FUNCTION
The filter uses special filter sand to remove dirt particles from pool water.
The filter sand is loaded into the filer tank and functions as the permanent
dirt-removing media. When the control valve is in the FILTER position, the
pool water, which contains suspended dirt particles, is pumped through
your piping system and is automatically directed by the patented filter
control valve to the top of the filter tank. As the pool water is pumped
through the filter, dirt particles are trapped by the sand bed and filtered out.
The cleaned pool water is returned from the bottom of the filter tank,
through the control valve, and back to the pool through the piping system.
This entire sequence is continuous and automatic and provides for total
recirculation of pool water through your filter and piping System. After a
period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to flow,
and the flow diminishes. This means it is time to clean your filter. With the
control valve in the BACKWASH position, the water flow is automatically
reversed through the filter so that it is directed to the bottom of the tank, up
through the sand, flushing the previously trapped dirt and debris out the
waste line. Once the filter is back-washed of dirt, set the control valve to
RINSE position and run the pump for about 1/2 to 1 minute, and then to the
filter to resume normal filtering.
NOTE: Turn the pump off before changing the valve position.
INSTALLATION
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe sealant for plastic
adapters, are required to install and service the filter.
1.The filter should be placed on a level concrete slab, very firm ground, or
equivalent. Position the filter so that the piping connections and control
valve are convenient and accessible for operation and service.
2.Loading the sand media. Filter sand media is loaded through the top
opening of the filter.
