Mine did the same. The rubber gasket under the valve knob had become messed up. I unscrewed the valve and put the gasket back in place. My local pool place says this happens alot when you turn the valve from backwash to filter while the pump is running.

Start-up procedure of pump commissioning?

Check pump: Maintenence: Done, work permit close, and power back from Substation. Panel: There is no alarms. Inform: Inform DCS Operator before start up the pump and be on touch with Control room. Level: Check Level, must be over Low level. if you start pump with low level or without level Cavitation will happen, but now almost all pumps have an Interlock device tp protect it and won't start in Low Level. Be sure: Discharge Valve Must be fully close before start pump, To avoid Motor Over current, and Suction valve must be fully open. Open Vent and wait to fill pump casing until the flow comes out without air, then close vent. Now you are ready to start pump but the important thing is to inform DCS operator that you finished the priming, then push Start Putton. After pump runing Check abnormal sounds or Hi vipuration and Discharge Pressure if every thing OK now Inform DCS Operator to Open Discharge Vale, then open it Gradually. I hope these can help you....

How to Reset windows on a 1997 range rover?

3 different ways of doing the same thing when you replace the battery To reset the windows, you need to open them fully then as quick as you can, press the close until it's fully closed again. Keep hold of the close button until you hear a beep and get a Window Set message. You might need to try it a couple of times before you get it right. When you have changed your battery you are likely to get a sunroof not set message tooTo set the roof open fully, close fully, tilt up, tilt down, open fully close fully - all in a smooth seamless operation - if you have done it correctly message centre will beep and show sunroof set on the last closing stageAs with the windows you may have to do it several times to get it right - I find the easiest way with the windows is just to open/close fully twice as one smooth operation and on the second up you will get a beep and window set message showing The window autodown or up feature will no longer work. also when you go to move the windows up, the message center will beep and say which window you are raising and say WINDOW NOT SET, to change this you need to fully open the window, then fully close the window. then the message center will say which window and WINDOW SET, the auto function for that window works. You need to repeat this for the other windows. The sunroof also needs to be programmed. The Process for this is fully open the sunroof, then fully close it, fully tilt it, and fully close it again. This needs to be done with almost no delay time in pressing the switch in the opposite direction. When doing the Sunroof , the message center will say SUNROOF NOT SET. once you are closing it from the tilt position it will say SUNROOF SET.
