8.
Position the control valve so that the ports are located as desired. The ports of the valve are
marked so that you will understand the spot that they must be connected to. The pump port
must lead to the pump discharge, the waste port to the waste line, the return port to the pool
return.
9.
Wipe the filter flange clean. Place the flange clamp around the tank and valve flange. Assemble
screws and nuts using a hexagon wrench and tighten the clamp screws. Then visually inspect
the valve, tank, and clamp to know if the joint is placed correctly.
Attention! High pressure!
Improper tank valve assembly can cause the valve to jump off
by itself, leading to serious damages and/or injuries!
10.
Wrap sealing tape for use on plastic tubes around the ¼″ male thread of the pressure gauge.
Thoroughly screw the pressure gauge into the ¼″ threaded opening of the valve body. Do not
tighten too much!
11.
Screw the hose adaptors into the control valve port marked “PUMP” and pump discharge port.
Wrap five turns of sealing tape around each adaptor. Connect the adaptors with a 1.5″ hose and
fix this with hose clamps.
12.
Make the return to pool pipe connection to the control valve opening marked “RETURN.” Com-
plete the other necessary connections: waste line, suction lines of the pump, etc.
13.
To prevent water leakage, make sure that the winter drain cap is securely in place and all
pipe/hose connections tight.
Attention!
Always keep safety labels in good conditions! Replace them if they are not
readable or missing!
Filter control valve functions
Name
Function/description
FILTER
Directs the water from the pump through the valve, then downwards
through the sand, back upwards through the standpipe to return port
control valve and back to the pool; for normal filtering and vacuuming
the pool water via the filter
BACKWASH
Directs the water from the pump through the valve, then downwards
through the standpipe, back upwards through the sand and out
through the waste port; for cleaning the filter by reversed flow
RINSE
Directs the water from the pump through the valve, then downwards
through the sand, back upwards through the standpipe and out
through the waste port; for start-up cleaning and resetting the filter
after backwashing
WASTE
Directs the water from the pump through the valve, then bypassing
the filter sand directly to the waste port; for vacuuming directly to
waste, lowering the water level, or draining the pool
CLOSE
No flow in this position – do not use during operation of the pump!
WINTER
Valve position with device winterised
Commissioning
1.
Clean a new pool first before filling in water. Too many or too large dirt particles might damage
the pump and filter.
2.
Make sure that all suction lines and WASTE lines are open to allow the water to flow freely from
the pool to the WASTE line. Set the control valve to the “BACKWASH” position.
3.
Check if the valve clamp is tight.
4.
Make sure that the pump strainer pot is filled with water. If no strainer pot is present, make sure
that the hose is filled with water. Tighten the lid of the pump. Prime and start the pump to allow
the filter tank to be filled with water.
