Once in the filter, the water is circulated downwards 

through silica sand and suspended particles are retained. 

 

The filter sand needs to be washed at intervals to remove the particles it has 

retained backwash. 

 

This  is  achieved  by  reversing  the  flow  through  the  filter  and  directing  the 

water containing the dislodged particles to drain. 

 

When  the  filter  pressure  reaches  over  1.3  kg/cm²,  it  means  that  the  sand 

filter needs to be backwashed. 

 

Bearing  these  principles  in  mind,  the  following  installation  and  operation 

instructions should not represent any problem. 

                                                       

INSTALLATION 

 

The filter should be installed as close as possible to the swimming pool and 

preferably  at  a  level  of  0.50  metres  below  the  surface  of  the  water  in  the  

swimming pool. Make sure there is drainage available at the place where the 

filter is to be installed. 

 

IMPORTANT: Do not use an iron and hemp pipe for the selector valve 

connection, it is essential to use plastic accessories and TEFLON tape. Pipe 

terminals are available threaded fixing in 1 ½  and 2”. 

 

Always leave enough space around the filter in order to perform the necessary 

examinations and maintenance during the filter's life. 

 

ASSEMBLY 

 

Follow these indications for a correct assembly of the filter: 

 

 

1.- Place the filter on a horizontal and clean surface. 

 

2.- Place the filter in its final location.
