OPERATION 6.1 FILTERING ____WARNING Filtration starts as soon as flow is steady through the filter. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease. When the pressure rises between 0,49 - 0,69 bar (7 and 10 psi) above the starting pressure, or when the flow decreases below the desired rate, clean or replace the filter cartridge elements. Once your filter is running and there is a pressure reading, line up the green arrow with the current reading. (See Fig 6) When the pressure rises to or above the red or second arrow, it is time to clean or replace your filter cartridge elements. By recording the initial starting pressure (with clean filter elements) a determination can be made when the Filter Cartridge Elements should be replaced rather than cleaned. After the Filter Elements have been cleaned and reinstalled if the starting pressure is higher than 0,41 bar (6 PSI) above the starting pressure with the new Filter Cartridge Elements, the Filter Cartridge Elements should be replaced the next time the gauge arrow reaches the red arrow. 0,49 - 0,69 Bar (7 - 10 PSI) Time to clean the Filter Cartdridges, when the pressure reaches the Red Arrow. Clean Pressure. Place a Green Arrow here. 0 Bar Figure 6 14 6.2 MAINTAINING YOUR FILTER ____This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional. ____WARNING 6.2.1 Filter Disassembly Instructions 1.
