WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ AND
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• The pump is to be supplied by an isolating transformer or supplied
through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• The power source on the wall of building should keep more than
4m away from pool.
• The appliance must be supplied by earthed power source.
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - The pump cannot be using while
people are inside the pool. Forbid the access of the pool in case of
damage of the sand filter.
• DO NOT BURY CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn
mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
• Extension cords can’t be used.
• Risk of electric shock. Using the sand filter with an unmatched electrical
supply is dangerous and will permanently damage the sand filter.
• Do not remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in anyway.
Do not use adaptor plugs. Consult a qualified electrician for any
questions relating to validity of your plugs or grounding.
• Handle the sand filter with care. Do not pull or carry the sand filter

concrete slab. Position the sand filter so the Ports and
Control Valve are accessible for operation, servicing and
winterizing.
3. EN60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the sand filter to be
vertically fixed on ground or a certain pedestal made of wood
or concrete before use to prevent the sand filter from
accideutally falling. Fully assembled sand filter will exceed
18 kg. The mounting holes should be 8 mm in diameter and
spaced 86 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 9 kg bag
should suffice.
If you do not use the recommended size of filter sand, filtering
performance will be reduced and the sand filter may damaged,
thereby voiding the warranty.
IMPORTANT: We suggest using #20 silica sand with your pool sand
filter. It is specially graded to trap particles in the 20 - 100 micron
range.
Some small debris can pass throw the sand and back into the pool.
This is normal, especially if the debris is fine or silt.
To limit this, it is better to follow the maintenance instructions, and
backwash and rinse when necessary.
We also suggest contacting your pool dealer for the chemical
product specifically made to clean the sand. The correct
maintenance of the sand will optimize the cleaning efficiency and
avoid accumulation of oils or scale.
When you are vacuuming the bottom of the pool that has a large
amount of debris, we suggest to backwash the sand when you finish
cleaning half of the pool.
Remember to backwash and rinse the sand after vacuuming the
bottom of the pool each time.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour
some water into the Bottom Tank to submerse the Skimmer on the
Hub.
NOTE: Sand/Flowclear™ Polysphere not included.
NOTE: Use 28 g (0.06 lbs) Flowclear™ Polysphere to replace 1 kg
(2.20 lbs) sand.
