it is not necessary to power down the grandee when
checking filters. in fact you run a risk of air lock by doing this. your ozone air intake may be plugged or your circ pump may have air lock. anytime you turn the power back on to your grandee, wheather it be for draining or whatever, you must first turn on your 20 amp breaker in the sub-panel and listen and watch for your circ pump to fire up. run both jet pumps for a minute, move your diverters around to different jet menus and then after you know all the air has been purged from the equipment, turn on your 30 amp breaker. the 30 amp controls the heater and this procedure will help avoid air lock and heater hi-limit tripping. there is also a pumice filter on the bottom of your ozonator that may need to be cleaned
