Position the filter pump assembly to the location you have dedicated
for its
operation
.
NOTE: Do this before you fill the chamber with sand
as the unit will become heavy and difficult to move around.
Check to ensure that the bottom strainer is correctly positioned.
Check to ensure that
the tank separator plate
is seated properly.
Fill the sand chamber half full with water.
Pour Quartz Sand with a particle size of 0,40 – 0,80mm into the SAND
FILTER CHAMBER being careful not to allow any sand to enter the
FILTERED WATER CHAMBER (see figure).
requires 15 kg of Quartz Sand with a particle size of 0,4 – 0,8mm.
Securing filter assembly (
Picture
7,8)
Ensure the main tank seal around the top of the filter tank is in good
condition and securely seated in the grove
.
Be sure grove is free of
sand
.
Locate the
upper distributor
and press it into the center hole located
under the tank cover.
Carefully place the
tank cover
onto the
filter tank
.
The tank cover
should be oriented so that the notch on the cover is aligned with the
matching tab on the filter tank – this ensures proper alignment.
Secure
tank cover
and
filter tank
with the
tank cover lock ring assem-
bly
and tighten with the knob and bolt.
Hooking up the hoses (Picture 9,10,11)
Connecting the filter system
This pool filter system is designed to connect to pools with standard
1¼ or 1½” diameter hose connectors.. If your pool has a hose con-
nector size and/or type different than described here, you may need
to purchase an adapter at your local pool supply store or hardware
retailer.
Since the hoses utilized for filtration and return lines differ for various
types of above-ground pools, the pool-filter connection section is bro-
ken down by pool hose size and type.
Before you begin to connect hoses to the filter and pump, make cer-
tain that no water can flow through the intake or return hoses con-
nected to the pool. Some pools have shut off valves in their intake and
return ports, others do not. If you do not have a shut off valve, block
the ports with a removable plug to prevent water from passing into
and through the hoses.
For Pools with 1¼” or 1½ “Diameter Unthreaded Hoses Picture 12,13
These instructions assume that the pool is already assembled with
hoses attached to the water intake and return ports on the pool.
Adapter installation
Screw the
1¼”-1
½” hose connector
into the
transparent hair & lint
strainer cover
.
Make certain that
flat gasket “A”
is in place before se-
curing.
Pool “Skimmer Hose” Attachment
Attach the hose coming from your
pool’s skimmer (outlet of pool) to
the
1¼”-1½” hose connector
extending from the
hair & lint
strainer
cover.
Secure with a
hose clamp.
Pool “Return Hose” Attachment
Lightly lubricate the pool return port on the tank cover with petroleum
jelly.
Attach the pool return hose (inlet of pool) to the pool return port on the
tank cover.
NOTE: Be careful not to secure return hose to the waste/backwash
port.
Secure with a hose clamp.
For Pools that use 2¼” Threaded Hose Connectors Picture 15-18
These instructions assume that the pool is already assembled with
hoses attached to the water intake and return ports on the pool.
Filter operations
Setting
Complete water flow/function
Filtern
Position 1
Picture 19
Function: Vacuum, regular pool filter action. This
is the setting the filter will be set to most of the
time
.
In this position, water is directed through the
top of the filter where it compresses and flattens
down the sand. Contaminants are trapped by the
sand as water makes it way to the bottom strainer,
out of the filter and back to the pool.
Rinse
Position 2
Picture 20
Function: Use after backwashing to clean the filter
bed
.
This should always be done immediately af-
ter backwashing, new sand addition or filter start-
up
.
In this position, water is directed to the top of
the tank where it flushes the valve while sending
water out the waste line.
Cirkulation
Position 3
Picture 21
Function: circulate water after chemical treat-
ment
.
This position is used during certain pool
cleanups and chemical treatments when you
don’t want the water contaminating the sand
.
In
this position, water is only directed through the
valve back to the pool and does not filter through
the sand.
Backwash
Position 4
Picture 22
Function: clean filter of captured debris
.
This is
the position needed to clean the filter/the sand
.
You’ll know it is time to backwash when the pres-
sure gauge rises 0,3 to 0,6 bar above what it nor-
mally reads when the filter is clean
.
In this posi-
tion, water is directed through the bottom strainer,
reversing the flow through the tank
.
This causes
the sand to separate and lift while releasing
trapped debris out the waste line.
Closed
Position 5
Picture 23
Function: Cleaning the hair and lint strainer. This
position stops the flow of water into the pump and
filter.
CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this po-
sition.
Purge/Drain
Position 6
Picture 24
Function: bypass the filter
.
This position is ideal
for vacuuming pools with large amounts of debris
or after an algae treatment
.
In this position, water
bypasses the filter and sends all the water and
contaminates out the waste line.
