Instructions / Assembly

- 3 -
a. Loosen the flange clamp and remove the filter control valve (if
previously installed).
b. Cap the internal pipe with a plastic cap to prevent sand from entering
it.
c. We recommend a filling tank approximately 1/2way with water to
provide a cushion effect when the filter sand is poured in. This helps
protect the under-drain laterals from excessive shock.
d. Carefully pour in the correct amount and grade of filter sand. (Be sure
the center pipe remains centered in the opening.) The sand surface
should be leveled and should come to about the middle of the filter
tank. Remove the plastic cap from the internal pipe.
3.Assemble the filter control valve to the filter tank.
a. Insert the filter control valve (with O ring in place) into the tank neck,
taking care that the center pipe slips into the hole in the bottom of the
valve.
b. Place two plastic clamps around the valve flange and tank flange and
tighten just enough so that the valve may not be rotated on the tank for
final positioning.
c. Carefully screw the pressure gauge (with the O ring in place) into the
tapped hole in the valve body. Do not over-tighten.
d.Connect the pump to the control valve opening marked PUMP. After
connections are made, tighten valve flange clamps with a screwdriver,
tapping around clamp with a screwdriver handle to help seat valve
flange clamp.
4.Make a return to the pool pipe connection to the control valve opening
marked RETURN and complete other necessary plumbing connections,
suction lines to pump, waste, etc.
5.Make electrical connections to the pump per pump instructions.
6.To prevent water leakage, be sure all pipe connections are tight.
