OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand
have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD).
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never
be on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated
with the valve closed, explosive situation could exist.
1. Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves to allow water
to flow into the sand filter pump. With water flowing into sand filter pump, the water pressure will allow the air
trapped inside to escape from the air release valves (19). When all the air has escaped water will flow out of
the valves (19). When this occurs gently finger tighten the valves (19) in a clockwise direction.
IMPORTANT: To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve
(connected inlet hose) first and then the upper plunger valve
(connected outlet hose). Open the air release valves, wait until
water starts to flow out of the air release valves, close air release
valves.
2. Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not covered and
directed to a proper draining receptacle.
3. BACKWASH - Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and
turn it to the "BACKWASH" position (see drawings 26 & 31).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve, always
depress the valve handle before turning. Always switch off pump
before changing the 6-way valve position.
4. Switch on the pump (see drawing 32). Water is circulating backward
through the sand media and to waste/drain outlet.
Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed in the waste/drain
outlet or through the drain sediment window.
NOTE: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to remove
any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand media.
