4.3 Fill With Sand

The proper type, amount and cleanliness of your filter
sand is critical to the proper function and longevity of
your equipment.

1. Make sure the filter is level on the equipment pad.
NOTE: Move the breather tube inside the tank on
top of the sand surface.
2. Prepare filter for sand.
Fill the filter 1/3 - 1/2 full of water before
a
adding sand.
• This will minimize any undue strain on the
laterals when adding sand.
Ensure stand pipe is seated at the bottom of
b
the filter tank.
Install the sand guard.

• The sand guard should completely cover the
pipe opening.
• Special care should be taken to avoid getting
filter sand into the stand pipe.
Using a small scoop, slowly and evenly add
d
sand to the filter.
• Be sure to allow the sand guard to fully drain
between each scoop to avoid spilling.
CAUTION
The Sand Guard must be used at
any time filter media is being
added to the filter. Failure to use
the Sand Guard may result in filter
media intrusion into the pool
and/or malfunction, damage or
