2. Insert the plug into a residual current device, then switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 3-5 minutes, or
until the water runs clear.
3. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
4. Switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates water backwards through the sand filter and
drains water out Port D.
5. Switch off the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
6. Top up pool water.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water from the pool, which you’ll need to replace. Switch off the sand filter
immediately if water levels near the pool’s Inlet and Outlet valves. Do not dry run the sand filter.
Section IV:
Complete Sand Filter Installation (7) Connect the Second Hose
NOTE: It is imperative to check that the hydraulic connectors are not closed.
NOTE: Ensure the Control Valve is set to the Closed function. Assembly
1. Detach the Hose from Port D.
2. Attach the Hose(25) to the Control Valve’s Port A; screw the threaded locking ring into position.
3. Connect the other end of Hose(25) to the pool’s Inlet A.
4. Remove the Stopper Plug from the pool’s Inlet A and insert Debris Screen(26) supplied with your kit .
5. With the Hose and the Debris Screen in position, secure and tighten the Hose Clamp.
NOTE: It is important to ensure all elements: Hose, Debris Screen and pool Inlet are properly aligned.
Section V: Air Release
1. Remove the cap from port D.
2. Set the Control Valve to the Drain function to release the air and wait 1-2 minutes or the water to flow from Port D.
3. Set the control valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: It is important to repeat this operation every time you start the pump after winterizing, maintenance and back-
washing the sand bed.
Section VI: Sand Filter Operation (8+9)
3. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock dry any excess water from yourself and the sand filter.
4. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE: The sand filter has now started its filtering cycle. Check that water is returning to the pool and take note of the
filter pressure on Pressure Gauge. Generally, the recommended sand filter pressure is less than 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI)when
it is running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged before any maintenance begins or severe risk of inju-
ry or death exists. As dirt builds up in the sand filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge will increase. When the Pressure
Gauge
is 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI) or higher, or water flow to the pool is too low, it is time to clean the sand. To clean the sand bed, follow all
instructions outlined previously in Section II and Section III: Backwash and Rinsing.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for maintenance purpose only, and the pressure gauge value is just for reference, it should not be used
as a precision instrument.
NOTE: We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or less regularly depending on how often the pool is used. Do not
clean the sand too frequently.
Cleaning the Strainer (10)
1. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
2. Replace the Debris Screens with Stopper Plugs to prevent water from escaping.
3. Remove the Strainer Cover by unscrewing it.
4. Take out the Strainer, remove any debris.
5. Put the Strainer back into position. Ensure the hole in the strainer is aligned.
6. Ensure the Seal Ring is in place. Secure the Strainer Cover back.
7. Remove the Stopper Plugs and insert the Debris Screens.
NOTE: The Strainer must be emptied and cleaned periodically. A dirty or blocked strainer will reduce the performance of the
sand filter.
Lowering or Draining Pool Water
1. Switch off the sand filter and set Control Valve to the Drain function.
2. Detach the Hose from the pool’s Port A and sand filter Port A and attach to Port D.
NOTE: Remember to replace the Debris Screen with Stopper Plug to prevent water from escaping.
3. Switch on the sand filter and press the “RESET” button to run the filter and remove the pool water.
WARNING: do not dry run the sand filter.
