6. Troubleshooting
Problem
Pressure gauge has
reading over 1 bar.
Pressure is too low.
Air in the pump.
Leaking filter.
Pump does not run.
Sand in pool.
Air in system.
Possible cause
▪ Dirty filter sand.
▪ Hair & lint strainer is dirty.
▪ Pump does not get enough water.
▪ Poor seal on the intake side of the
pump.
▪ Seal defective.
▪ Not plugged in.
▪ Main circuit breaker tripped.
▪ Pump motor is defective.
▪ If the filter sand is new, there may be
small grains which are washed out of
the filter tank.
▪ Sand in the central valve (from
backwash)
▪ Separation wall in filter is improperly
installed.
▪ Filter bottom strainer is damaged.
Solution
▪ Backwash the filter (position 4).
▪ Clean the hair & lint strainer.
▪ Check the suction line and the water level.
▪ Tighten hose clamps and connecting fittings.
▪ Check the seal, replace if needed.
▪ Check the socket and power cord.
▪ Switch on the breaker (if it immediately trips again,
there is a defect in the pump or controls).
▪ Replace the pump.
▪ Backwash several times until the backwash water is
clear (position 4).
▪ Purge into drainpipe for 30 seconds (position 6).
▪ Check the separation wall for proper positioning.
▪ Replace the filter bottom strainer.
▪ Loosen, but do not remove, the transparent cover on
the filter tank to allow any trapped air to escape.
Tighten the cover once all the air has escaped.
