Assembly
(You will need a screwdriver).
1. Carefully remove all components from the package and check to ensure nothing is damaged.
If equipment is damaged, immediately notify the retailer from where the equipment was purchased.
2. The sand filter should be placed on solid, level ground, preferably a concrete slab. Position
the sand filter so the Ports and Control Valve are accessible for operation, servicing and winterizing.
3. IEC60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the sand filter to be vertically fixed on ground or a
certain pedestal made of wood or concrete before use to prevent the sand filter from
accideutally falling. Fully assembled sand filter will exceed 18kg. The mounting holes should
be 8mm in diameter and spaced 285mm apart. Use two bolts and nuts with a maximum of
8mm in diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal.
285mm
Ø 8mm
Load pool-grade filter sand.
NOTE:
Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay: #20 Silica sand 0.45-0.85mm, approximately one
8.5kg bag should suffice. If you do not use the recommended size filter sand, filtering performance will be reduced and the sand filter may damaged, thereby voiding warranty.
NOTE:
To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour some water into the Bottom Tank to submerse the Skimmer on the Collector Hub.

NOTE:
• Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet applicable local, state or national codes. Do not discharge water
where it will cause flooding or damage.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position, water will discharge from Port D on the
Control Valve.
• Do not switch on or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to the Closed function or it will seriously damage
the sand filter.
• Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port D before operating the sand filter.
Air Release
Press down the control valve handle and wait untill the water flow from Port D to release the air.
NOTE: It is important to repeat this operation every time you start the pump after winterizing, maintenance and backwashing the sand bed.
FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS
Backwash and Rinsing must be performed to prepare the pump for its first use and to wash the sand.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER
1. Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to the Backwash function.
2. Plug in and run the sand filter for 3-5 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
3. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
Backwash Rinsing
4. Switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates water backwards through the sand filter and drains water out Port D.
5. Switch off the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
6. Top up pool water if required.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water from the pool, which you’ll need to replace.
Switch off the sand filter immediately if water levels near the pool’s Inlet and Outlet valves.
1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the Control Valve to the Filter
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock dry any excess water from yourself and the sand filter.
2. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE: The sand filter has now started its filtering cycle. Check that water is returning to the pool and take note of the filter pressure on Pressure Gauge.
Generally, the recommended sand filter pressure is less than 0.25Bar (3.5PSI)when it is running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged before any maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or death exists. As dirt builds up in the sand filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge will increase. When the Pressure Gauge is 0.25Bar (3.5PSI) or higher, or water flow to the pool is too low, it is time to clean the sand. To clean the sand bed, follow all instructions outlined previously in : Backwash and Rinsing.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for maintenance purpose only, and the pressure gauge value is just for reference, it should not be used as a precision instrument.
NOTE: We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or less regularly depending on how often the pool is used. Do not clean the sand too frequently.
