The I need to turn the pumps and water off? Appreciate

[@chriss1227]

Don't close the pressure valve until you start the filter and water flows out of it.

Thanks for the video, I have this filter in a house I just purchased and it’s so sun bleached that I can’t even tell what model it is. I have a start now with this.

I have this same system and I can NOT put that lid back on. You do it so easy in the video .. What am I doing wrong? should I put some kind of lubricant on the gasket and lid? Thank u!

Thx for the video. I have the same exact name brand and set up. I’m new to all this pool stuff.
When you placed the lid back on, I noticed you didn’t line up the small valve insert on the bottom of the lid with the top valve insert on top of the filter cartridge. Does it matter?

It should be there water in that thank? If is dirty i should empty it and how I'll do that!.
Thank you.

There is a plug on the bottom of the tank. Take that out and it will drain the debris out. Rinse with a bit of water if need be. Hope that helps.
