USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid water leakage, insert the Port D Cap (K) onto
the Control Valve Port D before operating the sand filter.
When the control valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse,
or Drain position, remove the Port D Cap (K), water will
discharge from the Control Valve Port D.
FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS
• Backwash and Rinse must be performed to prepare the pump for its first use and to wash the sand.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water from the pool, which
you'll need to replace. Switch off the sand filter immediately if the
water reaches the same level as the pool inlet or outlet valves.
• Run Backwash for 3-5 minutes and then run Rinse for 1 minute.
• Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the control valve to the
Filter function.
IMPORTANT: Before operation, make sure the tank is placed steadily on its base and connected correctly
to the pump.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged
before starting any maintenance or there is a severe risk of injury or death.
As dirt builds up in the sand filter, the pressure reading on the Pressure
Gauge will increase. When the Pressure Gauge is 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI) or
higher, it is time to clean the sand. To clean the sand bed, follow all
instructions outlined previously in: Backwash and Rinse.
NOTE: The pressure gauge is for maintenance purposes only, and
the pressure gauge value is just for reference. It should not be used
as a precision instrument.
NOTE: 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. 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.
Winterization
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 the warranty.
1. Backwash the sand filter.
2. Drain the pool according to the pool owner's manual.
3. Disconnect the two hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
4. Completely pour the sand out of the tank and dry all components.
5. Store the sand filter in a dry location out of child's reach.
