FILTER CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS：
FILTER - Set valve to FILTER for normal filtering. Also used for regular vacuuming.
BACKWASH – For cleaning filter. When filter pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI (0.55-0.69 BAR) above the initial
start-up pressure.
Stop the pump, set valve to BACKWASH. Start pump and backwash until water in sight glass is clear.
Approximately 2 minutes or less depending on dirt accumulation. Proceed to RINSE.
RINSE –
After backwashing, with pump off, set valve to RINSE. Start the pump and operate for about 1/2 to 1
minute. This ensures that all dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the filter to waste, preventing
possible return to the pool. Stop pump, set valve to FILTER and start pump for normal filtering.
WASTE –
To bypass filter for draining or lowering water level and for vacuuming heavy debris directly to
waste.
RECIRCULATE: Water is recirculated through the pool system, bypassing the filter.
CLOSED – Shuts off flow from pump to filter.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE PUMP WHEN CHANGING VALVE’S POSITION.
