Question 1

How to install the filter fingers of the HAYWARD Powerline kit?

Accepted Answer

The filter fingers (filterfinger) of the HAYWARD Powerline sand filtration kit do not screw in. They are pushed in by hand into the pre-filter basket.

Installing the filter fingers

Position each finger vertically above a slot in the basket.
Press firmly and evenly to push the filter finger in until it clicks completely into the basket.
You will feel a slight resistance, followed by a click indicating that the part is securely attached.
Check that the finger is stable and does not move once in place.

Note: The PDF of this manual does not detail this step precisely. If you have any doubts or encounter unusual resistance, refer to the documentation provided directly with the filter fingers or contact your HAYWARD dealer, as the exact system may vary depending on the version of the kit.

Question 3

How to prime the pump of the HAYWARD Powerline sand filtration kit in filtration mode?

Accepted Answer

To prime the pump of your HAYWARD Powerline sand filtration kit in filtration mode, follow these simple steps:

Steps to Prime the Pump

Check the pool water level: Make sure the water level is high enough to cover the skimmers. A level that is too low prevents the pump from priming correctly.
Turn off the pump: Before any handling, cut the power supply to the pump to ensure your safety.
Open the air purge cap: Locate the air purge cap on the filter and open it slightly to let trapped air escape.
Fill the pre-filter with water: If your pump has a pre-filter, open its lid and fill it with water until it is full. This facilitates priming by preventing the pump from sucking in air.
Close the purge cap: As soon as water starts to come out of the purge cap, close it quickly to prevent air from entering.
Restart the pump: Turn the pump back on and observe the pressure gauge to check that the pressure is stable and within the normal range.
Check for leaks: Inspect the seals and connections to ensure there are no air or water leaks that could prevent priming.

If the pump still does not prime after these steps, there may be a more complex technical issue requiring specific intervention.
