NOTE:
• Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet
applicable local, state or national codes. Do not discharge
water where it will cause flooding or damage.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or
Drain position, water will discharge from Port D on the
Control Valve.
• Do not switch on or operate the sand filter with the Control
Valve set to the Closed function or it will seriously damage
the sand filter.
• Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it
will lead to leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the
Control Valve Port D before operating the sand filter.
AIR RELEASE

flow from Port D to release the air.
NOTE:
It is important to repeat this operation every time you
start the pump after winterizing, maintenance and backwashing
the sand bed.
FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS

and to wash the sand.
