Why is the bottom of my cartridge the only dirty part?

The most likely cause is excessive water flow through the filter. The water may be moving so fast, that it goes in and comes out without flowing through the entire filter housing. Reducing the size of the pump usually corrects the problem.

Why is my electrical bill so high?

Electric rates have substantially increased over the past few years. Ensure the time clock or automated control is correctly set. Six to eight hours a day is a good benchmark for circulation time. This will vary depending on the size of the pool and the horsepower of the pump. If you using a single speed pump, use of a 2 speed motor will save you lot of money. Consult with a waterwayparts professional for the recommended filter time for your specific pool.

Where should I place the skimmer in my above ground pool?

A skimmer should be placed in the path of circulating water in the opposite direction of typical wind direction. There aren’t any hard rules on location, especially with the popularity of free form pools.

HOW DO I WINTERIZE MY BAQUAPURE PUMP?

To winterize a Baquapure pool pump, turn off the electrical circuit  breaker that supplies power to the pump. Also, make sure that there is  NO water left inside the pump. All Baquapure pumps are equipped with  drain plugs that will allow excess water to drain once the plugs are  removed. Disconnect the pump from the system and after all the water is  drained out, store indoors for the winter. Contact your local pool/spa professional or dealer for proper winterization procedures.

What are the functions of the Waterway Multi port valve?

Filter – Allows the water to flow through the filter media and then directs the water to the return lines and back to the pool.

Backwash – When the filter pressure rises 8-10  pounds over the clean starting pressure, the water is directed through  the filter in the opposite direction of “Filter”. This enables the dirty  water and debris to be removed from the filter.

Waste – The water is directed from the pump,  through the multi-port valve and out of the waste line (the water never  enters the filter tank).

Re-Circulate – The water enters the valve and returns into the pool (the water never enters the filter tank).

Rinse – Mainly used with sand filters. After  backwashing run the filter in the rinse position, this will clear the  plumbing lines from any remaining debris left after backwashing and  resets the sand bed.

Closed – This position will not allow water flow through the valve.

Winter – Used when winterizing. This position  is between two other positions and allows water to flow in all  directions. This is used to prevent water being trapped in the valve  that could freeze and crack the valve
