Connecting The Filter System To The Pool - Swim & Fun Basic 3 Manual

Sandfiltersystem Basic 3
Diagram showing the inside of the filter tank when the lid has been removed.
The filter material is poured into the filter tank thus: Use 10-12 kg sand
The filter material consists of special quartz sand that has been rinsed, silted up and burnt. This filter
sand must be ordered separately. Alternately, zeolite or crushed glass can be used as filter material.
Seal the filter tank carefully. First, remove any grit and grime from the sealing jointing and grease the
seal with a bit of Vaseline. This extends its life.
Observe:
Make sure that there is no excess filter sand in the filter tank and that there is no sand in
the clean water storage tank as this can result in sand at the bottom of the swimming pool.
Position the filter lid on the back edge of the filter tank so that the grey pump connection on the 3-
way valve points forwards. Check that the lid is correctly sealed all the way round, that is, the
fastening point on the filter lid and the filter tank "lock tight" in front of the filter tank's clean water
chamber. Tighten the lid with the pressing ring and clamp.

Connecting the filter system to the pool

4.3
A pool hose is mounted on the pool's skimmer. The other end is mounted directly on to the pump's
suction connection. This hose transports the unclean pool water to the filtering system (Photo 1).
Another pool hose, which leads the cleansed water back to the pool, is attached between the filter
lid's connection "to pool" and the pool's input connection (Photo 2). A third hose can also be attached
to the filter lid (to drain) with the other end of it placed by an outflow (Photo 3). All three pool hoses
are attached with tightening straps. (Pool hoses and tightening straps are purchased separately.) Any
leakage in the connections can be remedied by using Teflon tape on the connections/threads.
