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 filter or circulate function.
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 function.
NOTE:
To prevent the risk of electrical shock dry any excess water from yourself and the sand filter.
2.
Swith on the sand filter, press the “RESET” button to run it.
NOTE: when it is running.
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 0.45Bar (6.5PSI)
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: 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 0.45Bar (6.5PSI) 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.
You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged before any maintenance begins or
NOTE:
1.
The Pressure Gauge is just used for measuring the water pressure, not used for precision measurement.
2.
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.
Cleaning the Strainer
1.
Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
2.
Replace the Debris Screens with Stopper Plugs to prevent water from escaping.
3.
Remove the Strainer Cover by unscrewing it.
4.
Take out the Strainer, remove any debris.
5.
Put the Strainer back into position. Ensure the hole in the strainer is aligned.
6.
Ensure the Seal Ring is in place. Secure the Strainer Cover back.
7. Remove the Stopper Plugs and insert the Debris Screens
NOTE:
The Strainer must be emptied and cleaned periodically. A dirty or blocked strainer will reduce the performance of the sand filter.
7
Lowering or Draining Pool Water
1.
Switch off the sand filter and set Control Valve to the Drain function.
2.

3.
Switch on the sand filter and press the “RESET” button to run the filter and remove the pool water.
WARNING:
DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER.
Winterizing
In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, pool equipment must be winterized to protect against damage. Allowing water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void warranty.
1.
Backwash the sand filter.
2.
Drain the pool according to the pool owner’s manual.
3.
Unscrew the drain valve cap at the bottom of the tank and release the remaining water.
4.
Disconnect the two Hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
5.
Completely pour the sand out of the tank and dry all components.
6.
