SAFETY ADVICE
LIST OF EQUIPMENT DELIVERED
• A Vitalia TOP or SIDE sand filter
• A full Side valve kit 1”1/2
• Installation and use instructions
THE PACKAGE MUST INCLUDE:
• This filter operates under high pressure. When a component in the filter cicuit (pump,
filter, valve, etc.) is disassembled for maintenance purposes, air may enter the filter and
can be pressurised. The pressurised air may blow out the filter cover and cause serious
injury or even death, or material damage.
• Switch the pump o prior to opening the filter.
• In order to avoid the pump sustaining damage and to ensure that the system operates
correctly, clean the prefilter and the skimmers regularly.
• When the temperature is low, we strongly recommend using the winter setting and
emptying all of the water contained in the filter out of the drain at the bottom.
• This equipment is not intended for use by people (particularly children) whose physical,
sensorial or intellectual capacities are in any way reduced or by people who lack
experience or knowledge, unless they are under the supervision of or have received
instructions regarding use of the appliance from a person who is responsible for their
safety.
• Ensure that children cannot play with the equipment.
THE FILTER OPERATES UNDER PRESSURE, DO NOT UNSCREW THE FACEPLATE OF THE
COVER WHILE FILTRATION IS UNDERWAY.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION
INSTALLATION
Install the filter on a flat and clean surface, making sure that there is easy access for
moving the valve, as well as for maintenance procedures.
PVC glue for the plastic pipe adaptors is required for installation of the filter.
The pump must be located below the water level of the pool. If this is not the case, ask
for advice from your installer.
Ensure that the 8 strainers are correctly clipped into their slots on the collector.
• Temporarily block the top part of the distributor tube in order to avoid filling it with
sand.
• Putting in the sand:
-Fill the tank 1/3 full of water in order to protect the strainers when the sand is put in.
-Make sure that the centre pipe is correctly centred in relation to the top hole.
-Pour in the sand slowly to avoid knocking the centre tube o centre.
-Check that the centre tube is in the right position.
-Pour in the remaining sand (See Technical information).
N.B: If you are using sand with dierent grain textures, make sure that the sand with
the largest grains is placed at the bottom of the tank.
-Unblock the centre pipe.
• Installing the valve:
-Using a Teflon, place the pressure gauge on the valve in place of the plastic screw.
-Place the O-ring on the Top joint.
-Clean the top face plate of the filter.
-Position the valve, checking that the “PUMP” channel is directed towards the pump.
-Place the two semi-flanges on either side of the valve, making sure that you place
the “screw imprints” on the opposite side. Make sure that you insert the face plates of
the valve into the flange correctly.
-Insert the screws and nuts as per the diagram and tighten the flange using a cross-
headed screwdriver. Screw the two screws in bit by bit alternately to ensure that they
are tightened evenly.
-Your valve is now solidly installed with the tank and is sure to be watertight.
• Connect the valve to the filter pump, to the drain and to the pool discharge.

INSTALLATION
Ensure that the 8 strainers are correctly clipped into their slots on the collector.
• Setting up the Side valve:
-Using a Teflon, place the pressure gauge on the valve in place of the plastic screw.
-Insert the plastic screws into the connections.
-Using a Teflon, screw the connectors onto the valve.
-Straight connection to the “Top” inlet of the Valve.
-Elbow connection to the threading located below the Valve.
-Place the O-rings in the tumbler of the wall conduits.
-Attach the valve to the tank by screwing in the screws on the wall conduits.
• Putting in the sand:
- Fill the tank 1/3 full of water in order to protect the strainers when the sand is put in.
- Pour in the first bag of sand slowly.
- Pour in the rest of the sand (See Technical information)
Check that the centre tube is in the right position. N.B: If you are using sand with
dierent grain textures, make sure that the sand with the largest grains is placed at
the bottom of the tank.
• Remove the plug.
• Screw the “diuser” part onto the top conduit.
• Installing the dome.
-Place the O-ring on the dome.
-Clean the top face plate of the filter to avoid having any sand under the joint.
-Place the two semi-flanges on either side of the dome, making sure that you place the
“screw imprints” on the opposite side. Make sure that you insert the face plates of the
dome into the flange correctly.
-Insert the screws and nuts as per the diagram and tighten the flange using a cross-
headed screwdriver. Screw the two screws in bit by bit alternately to ensure that
tightening is even.
• Connect the valve to the filter pump, to the drain and to the pool discharge.

INSTALLATION
START-UP
1 • Make sure that you have put the correct amount of filtering sand into the filter and
that all of the connectors are in place and attached.
2 • Press the handle of the 6-way valve and turn it to the BACKWASH position. (In order
to prevent the joint of the 6-way valve from being damaged, always press the
handle before turning it.)
3 • Prime and start up the pump by following the pump instructions (check that all of
the suction and return pipes are open), by letting the filter fill with water. Once water
starts to come out of the drainage pipe, let the pump operate for at least 1 minute.
We recommend carrying out an initial wash to eliminate impurities or fine particles of
sand.
4 • Switch the pump o and set the valve to the RINSE position. Start up the pump and
leave it to operate until the water in the indicator is clear for at least ½ to 1 minute.
Switch the pump o, set the valve to the FILTER position and start up the pump
again. The filter will now be operating in normal filtration mode, and it will filter out
fine particles of dirt from the pool.
5 • Set the suction and return valves of the pool in order to obtain the required flow rate.
Check that the system and the filter are not leaking and tighten the connectors, the
nuts and screws as shown.
6 • Take note of the initial value displayed on the pressure gauge when the filter is
clean. (It will vary from one pool to another depending on the pump and the general
pipework system). As the filter removes dirt and impurities, there will be a build-up
that leads to increased pressure and reduces the water flow. When the pressure on
the gauge reaches 1.5 bar above the initial value (when the filter was “clean”), this
means that it is time to clean the filter (see the BACKWASH section below).
Note: When the water from a pool is first cleaned, it may be necessary to wash the
filter more frequently due to the initial amount of dirt in the water.
