CONTROL VALVE OVERVIEW
WARNING: To prevent equipment damage and possible injury, always switch off
the sand filter before changing the Control Valve function. Changing valve
positions while the pump is running can damage the Control Valve, which may
cause personal injury or property damage.
How to Use the Control Valve:
Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to desired function.
CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS
The Control valve is used to select 6 different filter functions: Filter, Rinse, Circulate, Backwash, Closed and
Drain.
Filter: This function is used to filter pool water
and should be positioned here 99% of the time.
Water is pumped through the sand filter, where it
is cleaned and returned to the pool.
Backwash:This function is used to clean the sand
bed; water is pumped down through the Collector
Hub, upwards through the sand bed, and
deposited out of Port D.
Rinse: This function for initial startup, cleaning,
and sand bed leveling after Backwash; water is
pumped downwards through the sand bed, up
through the Collector Hub and deposited out of
the valve Port D.
NOTE:
• Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet applicable local, state or national codes. Do not discharge
water where it will cause flooding or damage.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position, water will discharge from Port D on
the Control Valve.
• Do not switch on or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to the Closed function or it will seriously
damage the sand filter.
• Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port D before operating the sand filter.
