(Link by Clamp type Valves)
The filter uses special filter sand to remove dirt particles from pool water. The filter sand is loaded into the filter tank and functions as
a permanent dirt removing media. When the control valve is in the FILTER position, the pool water which contains suspended dirt
particles, is pumped through your piping system and is automatically directed by the patented filter control valve to the top of the filter
tank. As the pool water is pumped through the filter, dirt particles are trapped by the sand bed, and filtered out. The cleaned pool water is
returned from the bottom of the filter tank, through the control valve and back to the pool through the piping system. This entire sequence
is continuous and automatic. It provides for total recirculation of pool water through your filter and piping system.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to flow, and the flow diminishes. This means it is time to
clean your filter. With the control valve in the BACKWASH position, the water flow is automatically reversed through the filter so that it
is directed to the bottom of the tank, up through the sand, flushing the previously trapped dirt and debris out the waste line. Once the filter
is back-washed of dirt, set control valve to RINSE position and run pump for about 1/2 to 1 minute, and then set the control valve in the
FILTER position, to resume normal filtering.
NOTE: Turn pump off before changing valve position.
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe sealant for plastic adapters, are required to install and
service the filter.
1. The filter should be placed on a level concrete slab, very firm ground, or equivalent. The filter should be placed
in the right position so that the piping connections, control valve are convenient and accessible for operation and service.
2. Loading the sand media. Filter sand media is loaded through the top opening of the filter.
a. Loosen the flange clamp and remove filter control valve (if previously installed).
b. Cap internal pipe with plastic cap to prevent sand from entering it.
c. We recommend filling the tank approximately 1/2 way with water to provide a cushion effect when the filter
sand is poured in. This helps protect the under-drain laterals from excessive shock.
d. Carefully pour in correct amount and grade of filter sand. (Be sure center pipe remains centered in opening.)
Sand surface should be leveled and should come to about the middle of the filter tank. Remove plastic cap from
internal pipe.
