FILTER & PUMP COMBO
FSP300-4W
* Install filtration system including pump, filter tank and
multiport valve.
* The filter system should be installed as close as possibie to
the swimming pool and preferably at a level of 0.50
metres below the surface of the water in the swimming
pool. Make sure there is drainage available at the place
where the filter is to be installed.

* PUMP

1.Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump
and wiring.
2.Electrical Contractors Please Note: All 220V/60Hz pump
must be wired to the main power supply trough an
approved and correctly rated contractor.
3.Allow for gate valve in suction piping.
4.Pump suction and discharge connections have moulded
in thread stops, do not try to screw pipe in beyond these
stops.

* FILTER TANK and MULTIPORT VALVE

1.Loading the sand media. Filter sand media is loaded
through the top opening of the filter.
A. Loosen the plastic clamps from tank neck.
b.Cap internal pipe with plastic cap to prevent sand from
entering it.
c.We recommend filling 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
1. Be sure correct amount of filter media sand is in tank
and that all connections have been made and are
secure.
2. Depress control valve handle and rotate to BACKWASH
position. (To prevent damage to control valve seal,
always depress handle before turning.)
3. Prime and start pump. Never run pump dry! Running
pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and
flooding! Fill pump with water before starting motor.
(be sure all suction and return lines are open), allowing
the filter tank to fill with water. Once water is flowing
out of the waste line, run the pump for at least 1 minute.
The initial back-washing of the filter is recommended
to remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the
sand media.
4. Turn pump off and set valve to RINSE position. Start
pump and operate until water in sight glass is clear,
about 1/2 to 1 minute. Turn pump off and set valve to

tight.
FILTER position and restart pump. The filter is now operating
in the normal filter mode, filtering dirt particles from the
pool water.
5. Adjust pool suction and return valves to achieve desired
flow. Check system and filter for water leaks and tighten
connections, bolts, nuts, as required.
6. Note the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter is
clean. (It will vary from pool to pool depending upon the
pump and general piping system.) As the filter removes
dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulation
in the filter will cause the pressure to rise and flow to
diminish. When the pressure gauge reading is 1.5 bar,
higher than the initial "clean" pressure you noted, it is time
to backwash the filter (see BACKWASH under filter and
control valve functions).
NOTE: During initial clean-up of the pool water it may be
necessary to backwash frequently due to the unusually
heavy initial dirt load in the water.
