Filter Assembly and Filter Sand Loading
1) Install the Drain Valve (8) by placing one gasket on the inside of the Filter
Tank (5) and one on the outside of the tank. Carefully tighten the locking nut
with pliers as shown in Figure 8.
2) Place the tank on the Base Plate (9) in the location that it will be installed
and connected to the pool.
3) Place the Center Pipe/Basket assembly (6,7) into the center of the tank as
shown in Figure 9.
4) Place the Sand Funnel (13) over the Center Pipe (6), making sure the pipe is
resting in the bottom of the tank and is centered in the tank opening as
shown in Figure 10.
5) Fill the tank ~half way with water to act as a cushion for when the filter sand
is added.
6) Slowly add the appropriate amount of sand to the tank as listed on the
Specification Table.
7) Once the sand is loaded, remove the funnel and store in a secure area for
future use.
8)
Ensure the Valve Gasket (4) is installed on the 7 Position Valve (1) and fit the
valve over the Center Pipe (6), providing steady, even pressure for proper
seating of the valve as shown in Figure 11.
9) Rotate the valve so that the port marked PUMP is facing the Pump Motor
(15) and port marked RETURN is facing the pool.
10) Secure the valve to the tank using the Valve Clamp (3) and the Allen Key
supplied with the unit.
11) Remove the Valve Cap (2) and install the Gauge supplied with the unit,
using Teflon tape to prevent leaks. Do not over tighten the Gauge as
shown in Figure 12.
12) Connect the tank to the pump using the Filter Hose (10) and Hose Clamps
(11). Tighten using a flat-head screwdriver as shown in Figure 13.
