The strainer grid prevents large objects from jamming and/or damaging the
filter pump. f 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 "+").
rom 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. inger 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. Examine the plunger valve to see if the
handle is pushed fully down to the "0/1"
position. If not, then grasp the handle at
the top and push down turning the handle
in a clockwise direction until the plastic
protruding notch anchors in the "0/1"
position. This will prevent water from
flowing out during filling (see
drawings 4.1 & 4.2).

MPORTANT: Some countries, especially in the European community,
require the product to be secured to the ground or to a base in a
permanent upright position. Check your local authorities to determine if
there is a regulation in your area regarding above-the-ground swimming
pool filter-pumps. f yes, then the product can be mounted to a platform
using the two holes located in the base. See drawing 14.3.

MPORTANT: Use only No. 20 silica sand with particle size range 0.45 to 0.85
mm (0.018 to 0.033 inches) and a Uniformity Coefficient less than 1.75.
NOTE: Before loading the tank with sand, ensure the center pipe hub
assembly is securely in place at the bottom of the tank, and vertically
centered inside the tank.
1. Place the sand shield (6) over the top of the center pipe. Pour the sand into the
tank at a slow rate. (see drawing 15).
2. ill the tank approximately half way, remove the sand shield (6) from the top.
(see drawing 16).
3. Evenly distribute the sand inside the tank, then fill the tank with some water to
provide a cushioning effect when the remaining sand is poured in. This
prevents the center pipe hub (7) from excessive shock (see drawing 17).
Place the sand shield (6) back and continue to pour the sand into the tank.
4. Sand shall be filled between the “MAX” and “MIN” marked gauge on the center
pipe. Evenly spread and level out the sand by hand (see drawings 17 & 18).
5. Remove the sand shield (6).

nitial 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 (G CI) or residual current device (RCD).

CAUT ON
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never be
on when the valve is in the closed position. f the pump is operated with
the valve closed, explosive situation could exist.
1. Grasp plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, pull up until it
stops, and then turn it clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchor is in
the "0/1" position. Repeat for the second plunger valve. This opens the valves to
allow water to flow into the sand filter pump.
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 25 & 30).
MPORTANT: 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 31). 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.

5. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “RINSE” position (see
drawing 26).
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 “ ILTER” position (see
drawing 24).
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 “T MER” mode or manually:
To operate the sand filter pump in “F LTER” mode under “T MER” control:
A. Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table
(see drawing 32).
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. ollow step A – B.
To operate the sand filter pump manually (without the “T MER” 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.
