Section IV: Complete Sand Filter Installation
Connect the Second Hose
NOTE: It is imperative to check that the hydraulic
connectors are not obturated.
NOTE: Ensure the Control Valve is set to the Closed
function.
1. Detach the Hose from Port D.
2. Attach the Hose to the Control Valve's Port A; screw the threaded locking ring into position.
3. Connect the other end of Hose to the pool's Inlet A.
4. Remove the Stopper Plug from the pool's Inlet A and insert Debris Screen 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 one-two 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 backwashing the sand bed.
Section VI: Sand Filter Operation
1. 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.
2. Insert the plug into a suitable socket to run the
sand filter.
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
0.021MPa (3PSI) (in green area) when it is
running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must
ensure the sand filter is
unplugged before any
maintenance begins or
severe risk of injury or death
exists.
As dirt builds up in the sand
filter, the pressure reading on
Pressure Gauge will increase. When the Pressure
Gauge is 0.021MPa (3PSI) 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: 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
1. Unplug 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. Unplug 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. Plug-in the sand filter to remove pool water.
WARNING: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND
FILTER.
Winterizing
In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, pool equipment must be winterized to
protect against damage. Allowing water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void
warranty.
1. Backwash the sand filter as previously outlined in stection ll and section lll.
2. Drain the pool according to the pool owner's manual.
3. Disconnect the two Hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
4. Completely spill the sand out of the tank and dry all components.
5. Store the sand filter in a dry location out of child's reach.
