CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this po-
sition.
Important Do´s and Dont´s
DO:
Ø
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.
Ø
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 water
disposal as some communities outlaw drainage.
Ø
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.
Ø
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
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:
Ø Move valve handle while the pump is running. It will damage the
valve and possibly other equipment as well.
Ø Backwash excessively. Sand filters operate more efficiently during
mid-cycle. Some level of debris in the sand bed actually helps filtra-
tion and makes the filter more effective. Too much backwashing will
reduce efficiency.
Ø Vacuum the pool in backwash mode. You can plug up the strainer
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 cham-
ber 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
sand prior to filtering your pool will remove most of the dust and tiny
sand particles that may exist in the
ing, these particles will end up in your
follow the instructions below.
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. Because
of tolerances (in consequence of the production process), it is pos-
sible that it may be necessary to use a Teflon tape addtitionally

Follow the backwash process described below.
Backwash Prozess
Ø S Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
Ø Attach backwash hose (not included) to backwash port.
Ø Place the Multi-Port Valve in the "4 - Backwash" position.
Ø Reconnect to power source.
Ø Run filter in BACKWASH mode until discharge water is clear.
Ø Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
Ø 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.
Ø Reconnect to power source.
Ø Allow filter to run for 60 seconds to remove any remaining residue
from pump and valve.
Ø Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
Ø Place the Multi-Port Valve in the "1 - Filtration" position.
Ø Reconnect to power source.
Ø 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- 'Win-
terize' 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.
storage shed is
recommended.
In a garage or insulated
