FILTRATION SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
Note: See 'Safety Information" Manual, Page 1.
As described in the manual, all components of the filtration system
should be placed to prevent a child to climb on top and get access
to the pool.
Using a little bit of stone dust (or sand), place at level a patio stone
61cm x 76 cm (24" x 30") before installing the motor and filter.
Position the motor on the stone and insert the two nozzles to con-
nect the hoses.
Then, install the filter tank. Adjust the lateral assembly properly in
its channel. It is sometimes necessary to install the laterals.
Patch the center hole of the lateral assembly using the plug to allow
filtering sand to flow into the tank.
Remove the plug. Install the joint in the cavity and secure the filter
head by placing the back wash position on opposite side of the pool.
Install necessary nozzles, then connect hoses using collars.
1. The first hose runs from the top of the pump to the side of the
filter head;
2. The second one goes from the pump to the skimmer (or to the
bottom drain valve);
3. The third goes from the front of the filter head to the water return
or from the front of the chlorinator to the water return.
A back wash hose may be placed behind the filter head.
If there is a chlorinator and/or heat pump, it must be assembled at
the filter exit.

DRAIN VALVE ASSEMBLY (if applicable)
Insert threaded nozzles, if applicable, in order to be able to screw
the valve in the skimmer.
Connect the drain hose to the bottom nozzle. Connect the motor
hose to the side nozzle.
The threads on all threaded nozzles must be covered with teflon
tape prior to installing in order to prevent water leaks. Teflon is ap-
plied to the threads as follows: little or none on the first few threads
(to facilitate introduction) and several layers towards the end threads
(for better watertightness).
