The Poolmaid Weir Valve
To ensure your Poolmaid's optimum
performance, we have included a
Poolmaid Weir Valve. This valve will
immediately give you the state of
your filter system. Should your filter
require backwashing, this will be
clearly visible by observing the posi-
tion of the flow indicator.
Installing the Valve
The valve should be fitted to the
inlet/suction in your pool weir/skim-
mer box.
