The strainer grid prevents large objects from jamming and/or damaging the filter pump. If
your pool has an inflatable top ring, install the strainer, nozzle and plunger valve before
inflating the pool liner top ring. The part numbers here onward refer to the parts depicted
in the Parts List section of this manual. To install, do the following:
1. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew
plunger valve union from the threaded
strainer connector (26) (see drawing 1).
Be careful not to lose the step rubber
washer (23). Place the plunger valve on
the ground in a safe place.
2. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the
strainer nut (24) from the threaded
connector (26). Leave the flat washer (25)
on the connector (26).
3. Install the strainer and plunger valve at the
lower position of pool outlet (marked "+").
From the inside of the pool liner insert the
connector (26) into one of the pre-cut holes
with the washer remaining on the
connector to be placed against the inside
of the liner wall.
4. Before assembly, lubricate the threads with
a petroleum jelly. With the flat side of the
strainer nut (24) facing the outside wall of
the liner in a clockwise motion screw the
strainer nut (24) back onto the threaded
connector (26) (see drawing 2).
5. Finger tighten the strainer nut (24) onto the
threaded connector (26).
6. Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make
sure the step washer (23) is in place.
7. In a clockwise motion screw the plunger
valve union back onto the threaded
connector (26) (see drawing 3).
8. In a clockwise motion turn the plunger
valve handle to close position. Ensure the
plunger valve is securely closed. This will
prevent water from flowing out during filling
of the pool (see drawing 4).

Page 15
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.
IMPORTANT: To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose)
first and then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open the air release
valves, wait until water starts to flow out of the air release valves, close air release
valves.
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. Switch on the pump (see drawing 30). 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: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to
remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand
media.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
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.
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.
Operating the system under “TIMER” mode or manually:
To operate the sand filter pump in “FILTER” mode under “TIMER” control:
A. Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table
(see drawing 31).
B. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “ ” position, the sand filter pump is now
filtering the water and will stop after the operating hours are completed. The built-in timer
will now operate for the number of hours selected at the same time each day.
C. Operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Follow step A – B.
To operate the sand filter pump manually (without the “TIMER” mode):
A. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “-” position, the sand filter pump is now
filtering the water.
B. To turn off the pump, press the switch to “O” position.

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 32).
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 33).
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).

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-ring (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.
