2 സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ

മുന്നറിയിപ്പ്:

• To prevent severe injury from the lid blowing off, this high flow air relief valve must be completely open before servicing the system or starting the pump.
• Risk of electrical shock or electrical hazard. Water discharged from an improperly positioned valve can create an electrical hazard. Severe personal injury and property damage may occur.
• Always ensure the pump is turned off and all pressure is released from the system before attempting any maintenance or installation.

5. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും

Follow these steps for proper installation of your new air relief valve assembly:

1. തയ്യാറാക്കൽ: Ensure your pool pump is turned off and all pressure has been released from the filter system.
2. പഴയ വാൽവ് നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക: Carefully unscrew and remove the existing air relief valve from the filter. Note any O-rings or seals that may be present.
3. Assemble New Valve (if necessary): The new valve assembly may come in two parts: the valve body and the pressure gauge. Apply Teflon tape (included with some models) clockwise to the threads of the pressure gauge before screwing it securely onto the valve body.
4. പുതിയ വാൽവ് ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the O-ring at the base of the new valve assembly. Carefully screw the new valve assembly into the designated port on your filter tank. Tighten by hand until snug, being careful not to overtighten.
5. ചോർച്ച പരിശോധിക്കുക: Turn on your pool pump. Once the system is running, check for any leaks around the newly installed valve.

6. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The air relief valve is essential for proper filter operation and safety. Follow these guidelines for use:

• റെലെasing Air: Before opening the filter for cleaning or maintenance, or if you notice air in your pump system, turn off the pump. Then, manually open the air relief valve by rotating the top cap to the 'OPEN' position. You will hear a hissing sound as air escapes. Keep the valve open until a steady stream of water emerges, indicating all air has been purged. Close the valve once water flows consistently.
• Pressure Gauge Reading: The integrated pressure gauge indicates the internal pressure of your filter system. The gauge typically has 'START' and 'CLEAN FILTER' indicators. The 'START' pressure is the normal operating pressure when the filter is clean. As the filter collects debris, the pressure will rise. When the pressure reaches the 'CLEAN FILTER' indicator, it is time to clean or backwash your filter.

7. പരിപാലനം

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your air relief valve:

• ചോർച്ചകൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Periodically check the valve for any signs of water leaks, especially around the base and where the pressure gauge connects. A small drip can indicate a failing O-ring or a loose connection.
• ഓ-റിംഗ് അവസ്ഥ: The O-ring at the base of the valve can degrade over time, leading to leaks. If leaks are detected, inspect the O-ring for cracks or wear and replace it if necessary.
• Gauge Clarity: Ensure the pressure gauge face remains clear and readable. If it becomes cloudy or difficult to read, the gauge may need replacement.

8. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

If you encounter issues with your air relief valve, consider the following:

• Valve Leaking: If the valve is leaking from its base or around the pressure gauge, the most common causes are a worn O-ring or insufficient Teflon tape on the gauge threads. Replace the O-ring or reapply Teflon tape as needed. If the plastic body is cracked, the entire assembly must be replaced.
• കൃത്യമല്ലാത്ത പ്രഷർ റീഡിംഗ്: If the pressure gauge appears stuck or provides inconsistent readings, it may be faulty and require replacement.
• സിസ്റ്റത്തിലെ വായു: If air continues to enter the system after properly purging, check all connections for leaks, including the pump lid, skimmer basket, and plumbing.
