Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand
have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
CAUTION
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never be on when
the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated with the valve closed,
explosive situation could exist.
1. Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves
to allow water to flow into the sand filter pump. With water flowing into sand filter pump, the
water pressure will allow the air trapped inside to escape from the air release valves (19).
When all the air has escaped water will flow out of the valves (19). When this occurs gently
finger tighten the valves (19) in a clockwise direction.
2. Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not
covered and directed to a proper draining receptacle.
3. Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and turn
it to the “BACKWASH” position (see drawings 24 & 29).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve,
always depress the valve handle before turning.
Always switch off pump before changing the 6-way
valve position.
4. Press to switch on the system, and then press to set
the operating TIMER hours (see “Operating the system under TIMER mode or manually”
section for details). Water is circulating backward through the sand media and to waste/drain
outlet. Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed in the waste/drain outlet or through
the drain sediment window.
NOTE: If the LED display flashes “00”, the device is in stand-by mode and the pump will not
operate. The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities or fine
sand particles in the sand media.
5. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “RINSE” position (see drawing 25).
6. Switch on the pump and run the pump for about one minute to level out the sand bed after
backwashing the sand media.
7. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “FILTER” position (see drawing 23).
8. Switch on the pump. The system is now operating in the normal filtering mode. Run the pump
until the desired pool water clearance is obtained and no more than 12 hours per day. For the
initial startup, it is recommended setting the system to a longer TIMER operating hours or “FP”
for the pump to operate continuously without the TIMER.
9. Record the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter media is clean.
NOTE: During initial setup of the system, it may be necessary to backwash frequently due to
unusual heavy dirt present in the water and sand. After that, as the filter removes dirt and
impurities from the pool water, the accumulated dirt in the sand media will cause the pressure
to rise and the flow to diminish. If there is no vacuuming device attached to the system and
the pressure gauge reading is in the yellow zone it is time to backwash the sand media, see
“BACKWASH” under “initial startup and operation” section. Vacuuming device (i.e. Intex auto
pool cleaner) attached to the system may also cause the flow to diminish and the pressure to
rise. Remove any vacuuming device from the system and check if the pressure gauge
reading has dropped from the yellow zone to the green zone.
10.Monitor the pressure gauge reading, and check that the inlet and outlet openings are not
obstructed on a weekly basis. If the pressure gauge indicates yellow it is time to backwash
the filter media.

working 10 seconds later.
The sand filter pump is now filtering the water and will stop after the operating hours are
completed.
4. Readjust operating time if necessary:
The operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Press button until you hear a “beep”
to unlock the keypad and the current programmed time will flash. Repeat steps 2 to 3.
5. Stand-by/power saving mode:
•When the cycle ends, the LED display shows “00”. The system is
now in Stand-By mode. After 5 minutes the system goes into Power
Saving mode and the LED display shows “.”. The system will
automatically turn itself back on in 24 hours.
• While the system is in Power Saving mode, press any button and the
system will briefly display the programmed time and then “00”.
To view the TIMER preset hours:
While the pump is operating, press button, the display will briefly flash the preset hours for 10
seconds and then display back the remaining operating hours.
To operate the sand filter pump manually (without the “TIMER” mode):
1. To run the pump alone without the “Timer”, press button to turn
on the pump, then press button until the LED displays “FP”, this
indicates that the TIMER is off and the pump is now operating continuously.
2. To stop the pump, press button again.

MOTOR PRE-FILTER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure the filter pump is switched off, then disconnect the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
2. Turn both plunger valve handles fully clockwise until they stop. This closes the valve,
prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.
3. Release the pressure first by opening the sediment
release valve
(19) located on the lower side of the
pre-filter housing
(see drawing 30).
4. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the leaf trap
cover (14), then remove the basket (16) and leaf trap
o-ring
(15) from the pre-filter housing (see drawing 31).
5. Empty and flush the basket using a garden hose, may use a plastic brush to remove
deposits from the basket. Do not use metal brush.
6. Clean and rinse the inside of the pre-filter housing and the leaf trap O-ring with a garden
hose.
7. Reinstall the leaf trap O-ring, basket and leaf trap cover to the pre-filter housing.
8. Close the sediment release valve (19) back.

1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed towards
an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations for specific
directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Switch off the unit, and disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and remove the
strainers/plunger valves from the pool wall.
4. In a counter clockwise motion unscrew the drain valve cap (9) from the drain valve to thoroughly drain
the tank. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.
5. Disassemble the pump motor from the tank base.
6. Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7. Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• L-shape o-rings
(11 & 18).
• Pump hose O-rings (22).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (23).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (25).
8. Depress the 6-way valve handle and rotate so as to set the pointer on the valve top “N” position.
This allows the water to drain from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this inactive position.
9. It is best to place all dry pieces and pump motor in the original packaging for storage. To avoid
condensation or corrosion problem, do not cover or wrap pump motor with plastic bags.
10. Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature should be controlled,
between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
POOL CARE & CHEMICALS
• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper chemical control, your
filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions regarding the proper
use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and cannot be
overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required when filling the
pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives and extra
filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult your local swimming
pool supply store for instructions.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool and splash
water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of
grass may grow through the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various run times so as
to produce clean clear water.
LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
CAUTION
Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the chemical
manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.
CAUTION
Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty. If anti-freeze
solution is needed, use only propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not
damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage
plastic components in the system.
