OPERATION
Your filtration system uses filtration sand designed to trap impurities from the pool water. The sand in the tank acts as the
filtration media. The pump draws in unfiltered pool water, which contains impurities in suspension and feeds it through the
multi-port control valve to the top of the sand in the filter. When the water flows through the sand, the impurities are trapped
and the filtered water then returns to the pool.
INSTALLATION (see figure 1 spare parts list) .
1.
Locating the filter: Find a clean, level spot. The top of the filter must be no more than 2 m above
the water level. Place the filter so that the piping, the valve (1), and the drain plug (7) are easy to
reach. This will make servicing and winterizing easier.
2.
Assembling the pump: Assemble the pump and its mount near the filter as indicated by the
manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Filling the filter. The sand is put in through the opening in the top of the filter.
a. Place the underdrain assembly (6) on the bottom of the tank and cover the opening in the top of the
tube with the sand shield (5) provided for this purpose. This prevents sand from entering the tube.
Make sure that the drain plug (7) is in place.
b. Half-fill the filter with water, then pour in the required quantity of sand (see Table II-on last page).
Check that the underdrain tube (6) remains straight. The surface of the sand should be leveled and
reach the middle of the filter.
c. Remove the sand shield (5).
4.
Assembling the valve: Place the valve (1), with its gasket (3), on the top of the filter.
a. Make sure that the "PUMP" outlet of the valve is toward the pump.
Then attach with the clamp (4).
b. Remove the black plastic screw on the side of the valve and replace
it with the pressure gauge (2). Screw in by hand without forcing.
c. Connect the "PUMP" outlet (P) of the valve to the top outlet of the
pump as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions
5.
Connecting the valve: Then connect the pipes from the pool (see
fig. 2) and from the skimmers (S) to the front port of the pump, on the
strainer side. Connect the discharge pipes to the valve port marked
"RETURN" (R), and the drain connection to the valve port marked
"WASTE" (W)
6.
Make the electrical connections: Follow the pump instructions
from the manufacturer.
7.
To avoid leaks: Make sure that the drain plug (7) is in place and that
all connections are secure.
START UP:
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS STOP THE PUMP BEFORE CHANGING POSITIONS OF THE MULTIPORT VALVE.
1.
Check that all connections are secure and that the filter contains the correct amount of sand.
2.
Set the valve to "BACKWASH". Always lower the handle before turning.
3.
Start the pump as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions. Check that water flows normally in
the circuit.
WARNING: All suction and discharge valves must be open when the pump is started.
Once the water flows smoothly, let the pump run for at least another 2 minutes. This backwash is
recommended to eliminate impurities from the filtration sand.
4.
Stop the pump and set the valve to "RINSE". Restart the pump and let it run until the water becomes
clear in the valve sight glass (about a minute).
5.
Stop the pump and set the valve to "FILTER". Restart the pump and filtering starts. Adjust the inlet
and outlet valves for the desired water flow.
6.
Note the pressure reading at startup and the position of the needle on the pressure gauge. As the
filter operates, impurities are retained and the pressure increases in the tank. When it exceeds the
initial pressure (clean filter) by 0.5 bars, the filter needs be backwashed.
Note 1: During initial clean-up of the pool water, it may be necessary to backwash the filter frequently due to
the possibility the new water contained a large quantity of impurities.
Note 2: Clean the pump strainer basket and skimmers regularly to ensure trouble free operation of your
filtration system.
