Your separation tank is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or
otherwise adjust it unless you fully understand it's operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the
equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool service professional for maintenance and service
assistance.
4. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 0.5 - 0.8 BAR (8-10 psi) higher than the original starting
pressure. Your filter pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this buildup of
pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.
MY ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS ___________ BAR or PSI
I SHOULD CLEAN THE FILTER CARTRIDGES AT __________ BAR or PSI
5. Change valve positions
• if using a multi-port valve, set to backwash position.
• if using a two position valve, reposition the valve to backwash position.
• if separation tank is plumbed to return water to pool, open by-pass valve.
• open manual air bleed on top of separation tank.
6. Stand clear of filter and separation tank. Start pump, this will circulate water backwards through the filter
and flush D.E. cake and contaminants into the separation tank. Close the manual air bleed on the top of the
separation tank when a steady stream of water emerges.
7. When the backwashing action is complete, (see your filter operating instructions), stop the pump.
