RELATIONSHIP WITH POOL EQUIPMENT

Cleaning Systems Powered by the Filter Pump

1. Pumps must be capable of maintaining 20 psi (138 kPa) on the
water valve(s) pressure gauge.
2. Your pump must be capable of maintaining 20 psi (138 kPa) at
the water valve regardless of the additional features on your pool
such as spas, solar heating systems, heat pumps, water features,
chlorinators, or any other device that is powered by your pump.
3. Adding items to your filter system after construction (solar, heat
pumps, water features, chlorinators, and any thing that takes
pressure away from the nozzles) will have a negative effect on
the cleaning system. Please contact your builder or Paramount
before adding these items.
4. Keeping filter clean is required to maintain the 20 psi (138 kPa) at
the water valve. A dirty filter will prevent your system from cleaning
the pool.
5. The in-floor system comes with a pressure gauge on the water
valve and although the system may operate at lower psi, the best
cleaning results require 20 to 24 psi (138-165 kPa) at the water
valve pressure gauge. You will see reduced performance if the
system is operated at less than ideal pressure.
6. The systems cleaning cycle is determined by many factors (land-
scape, temperature, weather and condition of pool equipment).
To determine your cleaning cycle, run the pool until it is clean. In
extreme conditions an extended cycle will be necessary.
7. It is important to keep the skimmer and pump basket(s) empty, so
