TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. Short Cycle between backwashes:

NOTICE: Time between backwashes will vary with each installation and be- tween different areas of the country. The following causes and remedies are for cycle times shorter than normal for your area.

A. Chlorine residual too low; maintain proper residual (consult pool pro- fessional for recommendation).

B. Flow rate too high; restrict flow to rated capacity of filter (see instruc- tion plate on filter or specifications on Page 6).

C. Filter too small; install larger filter or additional filter.

D. Improper/insufficient precoat; see precoat instructions (Page 7).

E.Filter elements plugged; thoroughly clean filter (see No. 4, "Plugged Grid Cloth", below, and "Manual Filter Cleaning Procedure", Page 10).

F.Insufficient cleaning during backwash or annual cleaning; review cleaning instructions, Pages 9-11.

G.Too much DE; check for bridging between filter elements.

H.Water is chemically out of balance; consult pool professional.

2.Low Flow/High Pressure:

A.Elements plugged; clean filter thoroughly (see Pages 9-11).

B.Pipe blocked downstream from filter; remove obstruction.

C.Piping too small; use larger pipe (consult dealer for sizing).

D.Filter area too small; install larger filter or auxiliary filter (consult dealer for recommendation)

3.Low Flow/Low Pressure:

A.Pump too small; consult dealer for recommendations.

B.Plugged pump or plugged hair and lint trap; clean thoroughly.

4.Plugged Grid Cloth:

A.Insufficient precoat; see precoat instructions (Page 7).

B.Insufficient cleaning; follow cleaning instructions closely and clean thoroughly (see Pages 9-11).

C.Water is chemically out of balance; consult pool service man.

D.Excessive air in filter; non-precoated areas may plug. Vent air from tank and check for pump suction pipe leaks. Clean air bleed filter in grid as- sembly.

5.Pool Water Not Clean:

A.Chlorine dosage too low; maintain adequate chlorine residual (consult pool service man for recommendation).

B.Broken filter elements passing DE into pool; replace defective grids.

C.Insufficient or improper precoat; follow precoating instructions and use recommended amount of DE (see Page 7).

D.Inadequate turnover rate; consult dealer to verify that equipment is properly sized for your pool.
