9.  To connect the pump to the base, use the screws  

  from  the  pump  hardware  pack.  Use  the  pump  

  manual to install the and operate the pump.

10. Adjust the valve position. The white pressure hose  

  connects to the pump output/input valve.

11. The other two connection ends of the valve connect  

  to the swimming pool and the drain outlet hose.

Installation Notes

1.  Make  sure  the  filter  is  worked  under  the  work  

  pressure and using a pressure control valve when  

  the system is using a booster pump.

2.  If the pump position is higher than the water level,  

  it requires to install the back water control valve.

3.  If the pump position is lower than the water level,  

  it requires installing an isolation valve.  

4.  Minimize  the  length  of  pipe  and  the  number  of  

  fittings to minimize friction loss to ensure maximum  

  efficiency.

5.  Connect all plumbing to the Multiport Valve taking  

  care that all joints are glued or tightened securely  

  to prevent leaking.

6.  To prevent breakage and damage to the pump and

  Multiport Valve, use only pipe sealants specifically  

  formulated for plastics.

7.  Ensure  solvents  are  not  excessively  applied  to  

  fittings as this could run into O-Rings and create  

  sealing problems.

8.  Do not over tighten fittings or adapters.

Installation of the Multiport Valve

Top  Mount  Sand  Filters  are  supplied  with  a  screw 

down

Multiport Valve. Supplied with the Multiport Valve are 

Flange clamp, screws and O-Ring.

1.  Screw the barrel unions onto the threaded ports on  

  the Multiport Valve.

2.  When  rotating  the  Multiport  Valve  into  position  

  on a Top Mount Filter, leave some leeway for better  

  alignment of plumbing.

3.  Once  the  Multiport  Valve  is  in  position  and  the  

  plumbing is aligned, apply the thread tape to the  

  barrel union thread.

4.  Using the roll of Teflon tape wrap the Teflon tape  

  around the thread (tail) of the barrel union in a clock  

  wise direction.

5.  Screw  the  barrel  union  into  the  thread  of  the  

  Multiport Valve and hand tighten. The barrel union  

  should be firmly threaded into the Multiport Valve  

  and there should be no play between the thread.

6.  Once you have done this tighten the barrel union  

  with an appropriate tool until it is tight.

7.  Repeat steps until all barrel unions are firmly onto  

  the Multiport Valve.

8. Glue the plumbing to the Barrel unions and allow  

  24  hours  for  glue  (solvent)  to  set  before  starting 

  the filter.

9.  Test  the  filter  and  check  for  leaks  around  the  

  threads. If leaking occurs disconnect plumbing and  

  repeat the steps 2 to 6 until the leak has stopped.

CHAPTER 4

: INITIAL STARTUP OF FILTER

Be sure correct amount of filter media is in tank and 

that all connections have been made and are secure.

1.  Depress  Multiport  Valve  handle  and  rotate  to  the  

  BACKWASH position. 

NOTE

To prevent damage  

  to control valve seal, always depress handle  

  before turning.

2.  Switch on the Pump. Open the Inlet Valve allowing  

  the  filter  tank  to  fill  with  water. 

CAUTION

All  

  suction and discharge valves must be open  

  when starting the pump. Failure to do so could  

  cause severe personal injury and/ or property  

 damage.

 

NOTE

If a pump is installed, switch the  

  pump on and off, instead of closing and opening  

  the Inlet Valve.

3.  Once water flow is steady out the waste line, run  

  the  pump  for  at  least  one  minute.  The  initial  

  backwashing  of  the  filter  is  recommended  to  

  remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the  

  filter media.

4.  Turn the pump off. Set the Multiport Valve to the  

  RINSE  position.  Switch  on  the  Pump.  Open  the  

  Inlet  Valve  until  water  in  sight  glass  is  clear  -  

  approximately 10 to 15 seconds.

5.  Switch off the Pump. Close the Inlet Valve, set the  

  Multiport Valve to the FILTER position and Switch  

  on  the  Pump.  Open  the  Inlet.  Your  filter  is  now  

  operating in the normal filter mode.

6.  Adjust  pool  suction  and  return  valves  to  achieve  

  desired flow. Check the plumbing and filter for water  

  leaks and tighten connections, bolts, and nuts, as  

  required. 

NOTE

During initial clean-up of the  

  pool water, it may be necessary to backwash  

  frequently due to the unusually heavy initial dirt  

  load in the water.

7.  Record  the  pressure  gauge  reading  (start  up  

  pressure)  during  initial  operation.  After  a  period  

  of time, the accumulated dirt and debris in the filter  

  causes a resistance to flow, and the flow diminishes.  

  The  pressure  will  start  to  rise  and  the  flow  of  

  water  will  start  diminishing.  When  the  pressure  

  gauge  reading  is  8-10  PSI  higher  than  the  

  initial  “Start  up”  pressure,  it  is  time  to  backwash  

  (clean)  the  filter  (see  Backwashing). 

NOTE

To  

  prevent unnecessary strain on piping system  

  and valving, always shut off the pump before  

  switching  filter  control  valve  position.  To  

  prevent  damage  to  the  pump  and  filter  and  

  for proper operation of they system, clean  

  pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
