• Uncoil the backwash hose on its entire lenght and turn off the pump
• Place the filter handle on BACKWASH
• Activate the pump for two to three seconds and turn off the pump
• Activate the pump for three minutes on BACKWASH
• Turn off the pump between each step, reposition handle and restart pump
• Rinse for one (1) minute and place the handle back on FILTER
