Important Do´s and Dont´s
DO:
 Be aware and make note of the filter pressure when the sand is
clean. Backwash when you see an increase of 0,3 – 0,6 bar on the
pressure gauge.
 Backwash long enough to get the job done right. Let the system
backwash until the water leaving the waste line is
backwashing can remove 200 – 1100 liter of water from your pool
so pay attention. Also, be aware of local codes regarding pool wa-
ter disposal as some communities outlaw drainage.
 Protect bottom strainer while replacing or adding sand. Fill the
tank with 20 – 30 cm of water and cover the water chamber to
avoid getting sand inside.
 Start filter in Backwash mode for approx. 3 minutes and then for
about 1 minute in the rinse mode before initial start up or after add-
ing new sand. By doing this you can avoid blowing small particles
and impurities from the new sand into your
from the new sand does go into your pool, vacuum it up with the
system in purge mode, otherwise you may keep sending it back to
the pool.
DONT'S:
 Move valve handle while the pump is running. It will damage the
valve and possibly other equipment as well.
 Backwash excessively. Sand filters operate more efficiently dur-
ing mid-cycle. Some level of debris in the sand bed actually helps
filtration and makes the filter more effective. Too much backwash-
ing will reduce efficiency.
 Vacuum the pool in backwash mode. You can plug up the strain-
er at the bottom of the filter which will result in inefficient operation.
Plus you may have to remove all of the sand to get it unclogged.
In start up
Once the filter system has been properly assembled, the sand
chamber filled with sand and the hoses connected as described
above, you may begin with filtration. However, we recommend that
you clean and prepare the new sand that is in the sand chamber

Do not plug the system in until advised to do so below.
1) Make certain the pump is not plugged in to a power supply.
2) Start with the valve in the 5 Closed position.
3) If you haven't done so already, fill your pool with
that the water level is at least 2,5 – 5 cm above the top of the hose
intake (Skimmer) and return ports in the pool.
4) Release the shut off valve at the intake port
pool. If you plugged the intake port (Skimmer), remove the plug to
allow the water to flow into the intake hose.
5) With the filter-pump system installed in a location level lower
than your pool's water level – water will automatically flow into the
pump-filter system.
6) Allow the filter tank to fill with water.
7) Check for leaks and make any necessary adjustments. Be-
cause of tolerances (in consequence of the production process), it
is possible that it may be necessary to use a Teflon tape addtition-
ally which has to be wrapped around the connections, before the
connection tube is fixed, in order to correct these tolerances.
8) Follow the backwash process described below.
Backwash Prozess
 S Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
 Attach backwash hose (not included) to backwash port.
 Place the Multi-Port Valve in the "4 - Backwash" position.
 Reconnect to power source.
 Run filter in BACKWASH mode until discharge water is clear.
 Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
 Place the Multi-Port Valve in the "2 - RINSE" position.
It is important that you read and follow the instructions on proper
power supply sources.
 Reconnect to power source.
 Allow filter to run for 60 seconds to remove any remaining residue
from pump and valve.
 Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
 Place the Multi-Port Valve in the "1 - Filtration" position.
 Reconnect to power source.
 Your filtration system is RUNNING and ready for further operation.
To winterize the system
1) Unplug the pump from the power source.
2) Close the shut off valves or block the flow of water at the
pool inlet and return ports.
3) Disconnect the filtration system from the pool, drain the
tank and hoses.
4) Place the handle on the central valve in position 7- 'Winter-
ize' to relieve the tension on the spring and internal valve
components.
5) Store the filter system in a location protected from frost and
severely cold temperatures.
