- Always shut the pump off before changing valve positions.
- After installation, perform a backwash/rinse cycle and check for leaks at the clamp and ports.

Maintenance Tips
- Backwash when filter pressure rises about 8–10 PSI above your clean starting pressure.
- After every backwash, run Rinse briefly before returning to Filter to help prevent blowback.
- If you see water leaking to waste while filtering, inspect the internal diverter/spider gasket and seals.
- Keep clamp and sealing surfaces clean during service, and replace the tank O-ring if it’s flattened, cracked, or stretched.
