Algae
To restrict the growth of algae in the reservoir, it is recommended that the
reservoir cover be kept in place and that all circulation lines be opaque. This
will eliminate the entrance of light that is required for the growth of most
common algae.
We recommend the use of Chloramine-T, 1 gram per 3.5 liters. Other algicides
can be harmful to the unit's internal components. Contact us for additional
information.
Pump Strainer
Units with PD pumps have a strainer. Refer to the pump label on the rear of the
unit to identify the type of pump in your unit.
If debris is in the system, the strainer will prevent the material from being drawn
into the pump and damaging the pump vanes.
After initial installation, the strainer may become clogged with debris and
scale. Therefore, the strainer must be cleaned after the first week of installa-
tion. After this first cleaning, we recommend a monthly visual inspection. After
several months, the cleaning frequency will be established.
Before cleaning the strainer, disconnect the power cord from the power
source and drain the reservoir.
PD-1 pumps have a wire mesh strainer located in the pump head. PD-2
pumps have the strainer located in the pump suction line.
Remove the wrapper from the unit. Unscrew the plastic cap, or the larger of
the two acorn nuts on the pump head, and remove the screen.
Clean the screen by rinsing it with water.
When the screen is clean, replace it in the strainer, tighten the cap or acorn
nut and replace the wrapper. Refer to Section III, Filling Requirements for
instructions on replacing the cooling fluid.
