Vogue Industrial ABOVE GROUND SWIMMING POOL To Backwash the Filter, REMEMBER! Always backwash

TO BACKWASH THE FILTER.

It is a good idea to top the pool up by a couple of inches, as you will be loosing some to backwash/rinse.

IF A ‘ROLL-OUT’ BACKWASH HOSE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED ENSURE IT IS ROLLED OUT!

NEVER MOVE THE MULTIPORT VALVE WHEN THE PUMP IS ON

First switch heater off and allow to cool for 1 - 2 minutes.

With the filter pump switched off-

Depress the black multiport valve handle and turn to ‘Backwash’ position.

Switch the filter pump on and allow to run for 3 minutes or until the water runs clear. Switch the pump off, depress the multiport valve handle and turn to ‘Rinse’ position. Switch the pump on and allow to run for 15 - 20 seconds.

Switch the pump off, depress the multiport valve handle and return to ‘Filter’ position.

CAUTION Always ensure

filter pump is switched off when moving the multiport valve handle. Always ensure filter pump is switched and valved off and return inlet is

plugged before working on multiport

valve.

SIX POSITIONS OF A MULTIPORT VALVE (MPV)

Rinse- Used after every backwash to settle the sand bed down and clear the pipes of any sediment.

Recirc- Circulates the water and bypasses the filter. Useful for checking the pressure drop through the sand.

Filter- Water is pumped through the sand, filtered and returned to the pool.

	FILTER
RINSE	WASTE
RECIRCULATE	CLOSED
	BACKWASH

Backwash- Reverses the flow of water through the sand thereby cleaning it, water goes to waste.

Waste- Water bypasses

the filter and is pumped direct to waste. Used for vacuuming a very dirty pool, after the pool has been ‘flocced’ or for lowering the pool water level.

Closed- Used for winter closedown and to stop back flow of water from the filter if required.

REMEMBER! Always backwash

your filter at least once a week, regardless if it is clean or dirty. It will remove unnecessary chemical residue and maintain a healthy water balance.
