Before assembling the sand filter, take
a few minutes to become familiar with
all the sand filter parts.

(You will need a screwdriver.)
1. Carefully remove all components from the
package and check to ensure nothing is
damaged. If equipment is damaged,
immediately notify the retailer from where the
equipment was purchased.
2. The sand filter should be placed on solid, level
ground, preferably a concrete slab. Position the
sand filter so the Ports and Control Valve are accessible for
operation, servicing and winterizing.
3. The sand filter must be vertically fixed on ground or a certain
pedestal made of wood or concrete before use to prevent the sand
filter from accidental falling. Fully assembled sand filter will exceed
18 kg. The mounting holes should be 8 mm in diameter and spaced
285 mm apart. Use two bolts and nuts with a maximum of 8 mm in
diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal.
LOAD POOL-GRADE FILTER SAND/FLOWCLEAR™ POLYSPHERE.
NOTE: Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay:
#20 Silica sand 0.45-0.85 mm, approximately one 8.5 kg bag should suffice. If you do
not use the recommended size filter sand, filtering performance will be reduced and
the sand filter may damaged, thereby voiding warranty.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour some
water into the Bottom Tank to submerse the Skimmer on the Collector Hub.
NOTE: Sand/ Flowclear™ Polysphere not included.
NOTE: Use 28 g (0.06 lbs) Flowclear™ Polysphere to replace
1 kg (2.20 lbs) sand.

NOTE:
• Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet applicable local, state
or national codes. Do not discharge water where it will cause flooding or
damage.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position,
water will discharge from Port D on the Control Valve.
• Do not switch on or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to the
Closed function or it will seriously damage the sand filter.
• Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port D
before operating the sand filter.
AIR RELEASE
Press down the control valve handle and wait untill the water flow from
Port D to release the air.
NOTE: It is important to repeat this operation every time you start the
pump after winterizing, maintenance and backwashing the sand bed.

1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the
Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock
dry any excess water from yourself and the
sand filter.
2. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE: The sand filter has now started its filtering
cycle. Check that water is returning to the pool and take note of the filter
pressure on Pressure Gauge. Generally, the recommended sand filter
pressure is less than 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI) when it is running.
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand
filter is switched off and unplugged before any
maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or death
exists. As dirt builds up in the sand filter, the pressure
reading on Pressure Gauge will increase. When the
Pressure Gauge is 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI) or higher, or
water flow to the pool is too low, it is time to clean the
sand. To clean the sand bed, follow all instructions
outlined previously in: Backwash and Rinsing.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for maintenance purpose only, and the
pressure gauge value is just for reference, it should not be used as a precision
instrument.
NOTE: We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or less
regularly depending on how often the pool is used. Do not clean the sand too
frequently.
FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS
Backwash and Rinsing must be performed to prepare the pump for its first use and to wash
the sand.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER
1. Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to the Backwash function.
2. Plug in and run the sand filter for 3-5 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
3. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
4. Switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates water backwards
through the sand filter and drains water out Port D.
5. Switch off the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the
Closed function.
6. Top up pool water if required.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water
from the pool, which you’ll need to replace.
Switch off the sand filter immediately if water levels near the pool’s Inlet and Outlet valves.
