E g. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 10 to 12 psi higher than the original starting pressure.
Your filter pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this build-up of pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc. Table 2 Weight of No. Filter Area sq. Diamote Coffee Cans 24 2. Full-Flow Valve. Open High Flow manual air relief valve. Your filter elements must be precoated with this material in order to protect their surfaces and provide the most efficient filtering action.
Refer to Table 2 for the proper quantity to use with your filter. The Titan RPM Vertical Grid Series filters are listed with the appropriate amounts of diatomite to be used to precoat the filter elements. Do not "pack" or compress diatomite into the coffee can. If there is a separate skimmer line and main drain line plumbed to the pump, close the main drain valve. Follow the instructions provided with your pump. Care should be taken not to lose or damage the internal air relief, located on top of the manifold.
After coating the stand-pipe O-ring generously with a silicone base lubricant, replace the element assembly in the filter tank, seating it firmly in place.

Replace clean bag and set bag in seat curved portion of Separation Tank. Put plastic hold-down in place to prevent earth from going back into pool, one double bag is furnished with Separation Tank.
Contents are to be placed in a waste or trash container, clean the bag and re-insert in the Separation Tank.
Your filter is now in operation. E 2 Open the High Flow manual air relief valve until it snaps into the full open position this only requires a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
To completely disassemble the filter element assembly for a more thorough cleaning of the individual elements, stand the element assembly on the deck exactly as it comes out of the filter with the manifold on top.
Disassembly: a. Remove plastic stand-offs from tie rod ends. Remove the two thumb nuts. Remove top manifold by holding lift handles and pulling straight up. Gently remove the plastic template from the elements.
Remove elements one at a time from the bottom spreader. Cleaning with water: a. Removal of these deposits may be accomplished by soaking the filter elements in six 6 parts water to one 1 part hydrochloric acid muriatic acid.
Soak for at least four 4 hours in a plastic tub or pail. Rinse filter elements thoroughly in tap water. Reassemble: a. This will keep the elements positioned correctly. Using moderate force push down on the manifold to seat it on to the elements. Replace the two thumb nuts hand tight and replace the two plastic stand-offs.
Replace the completed element assembly into the filter tank. Rinse the air bleed tube with water to clean away built-up debris. Normally, this is all that is necessary to properly clean the tube.
If the tube appears to be clogged or damaged, follow the remaining steps of this section below. Remove the snap clamp from the tube assembly as follows: a. Twist the two push tabs in opposite directions. Spread the clamp open, and lift off of the tube, see Figure 3. Remove the polyester sock from the tube. Clean the sock by rinsing with water.
Air Bleed Tube Adap. Inspect the air bleed tube. If there is any lodged debris, remove the debris using a toothpick or pipe cleaner. Reinstall the sock onto the tube. Slide the clamp onto the tube assembly, position it past the rib near the bottom of the tube, and close the clamp by squeezing the push tabs.
If any parts appear to be damaged, replace them immediately. With the High Flow manual relief valve attached to the filter tank, pull out the locking tabs and remove the valve stem and cover assembly with a counterclockwise and lifting motion, see Figure 4. Figure 4. Clean debris from the valve stem and body. Ensure that the O- rings are in good condition, properly positioned, and lubricated with a silicone base lubricant.
Correct any conditions in your filtration system that allow air to enter the system. Some common ways to identify air entering the system are listed below.
Air bubbles or low water level in pump hair and lint pot are caused by the following factors: 1 Low water level. Air is discharged from the High Flow manual air relief valve on top of the filter when the valve is opened with the pump running, see steps A. Removal of these may be accomplished by soaking the grids in six 6 parts water to one 1 part hydrochloric acid muriatic acid. In most cases, pool owners are dismayed by the undesirable color and appearance of water in a newly filled pool.
Plaster dust can be responsible for short filter runs, requiring frequent cleaning. If it turns freely then the pump must be disassembled and the impeller checked to see if it is clogged. If it is not frozen or clogged then there is an obstruction in the line between the pool and the pump.
E F. Check the operation of your pressure gauge in the following manner. The pressure gauge should indicate pressure when the system is operating. The pressure gauge should be readable and not damaged in any way.

Love the site and see I'm not alone with lots of pool issues.
Any help you folks can provide would be greatly appreciated! I assume that you have called the company that makes it and also looked on their website to see if it can be downloaded? I'll ask Waterbear, but I don't have any of those manuals. Join Date Dec Location S. E Maine Age 55 Posts 1, Can you post a pic or 2?
I know a bit about DE filters and may be able to help. I have been searching across the internet on-and-off for some time but "no joy" in finding an owner's manual.
Anyway, after a night's sleep and a relaxing morning cup of coffee, I went back out to tackled the filter grid. Link to PoolCenter. I'll send pics and pool specs a bit later.
I'm using a mix of aftermarket replacement filters, particularly the UNICEL model FG, which doesn't seem to affect the performance of this old DE filter system, but this is also indicative of what I'm having to do with all of the pool's plumbing thankfully, the pump motor is still running strong - but the Polaris is definitely dead. Best advice I've gotten so far from your site is help balancing and maintaining that balance in the pool chemistry. Got lots of horror sotries here alone, but in short, you've got another BBB devotee.
Thanks again, folks, and if you ever do come across that owner's manual, or know what is the proper amount of DE to add after a backwash, please let me know. Right now, I'm only guessing based on what some other folks "think" the right amount is. Join Date Nov Location St. Augustine, Fl Age 67 Posts 3, Pentair has changed part numbers on their filters when the brand it was sold under changed but the filters have remained essentially the same. You can download all the manuals for American, Purex, Pacfab, Starbrite, etc.
