HOW IT WORKS
Your
Oasis Aquatics SFG Top Mount Fibreglass Media Filter
is designed to use the high-quality
filter elements such as Media or Glass to remove dirt particles from pool water. These elements are
specifically designed for your
Oasis Aquatics Media Filter
and if looked after will provide you with
years of trouble-free operation.
The pool water which contains dirt particles is pumped through your system to the filter. As pool water
passes through the filter, dirt particles will be caught by the filter element and removed from the water.
The cleaned pool water is returned back to the pool through your piping system. The entire process is
continuous and automatic. It is this process that provides the filtration and removal of organic material
such as dust, dirt and fine particles in your pool water.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to flow, reducing the pressure
in the tank and will reduce the flow of water through your filtration system. This means it is time to clean
your filter.
A good indication when to clean the filter element is by checking the pressure gauge reading.
Cleaning should be performed when you notice the pressure has increased by 10 PSI or 70 kPa from
when it was clean.
The cleaning procedure should be followed for best results.
YOU MUST ALWAYS TURN YOUR FILTER PUMP OFF BEFORE
CHANGING THE MULTIPORT CONTROL VALVE POSITION.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE ACCELERATED WEAR AND / OR
DAMAGE TO THE VALVE MECHANISM
