STEP 3 (CONTINUED)

• Add lter grade sand (sold seperately) to the lter tank around the standpipe. The approximate amount of

sand necessary will vary based on the size of lter you purchased. See below for assistance.

18” Tank - 110 Lbs.

22” Tank - 220 Lbs.

26” Tank - 360 Lbs.

• Remove the plastic bag and ll the tank with water until the tank is lled right below the opening of the

standpipe.

STEP 4

NOTICE

You CANNOT pull the standpipe up to secure the valve. Pulling up can damage the laterals and

cause sand to get sent back with the water ow to the pool.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAND FILTER (CONT.)

• Locate the O-ring (G) on the bottom of the 6-way valve (C).

• Lubricate with the O-ring lube to ensure a proper seal on the tank.

• Push the O-ring against the lip of the valve. The O-ring MUST sit at

against the lip to protect from leaking at the valve. See Diagram 6.

• Clean off any sand or debris on the top lip of the lter and position the

valve over the opening of the standpipe.

• The valve will slide ONTO the standpipe when positioned properly in

the tank (as shown in Diagram 7). Push down rmly to make sure the

valve slides on all the way. The valve should now rest on the tank’s lip

and standpipe as displayed in Diagram 8.
