This manual provides information relating to the installation, utilization and
maintenance of the Universal Pool Filter System. The pump included with the
filtration system is a horizontal, self-priming centrifugal pump. For the pump to
function correctly, the water temperature must not exceed 95°F/35°C. The filter
included in the filtration system is equipped with a container drainage system,
pressure gauge and built-in container components. The filter container comes
ready to plug-in and is supplied with a user-friendly 7 Position Multi-Port Valve
integrated into the tank cover, an approved filter pump with hair and lint basket,
and a plastic base for ready on-site mounting.
How Sand Filtration Works
The Universal Pool Filter System is designed to use special silica sand to remove
dirt particles from pool water. Filter sand is loaded into the filter tank and functions
as a permanent dirt and debris removing media. Pool water, which contains dirt
particles, is pumped through the intake hose leading from the pool to the filter
tank and is directed by the filter control valve to the top of the filter tank. As water
is pumped through the filter sand, dirt particles are trapped by the bed of sand
and filtered out. The cleaned/filtered water is then returned from the bottom of the
filter tank, through the control valve and back to the pool through the return hose.
This sequence is continuous and automatic and provides total recirculation of pool
water through your filter and hose connections.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to
the flow of water and an increase in pump pressure (psi). When this happens, it is
time to clean (backwash) the filter. To backwash the system, you must change
the valve to the backwash position. When in backwash mode, the water flow is
automatically reversed through the filter so that it is direct to the bottom of the
tank, up through the sand, which flushes any trapped dirt and debris out through
the waste line. Once the filter is backwashed and cleaned of dirt, the control valve
should be moved into the rinse position to allow the sand to settle. After rinsing,
the filter valve should be changed back to the filtration position to resume
normal filtering.
Powering The Filter Pump
It should be noted that the Universal Pool filter System does not have an on/off
switch. Rather, power to the filter pump is connected and disconnected by means
of plugging in and unplugging the power cord from the power source. It is
important that you read and follow the instructions on proper power supply
sources (see Power Source Requirements, page 11) to avoid overloading the pump
motor and/or electric shock.
