Section II. Installation.
1. Read and understand all instructions before
attempting to install, operate or maintain your
pump and filter system. Due to the different mod-
els some instructions may not apply to your spe-
cific system or certain instructions may be dupli-
cated in other component manuals.
2. Provide space and lighting for routine mainte-
nance access. Locate the system close to the pool.
Do not mount electrical controls over the filter. One
needs to be able to stand clear of the filter when start-
ing the pump.
3. Remove all individual components from carton and
inspect for any visible damage. If carton or parts
are damaged contact seller or freight company.
4. At this point you need to move the filter into its
final position. The system must be placed on level
solid earth. The filter filled with sand and water
can weigh several hundred pounds.
5. Be certain to install the precise amount of filter sand
listed on your filter nameplate. You must use only
No. 20 standard silica sand having a uniformity
coefficient of 1.75 or less. No. 20 silica sand has a
particle size of .018-.022 inches (.45 to .55 mm).
Before pouring the sand into the filter, look inside
and check the lower underdrain for broken or loose
laterals (or fingers), which may have been acciden-
tally damaged by rough handling during shipment.
Replace any broken parts if necessary.
6. Install the sand guide in the top of the filter and fill
the tank about half full with water. Pour the sand
into the top of the filter at a slow rate so that the
weight of the sand does not damage the laterals.
After filling to the proper level, remove and dis-
card the sand guide. Wash away all sand around
the opening at the top of the tank.
7. Be sure top of filter is free of any sand or debris and
valve o-ring is in place on valve body. Install valve
so that the port locations are in the desired final posi-
tion. Valve ports are labeled with the location of
where they should be connected i.e. pump port
must go to pump discharge, waste port must go to
the waste line and return port must go to the pool
return.
8. Insure that the valve is firmly pushed into the top
of the tank and that the flange of the tank and the
flange of the valve are contacting each other. See
Diagram D.
9. The plastic clamp can now be installed. Place the
clamp half over the valve flange and the tank flange
as shown in diagram D. Insert the clamp screws and
nuts into the clamp making sure that the nuts are
located in the special hexagonal retainer slots on the
clamps.
WARNING
Blockage of suction fittings can cause severe or fatal injury
due to drowning. Small children using pool/spa equipment
must always have close adult supervision. To reduce the risk
of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless
they are closely supervised at all times.
