Water Pump Assembly

1 .   Secure the water pump to the base plate with the provided pump mounting hardware .  

See Figure 1 . 

2 .   Screw the 1¼”-1½” hose connector into the center port of the water pump . Ensure that  

O-Ring A (2¼” dia) is installed between the port and the connector . 

3 .   Remove the threaded ring (collar) on the outer opening of the pump .
4 .   Place O-Ring B (3" dia) in the groove around the hair and lint strainer basket .
5 .   Place the transparent hair & lint strainer cover in place and then screw the threaded ring  

(collar) back on securely over the cover .

6 .   Insert O-Ring C (1½" dia) inside the outward facing opening of the transparent hair & lint 

strainer cover . Then attach the hose connector to the strainer cover . See Figure 2 .

7 .   Place the base plate and pump in your selected site where the Pool Filter System will be  

located for normal operation . This site should be within the reach of the pool filter and 

return hoses but no closer than 10 feet to the pool (see Section 1, Safety Warnings) .

Filter Tank Assembly

1 .   Installing the drain valve . See Figure 3 .

a .  Install one gasket onto the main body of the drain valve . Place this valve through  

the drain hole in the bottom of the filter . 

b .  Place the other gasket on the outside of the tank onto the main body and secure  

it with the plastic collar .  

c .  Install the drain cap for the valve and ensure all of the components are tight . 

2 .   Installing the manifold assembly . See Figure 4 . 

a .  Assemble the manifold, manifold tube and manifold fingers . The fingers are keyed  

and twist into place . NOTE: The manifold fingers need to be assembled INSIDE the  

tank . Otherwise the assembled manifold cannot be placed inside the tank . 

3 .   Place the filter tank into the corresponding groove located in the filter base plate .  

See Figure 5 .

 4 .  Filling the filter tank with sand . 

Note: 

The filter pump assembly should be in its permanent location before 

filling the chamber with sand . Otherwise the unit will be too heavy  

and difficult to move around .

a .  Install the spigot on the mouth of the filter tank, making sure that the spigot is holding 

the manifold tube securely . This will ensure that when filling the tank, no sand will enter 

the manifold assembly . NOTE: The spigot is only used when adding sand to the tank . 

Remove the spigot after adding sand . 

b .  Carefully fill the filter tank with 125 lbs of No . 20 silica sand . 

cautiOn

Use breathing filter/mask approved for dust & sand and adequate  

eye protection while filling the tank. Avoid breathing in dust.

imPORtant

It is important to ensure that sand does not exceed the recommended quantity/weight.
