5 Easy Steps to Pool Openings.
#1 | Drain water from the top of the cover.
- Use a siphon hose or small cover pump.
- Be careful to not drain water from the pool through the cover.
- Once most of the water is removed, you can raise the water level in the pool and then remove the cover. ( or)
- Clean the cover while its still on the pool.
- A wet/dry vacuum works good for removing the last amounts of water from the cover.
- Use BioGuard stow-away to clean the cover & then store it in a large garbage container in a diluted solution of stow away & water.
#2 | Insert all baskets at skimmer and pump, insert all plugs & pressure gauge & gently tighten.
- Lubricate all o-rings & gaskets with a non petroleum based lube.
#3 | Before turning on pump be sure that it is primed. Pour water into the pump basket until water enters the line to the pool, then secure the lid.
#4 | Turn on pump with the filter set on backwash.
#5 | Run until the backwash water clears, turn the pump off & set to rinse, run until water is clear. Now you are ready to filter.
- Never change the position on your filter with the pump running.
