Winterizing your Filter
1. In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, protect the pool equipment by backwashing the filter.
2. After backwashing, shut the pump off, open the manual air bleeder on the 6-Way Valve, (except TA 100D), and
move the handle of the Multiport Valve to the Winterize Position.
3. Remove the wing-type plug on the bottom of the filter. The filter will drain very slowly, and therefore, it is
recommended that the drain plug be left out during shutdown season.
*NOTE: The Multiport Valve should be left in the "Winterize Position" during shutdown season so that the valve
diverter has no pressure on the rubber seal.
4. Drain all appropriate system piping.
5. We recommend covering the equipment with a tarpaulin or plastic sheet to inhibit deterioration from weather.
Do NOT wrap the pump motor with plastic.
