure insertion is felt, then slowly
remove the closure by turning counter-clockwise. The starting thread of the tank and closure must engage properly in order to
secure the closure. Do not cross-thread closure. Failure to install the closure properly can cause the closure to separate and could
cause severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
For Oval Closures
Use care when installing closure. The closure should be inserted into the tank by placing the small diameter of the oval closure
into the larger diameter of the tank opening. Insert the side of the closure that does not have the pressure gauge and air bleeder
first. The closure will need to be inserted at a 30° angle. Once the closure is inside the tank, it can be rotated 90° and lifted up to
seal the tank. The aluminum bridge with load spring can then be placed over the closure bolt and the hand knob tightened to load
the closure properly. The knob should be tightened by hand only. DO NOT USE A WRENCH TO TIGHTEN THE KNOB. You could
damage the tank or closure and cause a failure by using a wrench. Failure to install the closure properly can cause the closure to
separate and could cause severe bodily injury or property damage. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THE CLOSURE
WITH THE PUMP RUNNING.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in the closure blowing off and causing severe bodily injury or property damage.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of the system components. Exceeding these limits could result in a component
failing under pressure. This instantaneous release of energy can cause the closure to separate and could cause severe personal
injury or death if they were to strike a person. Air entering the filter and the tank closure not installed properly can cause the closure
to separate and could cause severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
Backwashing the Filter Before Start Up
After installing the ClearPro Technology
Extension Kits, be sure to backwash your filter before
starting your filter.
1. Stop the pump.
2. Be sure the suction and backwash lines are open
so that water is free to come from the pool and flow
out the backwash line. Set valve to BACKWASH.
Valve positions:
Multiport/ top mount valve: BACKWASH position.
Two position slide valve: push handle down to
BACKWASH, engage lock by twisting the handle.
3. Stand clear of the filter and start pump.
4. Backwash filter for approximately 3 to 5 minutes or
until backwash water is clean.
5. Stop the pump and set valve to RINSE.
Valve positions:
Multiport/top mount valve: RINSE position.
Two position slide valve: skip to step 8.
6. Stand clear of the filter and start pump.
7. Rinse filter for approximately 30 seconds.
8. Stop the pump and set valve to FILTER.
Multiport/top mount valve: FILTER position.
Two position slide valve: lift handle to FILTER
position, engage lock by twisting handle.
9. Be sure that pool return line is open so that water

may freely flow from the pool back to the pool.
10. Open manual air bleeder. Stand clear of filter and
start pump.
11. Close manual air bleeder of the closure when all
the air is removed and a steady stream of water
emerges from the bleeder.
12. The filter has now started its filtering cycle. You
should ensure that water is returning to the pool
and take note of the filter pressure.
13. The filter pressure, in the above step, should not ex-
ceed the pressure originally observed on the filter
when it was initially started. If after backwashing,
the pressure is 4 to 6 PSI above the start condition,
it will be necessary to chemically clean the sand
bed.
