Winterizing The Filter System; Water Maintenance - Jacuzzi Avalanche Owner's Manual And Installation Manual

Winterizing the filter system:

Step 1
For above-ground pools with the filter system located below the pool water level.
You must drain the water in the pool below the skimmer and inlet fitting. Follow
pool manufacturer's recommendations for winterizing the pool. Your system is

full of water. To remove the water that is still captured in your piping and system,
drain the filter tank before proceeding.
Step 2
Drain the filter tank by first removing the drain
cap and then opening the air bleed valve.
Replace the drain cap once filter is drained.
TIP: A hose bib and garden hose can be con-
nected to allow drainage into a convenient
area.
Step 3
Drain the pump strainer and pump case by
loosening the plug shown. The pump will
drain without completely removing the plugs
from the pump.
NOTE: If temperatures in the winter are se-
vere, you may choose to disconnect your
filter system from the pool and move it to a
protected area.

Water maintenance:

A proper and consistent use of chemicals is necessary
to maintain clean, sanitary water, to prevent a spread of
germ infection and control the growth of algae which
can spoil the appearance and enjoyment of your pool
or spa. See your pool professional for proper chemical
maintenance.
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the pump before performing
any service or maintenance.
If filter Ring-Lok is removed or adjusted under pressure, the
filter cover may blow off, causing injury or major property
damage.
Unplug the pump cord.
