gENERAL INFoRmAtIoN This manual provides information relating to the installation, utilization and maintenance of the Universal Pool Filter System. The pump included with the filtration system is a horizontal, self-priming centrifugal pump. For the pump to function correctly, the water temperature must not exceed 95°F/35°C. The filter included in the filtration system is equipped with a container drainage system, pressure gauge and built-in container components.
Sand & Initial Preparation The Universal Pool Filter System requires a specific type of sand (not included) for optimum operation: namely, Number 20 Silica Sand with a particle size of 0.45 mm - 0.55 mm. You can purchase this sand at most pool supply stores. While the sand will come packaged, it is important that the sand be cleaned prior to running the filter system in filtration mode (see Filter Operations, page 20).

Filter Location The Universal Pool Filter System needs to be located on a 2’ x 3’ completely level, hard surface lower than the pool’s water level and at least 10 feet away from the pool. The hard surface may be made of concrete, gravel, patio pavers, etc. Power Source Requirements The Universal Pool Filter System is equipped with a US standard electrical cord and plug which should only be connected to a power outlet protected by a qualified...
Filter Tank Assembly 1. Place the filter tank on the base plate as shown. The feet on the bottom of the filter tank fit within the holes provided on the base plate. 2. Insert the tank separator plate inside the main tank in the guides provided. The plate divides the tank into two compartments, the Filtered Water Chamber and the Sand Filter Chamber.

6. Connecting Filter Hose to the Tank Tank Intake a. First lightly lubricate the tank intake port (tank intake) on the tank cover with silicone based lubricant. b. Attach the loose end of the filter- pump hose to the tank intake port on the tank cover.
coNNEctINg thE FILtER SyStEm The next section outlines installation instructions for connecting the Universal Pool Filter System to your pool. Since the hoses utilized for filtration and return lines differ for various types of above-ground pools, the pool-filter connection section is broken down by pool hose size and type.

FILtER oPERAtIoNS Start Up Once the filter system has been properly assembled, the sand chamber filled with sand and the hoses connected, you may begin with filtration. However, we recommend that you clean and prepare the new sand that is in the sand chamber first.
NOTE: When the filter pump is properly connected to the power supply, the pump will begin to push the water through the bed of sand and out the backwash hose. In this process, water will be drained from your pool as it cleans the bed of sand within the tank. You may want to put a garden hose in the pool to add water in while the pump is pulling water out so that the water level does not go below the intake return ports.
Adding New Sand • P rotect bottom strainer while replacing or adding sand. Fill the tank with a foot of water and cover the water chamber to avoid getting sand inside. • S tart filter in rinse mode for 1 – 3 minutes after initial start up or after adding new sand. By doing this you can avoid blowing small particles and impurities from the new sand into your pool. If some debris 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.
