Fiberglass Sand Filter
Only a qualified service person should install the Triton Fiberglass Sand Filter. This filter is designed
and intended for use to filter water.
Introduction
The following general information describes how to install the Triton Fiberglass Sand Filter. This filter operates
under pressure and if assembled improperly or operated with air in the water circulation system, the top closure
can separate and result in an accident causing property damage or serious bodily injury. A warning label has
been affixed to the top of the filter and should not be removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace
if missing or illegible.
How the Filter works
The high rate sand filter is designed to operate for years with a minimum of maintenance and when installed,
operated and maintained in accordance with these instructions, it will provide years of trouble free operation.
Dirt is collected in the filter as the water flows through the control valve at the side of the filter and is directed
into the top bulkhead. Dirty water flows into the diffuser at the top of the tank and is directed downward into
the top surface of the filter sand bed. The dirt is collected in the sand bed and the clean water flows through the
laterals and lower piping at the bottom of the filter up into the lower bulkhead. The flow then goes into the control
valve at the side of the filter. Clean water is returned through the piping system into the pool.
The pressure will rise and the flow to the pool will be lowered as the dirt is collected in the filter. Eventually, the
filter will become so plugged with dirt that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. It is important
to know when to backwash the filter. Backwashing is discussed further under the subsequent sections of this guide.
Please note that a filter removes suspended matter and does not sanitize the pool. The pool water must be sanitized
and the water must be chemically balanced for sparkling clear water. Your filtration system should be designed to
meet your local health codes. As a minimum, you must be sure that your system will turn over the total volume
of water in your pool at least two to four times in a twenty-four hour period.
