IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid or control valve to separate which may result in serious injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.

1. Before repositioning valves and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp or any other service of the circulating system:
   •  Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system is not inadvertently started during the servicing;
   •  Open manual air relief valve;
   •  Wait until all pressure is relieved, pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter clamp, follow the filter valve and clamp installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately (e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, relief valve, o-rings, etc.).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.

WARNING

Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing visibility in your pool and can allow diving into or on top of obscured objects, which can cause serious personal injury or drowning. This filter operates under pressure. With the valve clamped properly and operated without air in the system, this filter will operate in a safe manner. Air entering the filter and the valve not clamped correctly can cause the valve to separate, which could cause serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Always turn pump off before changing valve positions. Changing valve positions while the pump is running can damage the control valve, which may cause serious injury or property damage. Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause serious corrosion to the filter and pump structural components. Structurally weakened components can cause filter, pump or valve attachments to separate and could cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
High voltage can cause serious or fatal injury. Always install a suitable GFCI at the power source of this unit as an added safety precaution. Article 681-31 of the NEC requires that a GFCI be used if this pump is used with a storable pool.

Never work on the pump while it is running or power is still connected. High voltage can cause serious or fatal injury. A suitable ground fault interrupter should always be installed at the power supply source of this unit. Be sure to ground the motor before connecting to electrical AC power supply. Failure to ground the motor can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe line.

FOR CORD AND PLUG CONNECTED UNITS: Connect only to a ground type receptacle protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by GFCI. Do Not Bury Cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, Do Not Use an extension cord to connect unit to electrical supply; provide a properly located outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION / INSTALLATION

Always turn pump off before changing valve positions. Changing valve positions while the pump is running can damage the control valve, which may cause serious injury or property damage. Allowing water to freeze in the system will damage the system and cause potential water damage/flooding and potential property damage.

INSTALLATION

SAND FILTRATION WORKING PRINCIPLE
Incoming water from the piping system is automatically directed by the multi-port valve to the top of the filter bed. As the water is pumped through the filter sand, dirt and debris are trapped by the filter bed, and filtered out. The filter water is returned from the bottom of the filter tank., through the multi-port and back through the piping system .

PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION

1.  Position the filter as close to the swimming pool / spa as possible.
2.  The filter should be placed on a level, concrete slab, firm ground or equivalent.
3.  Position the filter near piping so that it is convenient for operating and servicing.
4.  Ensure that the compliance label is facing front to allow easy identification.
   1.  Pump needs screw and cover to install on the filter drain.
   2.  Press and turn the sand tank to mount it to the sand filter support with correct direction, drain plug on the outside (see below)
   3.  Insert the tube with diffuser body inside the tank as above picture shows, then place the funnel on the tank’s mouth and out the quartz sand into the tank. A 12” sand filter requires about 19kg of sand to fill the tank, a 14” sand filler needs about 27kg of sand to fill the tank.
   4.  Remove the funnel and make sure the tanl’s neck is clean. Put the O-ring on the valve and use clamp to fix the valve with the tank. Pump port valve direction needs to face pump’s out-port.
   5. Connect the sand tank to the pump with hose and hose adapters.

INSTALLATION NOTES
Make sure the filter has worked under work pressure and using a pressure control calve when the system is using a booster pump. If the pump position is higher than the water level, it requires installation of the back water control valve.If the pump position is higher than the water level, it requires installing an isolation valve. It can stop the water return back when doing the general inspection. Reduce the connection adapters and hose connection, bending as little as possible. Decreasing the water flow scrub can reach the maximum effectiveness Ensure solvents are not excessively applied to the fitting as this can run onto the O-ring and create sealing issues. Do not over tighten fittings or adapters.

HOW TO USE

1. Inspect all connections have been made and are secure.
2. Depress the top mount valve handle and rotate to BACKWASH position.
3. Prime and start pump according to the pump instructions.
4. Once water flows steadily out of the waste line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes. The initial back-washing of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities of fine sand.
5. Turn the pump off and set the valve to RINSE position. Start the pump and operate until water in the sight window is clear. Turn the pump off and set the valve to the FILTER position and restart the pump. Your filter is now operating in the normal filter mode, filtering particles from the pool water.
   1. NOTE: The initial pressure gauge reading when the filter is clean. As the filter removes the dirt and debris, the accumulation in the filter will cause the pressure to rise and flow to diminish. When the pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.55 – 0.69 BAR) higher than the initial “clean” pressure you noted, it is time to backwash the filter.
   2. IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary strain on the piping system and valving, always shut off the pump before switching the filter control valve position.

To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean the pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.

FILTER CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS

FILTER: Set valve to filter for normal filtering. Also use for regular vacuuming.
BACKWASH: For cleaning the filter. When the filter pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI (0.55 – 0.69 BAR) above start-up. Clean Pressure: Stop the pump, set valve to BACKWASH. Start the pump and backwash until the water in sight window is clear. Approximately 2 minutes or less depending on the dirt accumulation. Proceed to RINSE.
RINSE: After backwashing, with the pump off, set the valve to RINSE. Start pump and operate for about 1/2 – 1 minute. This ensures that the dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the filter to waste, preventing possible return to the pool. Stop the pump and set the valve to FILTER and start pump for normal filtering.
WASTE: To bypass the filter for draining or lowering the water level and for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
