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.
1) SHORT INTEX® ADAPTER Installation
Screw the
short INTEX® adapter
into the transparent hair & lint
strainer cover on the water pump
.
Make certain that
flat gas
ket “A”
is in place before securing.
2)
Pool “Skimmer Hose” Attachment
Attach the pool skimmer hose (outlet of pool) to the
short INTEX®
adapter
.
Ensure that the
flat gasket “B”
is installed between the
short adapter
and the face of the hose before securing.
3) LONG INTEX® ADAPTER Installation
Insert
O-
ring “C”
inside
long INTEX® adapter.
Screw the
long
INTEX® adapter
onto the pool return port on the tank cover.
4)
Pool “Return Hose” Attachment
Screw the pool return hose (Inlet of pool) to the long INTEX® adapt-
er on the tank cover. Ensure that the flat gasket “B” is inserted be-
tween the long INTEX® adapter and the face of the hose before se-
curing
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 flat-
tens 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 fil-
ter bed
.
This should always be done immediately
after 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
.
Yo
u’ll know it is time to backwash when the
pressure gauge rises 0,3 to 0,6 bar above what it
normally reads when the filter is clean
.
In this
position, water is directed through the bottom
strainer, reversing the flow through the tank
.
This
causes the sand to separate and lift while releas-
ing 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
position.
Purge/Drain
Position 6
Picture 24
Function: bypass the filter
.
This position is ideal
for vacuuming pools with large amounts of de-
bris or after an algae treatment
.
In this position,
water bypasses the filter and sends all the water
and contaminates out the waste line.
Winterize
Position 7
Picture 25
Function: winterizing and storage
.
In this posi-
tion, the valve lever is between positions which
removes pressure from internal valve compo-
nents for winter (off-season) storage.
CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this
position.
Important Do´s and Dont´s
DO:
Be aware and make note of the filter pressure when the sand is
clean. Backwash when you see an increase of 0,3
– 0,6 bar on the
pressure gauge.
Backwash long enough to get the job done right. Let the system
backwash until the water leaving the waste line is clear
.
Note that
backwashing can remove 200
– 1100 liter of water from your pool
so pay attention
.
Also, be aware of local codes regarding pool wa-
ter disposal as some communities outlaw drainage.
P
rotect bottom strainer while replacing or adding sand. Fill the
tank with 20
– 30 cm of water and cover the water chamber to
avoid getting sand inside.
Start filter in Backwash mode for approx. 3 minutes and then for
about 1 minute in the rinse mode before initial start up or after add-
ing new sand
.
By doing this you can avoid blowing small particles
and impurities from the new sand into your pool
.
If some debris
from the new sand does go into your pool, vacuum it up with the
system in purge mode, otherwise you may keep sending it back to
the pool.
DONT‘S:
Move valve handle while the pump is running. It will damage the
valve and possibly other equipment as well.
Backwash excessively. Sand filters operate more efficiently dur-
ing mid-cycle. Some level of debris in the sand bed actually helps
filtration and makes the filter more effective. Too much backwash-
ing will reduce efficiency.
Vacuum the pool in backwash mode. You can plug up the strain-
er at the bottom of the filter which will result in inefficient operation.
Plus you may have to remove all of the sand to get it unclogged.
