Sand Filtration System 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 filtered water is returned from the bottom of
the filter tank, through the Multi-Port Valve and back
through the piping system.

CHAPTER 3
: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
▲WARNING
This product should be installed and
serviced only by a qualified professional.
1. Put the filter tank on the base. Turn the filter tank to
the right to tighten it. Position the outlet drain plug
so it is facing outside for easy operation.
2. Before filling the filter media into the filter vessel, do
a visual check of the laterals. Look for broken or
loose laterals. Replace if necessary. The laterals of
side-mount valve sand filter are all installed.
3. Match the Raised Point of the laterals to Folding
Umbrella lateral holder, insert the laterals and turn
90º clockwise. Listen for a sound to confirm the
lateral is in place. Please refer to following picture.
4. Make sure the air release hose is running along
side the body of the lateral holder. One end of the
air release hose
MUST
be out of the sand.
DO
NOT
bury the air release hose in the sand.
5. To eliminate stress on the laterals, fill the filter
vessel with enough water to provide a cushioning
effect when the filter sand is poured in.
6. Use the clear clamshell cover to protect the filter
top mount and make sure the central stem pipe has
been fully covered.
7. Carefully pour the exact amount of sand into the
filter vessel (see sand filter tank label for amount
or chapter 9 of this manual). DO NOT allow sand
to go into the stem pipe. DO NOT damage the filter
top mount or it can cause a leak.
8. Put the O-Ring on the the top mount valve and
then connect the valve on the filter vessel. The
stem pipe should be straight and aligned with the
top mount valve. Tighten the flange clamp on the
valve.
NOTE
