INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION The Vertical Grid D.E. Filter provides an effective water filtration solution, combining user-friendly operation with corrosion-resistant construction. It employs diatomaceous earth (D.E.), renowned as the most efficient dirt remover and filter medium available. During the initial start-up, D.E. is typically introduced through the skimmer, coating the filter elements, which are protected by a custom monofilament polypropylene filter cloth.
OPERATION STARTING THE PUMP AND FILTER SYSTEM WARNING BEFORE STARTING THE PUMP Use ONLY Original Components: Utilize only original components, as non-original parts may malfunction • during use, potentially leading to explosive separation of components. • Verify that the upper and lower filter bodies are securely fastened with the filter body clamp. •...
OPERATION OPERATION WARNING FILTERING Filtration begins once the filter has been pre-coated. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the accumulated debris will create resistance to the flow. Consequently, the gauge pressure will increase, and the flow rate will decrease. When the pressure rises 8-10 psi (0.55-0.69 bar) above the pre-coat pressure, it indicates the need to perform a backwash (cleaning) operation on the filter.
