START UP
When the filter has been loaded. Proceed as follows:
1.- Place the multiport valve in the RINSE position.
2.- Switch on pump.
3.- As the water enters the filter, open the air bleed on the pressure gauge tee, there will be a lot of air to purge from the
filter. Gradually you will see water rise within the filter (if you have a clear lid) when water starts to come out of the air
purge, close it.
4.- Stop the pump and move the multiport valve to the FILTRATION position.
5.- Switch on the pump. You are now filtering the water.
Over the next few days, occasionally open this air purge to check if any more air has accumulated and needs purging.
On start up some OC-1 will float, this is perfectly normal. Over the course of approx. 3 days it will all sink.
BACKWASH / RINSE PROCEDURE
Periodically, as detailed in this manual earlier, the filter media will require cleaning. The procedure is as follows:
1.- Switch off the pump.
2.- Move the multiport handle to the backwash position.
3.- Open the valve on the backwash / drain line (if there is one)
4.- Switch pump back on for approx. 30 seconds.
5.- Switch pump off and move multiport handle to the rinse position.
6.- Switch the pump on for approx. 30 seconds.
7.- Repeat the procedures 1 – 6 leaving the pump running for 2 minutes each time.
8.- Close the valve on the backwash / drain line (if there is one)
9.- Move the multiport handle to the filtration position.
