4.1 Hasierako martxan jartzea
- Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and the filter drain plug is closed.
- Open the air relief valve on top of the filter tank.
- Start the pool pump. Allow the filter tank to fill with water, and air to escape through the air relief valve.
- Aire-erliebearen balbulatik ur-jario etengabe bat ateratzen denean, itxi balbula.
- Note the initial pressure gauge reading. This is your clean filter operating pressure.
4.2 Eragiketa normala
The PLM200 filter is designed for continuous filtration. Monitor the pressure gauge regularly. As dirt accumulates in the filter cartridges, the pressure will rise. When the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above the clean filter operating pressure, it is time to clean the filter cartridges.
The filter's design, with complete media coverage and shallow pleats, optimizes dirt holding capabilities, leading to longer filter cycles and reduced cleaning frequency.
