STEP 5

STEP 6

• The valve ports are labeled “RETURN”, “PUMP”, and “WASTE” with raised letters next to the openings.

• Cover the threads of each straight tting (J) with Teon

tape (K) and thread one tting into each of the

1-1/2” threaded openings on the valve.

• Attach a 6’ hose (M) to the bottom of the thru-wall skimmer and to the front of the pump with (2) hose clamps

(H).

• Clamp one end of a 3’ hose (L) to the top of the pump and the other end to the threaded ttings on the

“PUMP” port of the valve.

• Attach a second 6’ hose (M) to the tting on the “RETURN” port and secure the opposite end to the tting

on the pools return with a clamp.

• “WASTE” port will accept a standard tting and a backwash hose (sold seperately) which will be used during

maintenance.

• Check the drain plug (N) at the bottom of the lter to ensure that it is screwed on tight. See Diagram 9.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAND FILTER (CONT.)

• Once the valve is in place, hold the clamp (D) as shown and position

the clamp around the lip of the lter and over the edge of the valve.

• The clamp should sit at around the lip of the lter tank and the

bottom edge of the valve. If it is not sitting at, the clamp will leak.

• Make sure that the screws of the clamp are lined up with the seams

of the tank. Tighten two screws on the clamp: a little at a time.

Alternating from side to side so that both sides are tightened equally.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in leaking of the clamp.

• Cover the threads of the pressure gauge (I) with Teon

tape (K) and

thread into the open hole on the valve and hand tighten only.
