Assembly
(You will need a screwdriver.)
1.
Carefully remove all components from the
package and check to ensure nothing is
damaged. If equipment is damaged,
immediately notify the retailer from where
the equipment was purchased.
2.
The sand filter should be placed on solid,
level ground, preferably a concrete slab.
Position the sand filter so the Ports and
Control Valve are accessible for operation,
servicing and winterizing.
Load pool-grade filter sand/Flowclear™
Polysphere.
NOTE:
Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or
clay: #20 Silica sand 0.45-0.85 mm, approximately one 9 kg bag should
suffice. If you do not use the recommended size of filter sand, filtering
performance will be reduced and the sand filter may damaged, thereby
voiding the warranty.
IMPORTANT:
We suggest using #20 silica sand with your
pool sand filter. It is specially graded to trap particles in the 20 - 100 micron
range.
Some small debris can pass throw the sand and back into the pool. This is
normal, especially if the debris is fine or silt.
To limit this, it is better to follow the maintenance instructions, and backwash
and rinse when necessary.
We also suggest contacting your pool dealer for the chemical product
specifically made to clean the sand. The correct maintenance of the sand will
optimize the cleaning efficiency and avoid accumulation of oils or scale.
When you are vacuuming the bottom of the pool that has a large amount of
debris, we suggest to backwash the sand when you finish cleaning half of the
pool.
Remember to backwash and rinse the sand after vacuuming the bottom of the
pool each time.
NOTE:
To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour
some water into the Bottom Tank to submerse the Skimmer on the Hub.
NOTE:
Sand/Flowclear™ Polysphere not included
.
NOTE:
Use 28 g (0.06 lb) Flowclear™ Polysphere to replace
1 kg (2.2 lb) sand.
3.
The sand filter must be vertically fixed on ground or a certain pedestal
made of wood or concrete before use to prevent the sand filter from
accidentally falling. Fully assembled sand filter will exceed 18 kg. The
mounting holes should be 8 mm in diameter and spaced 86 mm apart.
Use two bolts and nuts with a maximum of 8 mm in diameter to fasten the
sand filter to the pedestal.
