• Cut the plastic pipes with a saw and mitre block to
achieve a true 90 degree finish.
• Remove burs from the cut by running a knife blade
around the cut pipe.
• Trial fit all pipe and fittings before using cleaner or
glue. This “dry fitting” will save time in the long run,
assemble sections and fit it together dry to check
your work before making the final commitment and
gluing it together.
• Use a clean cloth and the provided pipe cleaner to
wipe both the pipe and the fitting surfaces which
will to glued. This removes dirt and grease.
• Coat both surfaces with the supplied pipe glue and
push fimly together, holding until set.
• On warm days the supplied glue sets very fast so
have all parts ready and be sure you have your
measurements and alignment correct.
• On threaded connections wrap a few turns of the
supplied PTFE tape around the male thread to
help form a water tight seal.
• Where possible install pipe and fittings resting on
the ground so if they are accidently trodden on
there is less chance of damage.
• On double union ball valves (red handle) note the
flow direction indicated by an arrow.
• Unpack the pump and filter set and assemble
according to its own supplied instructions.
• Decide on the filter position before filling with sand
as it will be heavy and difficult to move afterwards.
• Fill the filter tank with filter media as per its own
instructions.
• If you have optional heating equipment unpack
this and assemble as per its own supplied
instructions. Heaters are installed so that clean
water from the filter is pushed through them, e.g.
heating is installed “down stream” from the filter.

• To keep your swimming pool water clear and
healthy it needs to be filtered and treated with
chemicals. For details about chemical water
treatment please refer to the Wooden Pool
Operating and Maintenance Manual.
• Swimming pool water is drawn through the low
suction and skimmer into the pump. The pump
then pushes the water through the sand filter
where dirt is trapped. The water then passes
through any optional heating and back to the pool
via the inlet return.
• The pipe work kit supplied is generous so fitting
variations are possible to suit your exact
requirements. Extra pipe and fittings are available
from your dealer if you should need to install the
filtration at a greater distance from the pool.
• Valves are supplied so that the pool can be
isolated allowing routine maintenance without
draining the pool.
• The valves and pipe work must be arranged so it
is impossible to have all the flow through the low
suction. The high flow rate would create an
entrapment hazard which must be avoided.
