HIGH RATE SAND FILTER
Your Sandmaster high rate sand lter is a high performance
totally corrosion-proof
characteristics and features with ease of operation. It
represents the very latest in high rate sand
technology. It is virtually foolproof in design and operation
and when installed, operated and maintained according to
instructions, your lter will produce clear, sparkling water
with only the least attention and care.
HOW IT WORKS
The Sandmaster uses special lter sand to remove dirt
particles from pool water. Sand is loaded into the lter tank
and functions as the permanent dirt removing media. The
pool water, which contains suspended dirt particles, is
pumped through your piping system and is automatically
directed by the patented lter control valve to the top of
the lter tank. As the pool water is pumped through the
lter sand, dirt particles are trapped by the sand bed, and
ltered out. The cleaned pool water is returned from the
bottom of the lter tank, through the control valve and
back to the pool through the piping system. This entire
sequence is continuous and automatic and provides for
total recirculation of pool water through your lter and
piping system. After a period of time the accumulated dirt
in the lter causes a resistance to ow, and the ow
diminishes. This means it is time to clean (backwash) your
lter. With the control valve in the backwash position, the
water ow is automatically reversed through the lter so
that it is directed to the bottom of the tank, up through the
sand, ushing the previously trapped dirt and debris out of
the waste line. Once the lter is backwashed (cleaned) of
dirt, the control valve is manually resequenced to Rinse,
and then Filter, to resume normal ltering.

INSTALLATION
ow
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe
sealant for plastic adapters, are required to install and/or
lter
service the lter.
1.

ground, or equivalent, as recommended by your pool
dealer. Position the
connections, control valve and winter drain are
convenient and accessible for operation, servicing and
winterizing.
2.
Assemble the Pump to the platform base. The exible
hose and adapters must now be installed to connect
the pump/ lter system.
a.
Screw straight adapter, using Te on pipe sealant
tape or Permatex No. 2, securely into 1 1/2" pump
discharge.
b.
Screw other straight adapter, using Te on pipe
sealant tape or Permatex No. 2, securely into
opening in control valve marked PUMP. (Do not
overtighten.)
STOP here and load media per instructions (No. 3).
c.
Place hose clamps on hose and
straight adapters and secure with clamps. If hose is
di cult to t over adapters, place hose in hot water
for several minutes.
NOTE: To prevent breakage and damage to pump and
control valve, use only pipe sealants speci cally formulated
for plastics. Do not overtighten ttings or adapters.
