Oper ation pr inciple -----------------------------------------------------------
The water will drain in the bottom of swimming pool（1），and the surface
of pool water will through (2) ，and flow to the relative valve（3）to
different pipe flow to the water pump（4). Water through the pump to flow
to the filter（5），and then return back to the returned port（6）back to the
swimming pool. That return port and will be set in the opposite of the
drain port. Filter is filtering the water to make water to recycle used as.
The filter, it is filtering water by the quartz sand inside. W hen water flow
on the sand. Then the sand will filter it by adsorption and precipitation of
suspended substances.
Once it is started filtration cycle, after a period of operation time. It is
necessary to clean the filter, otherwise it will be dirty and sand material
blockage, thereby preventing water go through.
Filter should be flushing when the it working pressure over 1.3kg/cm2.
The cleaning process is a reverse operation, reverse operation through the
filter in the water, Drainage the dirty material into the sewer.

I nstallation -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Filters should be installed near the pool as close as possible. It’s better 0.5
meters below the water surface and confirm the drainage pipe in advance.
Note: do not use iron or linen pipeline for Valve handle connection. It
must be used plastic parts(UPV C) or Teflon (Teflon), pipe threaded
diameter normally is 1½ inch and 2 inch sealing. You can buy the
accessories from your supplier or in your local market.
In the filter around to leave enough space for the check and necessary
maintenance
It should leave enough space around the filter for checking and necessary
maintaining conveniently.
Assemblage-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bellow method is the right way to assemble the filter;
1.Filters will be placed on the clean and flat ground;
2.Filter be fixed in the right location;
3.For the side mounted pool filter, it should assemble the valve handle. To
sure the right connection for the valve and filter.

0.8kg/cm2-11.4PI S: 1.3kg/cm2-18.5PSI :
Normal filter wor king pressure I n pressure Need to backwash
Backwash --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sand will adsorb suspend solid in water, then th
e
suspend solid will stay in the sand. The workin
g
pressure of filter will be increased . Until 1.3 ㎏/㎝2
,
mean the filter sand can’ t adsorb more suspend solid
.
Then it would be cleaned by bellow methods:
The valve handle will turn to “backwash” and then tur
n
on the valve. Turn on the water pump and keep workin
g
for 2 minutes. The dirty substance will drain into th
e
sewage through the backwash.

R ecirculate -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valve handle turn to the location as bellow picture show. The water
from water pump will flow to swimming pool without the filtration by
filter.
Waste -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If water can’t drain to sewage directly because the swimming pool
be equipped with the bottom drainage device. T hen it can use water pump
to emptying water. It must turn the valv
e
handle to “ waste” . W hen motor turn on
,
The drain valve should open completely
.
Because the pump suction is large. If
used pump to pumping water, it mus
t
keep the enough water in the hair collector and whole sewage.
Before the waste operate, it must make sure the skimmer valve and
clean valve in the closed status .

R inse ------------------------------------------
R inse is after filter flushing. Th
e
valve handle turn to the “filter” .
Filtering will be a little turbid in in a fe
w
seconds before. In order to avoid th
e
turbid water flow back to the swimmin
g
pool. There is a: “ R inse” , the operatio
n
is as bellow.
After brushing filter, turn to the valve to the “R inse” . A nd keep the
pump working last for 1 minute. Then turn off the pump. Turn the valve
to the “filtration “.
This setting will make sure the water in filter will drain into the sewage
directly.
C losed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is stopped the water from filter to pump. In the meantime, the
operation is opened the hair collector.

Start-up-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sand Filter need to clean itself after loading the sands. Methods as
bellow:
1. Make sure the valve to “ B ackwash”
2. Turn on the valve of the suction pipe of swimming pool, turn on the
pump, and R un for 4 minutes.
3. Turn off the pump, and turn the valve to “R inse” , and turn on the
pump for 1 minute . Then turn off the pump , to turn the valve to the
“Filter”
After the that, the filters can apply in swimming pool water recycle
filtration.
Notice: It must turn off the pump when you turn of the valve
position .
M aintiance--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forbid to clean the filter cover with any chemical solvent. Otherwise, It
will damage filter performance.
R eplace the accessories which it is broken.
Please make a necessary sand backwash depending on the instruction.
And suggest to replace the sand each 2-3year just depend on your water
quality.

Protection in W inter
In order to avoid the damage in winter. The protection as bellow:

Please open the lid of filter when the filter is not working. K eep
Ventilated, and turn the valve to "winter" position.
When you need to use the filter. Please fellow the instruction.

Otherwise it will make the pressure of filter increasing quickly.
And over the filter max working pressure.
Forbid to clean the filter cover with any chemical solvent. Otherwise, It
will damage filter performance.
It is not necessary to tight the nut too much after all the equipment
connected. Avoid to destroy some PV C accessories .
