1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the
Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE:
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
dry any excess water from yourself and the sand
filter.
2. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE:
The sand filter has now started its
filtering cycle. Check that water is returning to the pool and take
note of the filter pressure on Pressure Gauge. Generally, the
recommended sand filter pressure is less than 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI)
when it is running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter
is switched off and unplugged before any
maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or
death exists. As dirt builds up in the sand
filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge
will increase. When the Pressure Gauge is
0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI) or higher, or water flow to
the pool is too low, it is time to clean the sand. To clean the sand
bed, follow all instructions outlined previously in : Backwash and
Rinsing.
NOTE:
Pressure gauge is for maintenance purpose only, and the
pressure gauge value is just for reference, it should not be used as a
precision instrument.
NOTE:
We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or
less regularly depending on how often the pool is used. Do not clean
the sand too frequently.
