ASSEMBLY
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 acces sible for
operation, servicing and winterizing.
3. EN60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the sand filter must be vertically fixed on
ground or a certain pedestal made of wood or concrete before use to prevent the
sand filter from accidentally falling. Fully assembled sand filter will exceed 18 kg.
The mounting holes should be 8 mm in diameter and spaced 86 mm apart. Use two bolts
and nuts with a maximum of 8 mm in diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal.
IMPORTANT: Do not place chlorine in the strainer to avoid damaging the sand filter.
NOTE: Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay: #20 Silica sand 0.45-0.85 mm, approximately one 45 kg bag
should suffice. If you do not use the recommended size of filter sand, filtering performance will be reduced and the sand filter may
damaged, thereby voiding the warranty.
IMPORTANT: We suggest using #20 silica sand with your pool sand filter. It is specially graded to trap particles in the 20 - 100 micron
range. Some small debris can pass throw the sand and back into the pool. This is normal, especially if the debris is fine or silt.
To limit this, it is better to follow the maintenance instructions, and backwash and rinse when necessary.
We also suggest contacting your pool dealer for the chemical product specifically made to clean the sand. The correct
maintenance of the sand will optimize the cleaning efficiency and avoid accumulation of oils or scale.
When you are vacuuming the bottom of the pool that has a large amount of debris, we suggest to backwash the sand when you
finish cleaning half of the pool.
Remember to backwash and rinse the sand after vacuuming the bottom of the pool each time.
NOTE:
NOTE: Sand/Polysphere™ Pool Filtration Balls not included.
NOTE: Use 28 g (0.06 lbs) Polysphere™ Pool Filtration Balls to replace 1 kg (2.20 lbs) sand.
