When installing backwash lines, it is recommended that a vacuum breaker be installed on installations where the backwash line length exceeds 40 ft.
Alternately a vacuum break pit should be provided. The maximum operating pressure of the unit is 50 pounds per square inch psi and 75 pounds per square inch psi for the Triton HD model only. Never operate this filter above these pressures or attach a pump to this filter that has more than 50 psi shut off pressure or 75 psi shut off pressure for the Triton HD model only. Never install a chlorinator upstream of the filter. Always locate downstream and with a check valve between the chlorinator and filter.
A positive shut off valve is not recommended at the outlet of the filtering system. If the system is ever run with such avalveclosed,theinternalairreliefsystembecomesinoperativeandanexplosivesituationcouldexist.
Additionally, running the system with no flow will seriously damage the equipment. Never store pool chemicals within 10 ft. Pool chemicals should always be stored in a cool, dry wellventilatedarea. The oval closure used on the TRC-3 and TRC-3 is designed to provide a vacuum relief mechanism that protects the tank from vacuum conditions. The closure will allow air to enter the tank if the tank is higher that 8 ft. In these cases, when the filter restarts after shut down, you may observe air being returned to the pool in the return fittings.
This is not unusual, it is simply the automatic air relief in the filter removing the air in the filter. Ona newpool, clean the pool before filling the pool withwater. Excessive dirt and large particles can causedamage to the pump and filter. Ensure the backwash line is open so that water is free to come from the pool and flow out the backwash line.
Set the valve position as follows:. If using a Multiport valve, set valve to backwash position. If using a Two Position Slide Valve, push handle down to backwash position and engage lock by twisting handle. Check pump strainer pot to be sure it is full of water.
Check closure on filter for tightness. Open the manual air bleeder on the filter closure. Stand clear of the filter and start the pump allowing it to prime. Close the air bleeder on the closure when all the air is removed from the filter and a steady stream of water emerges. NOTE: Pool filter sand is typically pre-washed and should not require extensive backwashing.
However, the shipping process may cause excessive abrasion which could require an extended backwash cycle at initial start-up; continue to backwash until the backwash water is as clear as the pool water.
Stop the pump. If using a Multiport valve, set the valve to the filter position. If using the Two Position Slide Valve, raise the handle to filter position and engage valve lock by twisting handle.
Ensure all suction and pool return lines are open so that water is free to come from the pool and return to the pool. Stand clear of the filter and start the pump. The filter has now started its filtering cycle.
You should ensure that water is returning to the pool and take note of the operating pressure when the filter is clean. Propercareandmaintenancewilladdmany years of service and enjoyment to the pool. Follow these suggestions for long trouble-free operations:. To clean the exterior of the filter of dust and dirt, wash with a mild detergent and water then hose off. Do not use solvents. If internal maintenance is required, sand may be removed by removing the sand drain from the bottom of the filterandflushingwithagardenhose.
If after a number of years, the filter tank appears foggy in color or rough in texture, the tank surface can be painted. We recommend the use of a Quick Dry Spray Enamel. Do NOT paint the valve. Replace any item which is cracked, deformed or otherwise visually defective. Defective filter components can allow the filter top or attachments to blow off and could cause severe bodily injury or property damage. The filter closure on your Triton Sand Filter was manufactured with high quality corrosion resistant materials.
This part should be carefully inspected whenever servicing your filter. Alwaysrelievetankpressure and open air bleeder on the filter closure before attempting to service your filter.
There are three different ways to identify when the filter needs backwashing. A more subjective and less accurate indicator is to observe the amount of water flowing from the flow directionalslocatedinthewallofthepool. Themostcommonlyusedbutlessaccurateindicatoristobackwashwhenthefiltergaugereadingincreases 10 PSI over the initial clean filter reading. It is important not to backwash the filter solely on a timed basis such as every three days.
It is also important to note that backwashing too frequently actually causes poor filtration. Factors like weather conditions, heavy rains, dust or pollen, and water temperature all affect the frequency of backwash. As you use your pool, you will become aware of these influences. If at any time the starting pressure after backwashing the filter indicates 4 to 6 PSI higher than normal starting pressure, it is time to perform a chemical cleaning procedure.
Ensure that the suction and backwash lines are open so that water is free to come from the pool and flow out the backwash line. Set control valve position as follows:. If using a Multiport Valve, set valve to backwash position. Stand clear of the filter and start pump.
Backwash filter for approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until backwash water is clean. If using a Multiport Valve, set valve to rinse position and continue with remaining steps. If using a Two Position Slide Valve, skip to step 8. Rinse filter for approximately 30 seconds. Stop the pump and set valve as follows:. If using a Multiport Valve, set valve to filter position. Ensure that pool return line is open so that water may freely flow from the pool back to the pool.
Open manual air bleeder on Triton closure. Stand clear of filter and start pump. Close manual air bleeder of the closure when all the air is removed and a steady stream of water emerges from the bleeder. You should ensure that water is returning to the pool and take note of the filter pressure.
The filter pressure, in the above Step 12, should not exceed the pressure originally observed on the filter when it was initially started. If after backwashing, the pressure is 4 to 6 PSI above the start condition, it will be necessary to chemically clean the sand bed. It is recommended that an approved cleaner be used.
Please contact your local pool chemical supplier or retail store for the proper cleaner. These cleaners will remove oils, scale and rust from the sand bed in one cleaning operation. Mix a solution following the manufacturers instructions on the label. Backwash the filter as outlined on page 8. If the filter is below pool level, shut off the pump and close appropriate valving to prevent draining the pool. Shut off pump, open filter drain and let filter drain. Place valve in backwash position.
After filter has drained, close filter drain and remove the pump strainer pot lid. Ensure that the backwash lines are open. Turn the pump on and slowly pour the cleaning solution into the pump strainer with the pump running. Continue adding solution until the sand bed is saturated with cleaning solution. Replace lid on pump. Shut off the pump and leave filter in backwash position. Allow filter to stand overnight 12 hours. Replace the pump lid and follow backwash procedures on page 8.
Do not allow the cleaning solution to get into the pool. In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, protect the pool equipment by backwashing the filter. On the Two Position Slide Valve, if possible, remove the valve piston assembly; clean, lubricate and store in a dry location for the winter.
Thefilterwilldrainvery slowly, and therefore, it is recommended that the drain plug be left out. Drain all appropriate system piping. We recommend covering the equipment with a tarpaulin or plastic sheet to inhibit deterioration from weather. Do NOT wrap pump motor with plastic.
