FIGURE 1
SWIMMING POOL PUMP
AND FILTER SYSTEM
This system operates under pressure and if
assembled improperly or operated with air in the
water circulation system it can separate and result in
an accident causing serious bodily injury. Awarning
label has been affixed to the filter and should not be
removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and
replace if missing or illegible. (For free labels call
1-919-774-4151).
Filters should never be tested or subjected to air or
gas under pressure. All gases are compressible and
under pressure create a danger. Severe bodily injury
or property damage could occur if the filter is subjected to air or gas pressure.
The system consists primarily of a centrifugal
pump, a high rate sand filter with control valve, a
connecting hose and a mounting base.
Your centrifugal pump is driven by an electric
motor. The motor is directly attached to the pump
impeller. As the electric motor turns it causes the
impeller to turn and this causes the water to flow. The
water flows into the hair and lint pot inlet and
through the basket assembly to prestrain large particles. The flow then enters the center of the pump
housing. The flow goes through the impeller into the
stationary diffuser, out the pump discharge port,
through the connecting hose and into the filter control
valve.
Dirt is collected in the filter as the water flows
through the control valve at the top of the filter and is
directed downward onto the top surface of the filter
sand bed. The dirt is collected in the sand bed and the
clean water flows through the lower piping at the bottom of the filter up through the center pipe into the
control valve at the top of the filter. Clean water then
returns through the piping system to the pool.
The pressure will rise and the flow to the pool will
be lowered as the dirt is collected in the filter.
Eventually, the filter will become so plugged with dirt
that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. It is important to know when to backwash the
filter. Backwashing is discussed further under the subsequent sections of this booklet.
Y our six position valve is designed to pr ovide all the
necessary positions required to operate, maintain,
trouble shoot and service your filter . It is pr ovided with
six operating positions and one Winterize position.
The valve is equipped with an external air bleeder
device. Always open this air bleeder and stand clear
of filter and valve before starting the system pump
and leave open until a steady stream of water is
expelled.
CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage and
possible injury, always turn pump off before changing valve position.
The valve has a closed position. The pump should
never be on when the valve is in the closed position. If
the pump is operated with the valve closed, the air
relief system becomes inoperative and an explosive situation could exist. Additionally, running the system
with no flow will seriously damage the equipment.
VALVE POSITIONS AND WATER
FLOW DIRECTIONS
FILTER - From pump,through valve downward thru
filter sand bed, up through center pipe to
valve RETURN port for normal filter action
and vacuuming pool thru filter.
BACKWASH- From pump through valve, down through
center pipe, upward thru sand bed, and to
valve WASTE port for cleaning filter by
reversing flow.
RINSE - From pump through valve downward thru
filter sand bed, up through center pipe to
valve WASTE port for start-up cleaning and
resetting filter bed after backwashing.
WASTE- From pump through valve bypassing filter
going to WASTE port for vacuuming directly
to waste, lowering pool level, or draining
pool.
CLOSED- NO FLOW - DO NOT USE THIS SETTING
WITH PUMP OPERATING.
RECIRCULATE- From pump , th rough valve, bypassing filter
and going to return port for circulating water
without going thru filter.
Please note that a filter removes suspended matter
and does not sanitize the pool. The pool water must
be sanitized and the water must be balanced for
sparkling clear water. Pool chemistry is a specialized
area and you should consult your local pool service
