Draining Excess Water

Steps to Drain Excess Water Off Your Pool:

  • Turn main filter pump off and pool cleaner pump off.
  • Open black 3-way valve next to the filter, to waste setting (cartridge filter).
  • Turn multi-port valve to wast setting (sand filter).
  • Turn main filter pump back on.
  • The blue hose should unroll out and let water out of the pool or should have waste flow out of the open end PVC pipe. 
  • Continue draining water off of the pool until pool level is at middle of tile line and/or skimmer.
  • Turn main filter pump off, close 3-way valve or turn multi-port valve back to filter setting and roll up blue hose. 
  • Turn main filter pump back on and check pressure on filter (12 to 20 psi).
