Section III: Backwash and Rinsing
Backwash and Rinsing must be performed to prepare the pump for its first use and to wash the sand.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER
1. Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to the Backwash function.
2. Insert the plug into a residual current device, then switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 3-5
minutes, or until the water runs clear.
3. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
4. Switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates water backwards through the sand
filter and drains water out Port D.
5. Switch off the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
6. Top up pool water.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water from the pool, which you'll need to replace. Switch off the sand
filter immediately if water levels near the pool's Inlet and Outlet valves.
DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER.
Section IV: Complete Sand Filter Installation
Connect the Second Hose
NOTE: It is imperative to check that the hydraulic connectors are
not closed.
NOTE: Ensure the Control Valve is set to the Closed function.
Assembly
1. Detach the Hose from Port D.
2. Attach the Hose(25) to the Control Valve's Port A; screw the
threaded locking ring into position.
3. Connect the other end of Hose(25) to the pool's Inlet A.
4. Remove the Stopper Plug from the pool's Inlet A and insert
Debris Screen(26) supplied with your kit .
5. With the Hose and the Debris Screen in position, secure and tighten the Hose Clamp.
NOTE: It is important to ensure all elements: Hose, Debris Screen and pool Inlet are properly aligned.
Section V: Air Release
1. Remove the cap from port D.
2. Set the Control Valve to the Drain function to release the air and wait 1-2 minutes or the water to flow from
Port D.
3. Set the control valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: It is important to repeat this operation every time you start the pump after winterizing, maintenance and
backwashing the sand bed.
Section VI: Sand Filter Operation
1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock dry any excess water from yourself and the
sand filter.
2. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE: The sand filter has now started its filtering cycle. Check that water is returning to
the pool and take note of the filter pressure on Pressure Gauge. Generally, the
recommended sand filter pressure is less than 0.25Bar (3.5PSI)when it is running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged before any
maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or death exists. As dirt builds up in the sand
filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge will increase. When the Pressure Gauge
is 0.25Bar (3.5PSI) or higher, or water flow to the pool is too low, it is time to clean the
sand. To clean the sand bed, follow all instructions outlined previously in Section II
and Section III: Backwash and Rinsing.
