GENERAL INFORMATION
Vertical Grid D.E. Filter combines superior water filtration with ease of operation and totally corrosion-free
construction. It uses diatomaceous earth (D.E.), which is the most efficient dirt remover and filter medium known.
The D.E., which is usually fed through the skimmer at initial start-up, uniformly coats the filter elements that are
covered with a custom fitted monofilament polypropylene filter cloth. As pool water is pumped through the control
valve into the bottom of the filter tank, the D.E. surface, or coating, filters out even the minutest particles resulting in
clear, clean, sparkling water.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to flow, the pressure rises, and flow
diminishes. This means the dirt holding capacity of the D.E. has been reached, and it is time to clean (backwash)
your filter. With the control valve in the back wash position, the water is automatically reversed through the filter,
flushing trapped dirt, debris and D.E. out the waste line. Once the filter is backwashed (cleaned) of D.E. and dirt,
the control valve is manually re-sequenced to filter position and a fresh charge of D.E. is added to resume normal
filtering.

3 the shade to shield
it from continuous, direct heat from the sun.
4.Assemble appropriate Filter Control valve (not
included) to filter. Lubricate the O-ring first . Align the
two (2) valve pipe connections, with O-rings in place, with
the two openings in the side of the filter tank and press in
firmly. Secure the assembly to the tank connections with
the two bulkhead lock nuts. Do not over-tighten.
5.
Connect the pool suction plumbing between the
skimmer, pool outlet and the pump.
9. Verify water discharge from the manual air relief
valve(MAR) is directed away from electrical devices.
