⚠ WARNING – Read and follow all instructions in this owner’s manual and on the equipment. Failure to follow instructions can cause injury.
⚠ WARNING – This document should be given to the owner of the swimming pool and must be kept by the owner in a safe place.
⚠ WARNING – The appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. This appliance should be kept out of the reach of children.
⚠ WARNING – Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
You have just become the owner of a sand filter, its base and its valve.

OPERATION

Your filtration system uses a special sand designed to trap impurities in the pool water. The sand is poured into the tank and acts as a permanent filtration system. The pump draws in the unfiltered pool water, which contains impurities in suspension, and feeds it to the multi-way control valve. When the water flows through the sand, the impurities are trapped there and the water that returns to your pool is filtered.

INSTALLATION

1. Filter location
   Provide a clean, level location The top of the filter must be no more than 1.5 m above the water level. Position the filter so that the pipes, valve and drain plug are easily accessible. Servicing and wintering will then be easier.

2. Pump assembly
   Attach the pump and its support to the filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3. SIDE filter (valve on the side, Fig. 1):
   Install the valve, taking care to ensure that the O-rings are correctly seated and screw in the nuts (14) by hand until the valve/filter assembly is airtight.
   Remove the cover (2) and fill the filter with water up to one third. Cover the diffuser (7) to prevent sand from entering it. Then fill the filter with the quantity of sand indicated (2/3 to 3/4 of the height) and remove the diffuser protection. Clean off any remaining sand and put the cover back in place (2). Connect the pipes to the valve. The pump must be connected to the “PUMP” input, the water return to the “RETURN” output and the drain to the “WASTE” output.

4. TOP filter (valve on the top, Fig. 2):
   Fill the filter with water up to one third. Cover the PVC tube to prevent sand from entering it. Fill the filter with the quantity of sand indicated (2/3 to 3/4 of the height) and remove the tube protection. Clean off any remaining sand and fit the valve, taking care to ensure that the O-ring is correctly seated in its housing. Connect the pipes to the valve. The pump must be connected to the “PUMP” input, the water return to the “RETURN” output and the drain to the “WASTE” output.

Note 1: Do not use force when screwing the connection end-pieces into the valve fittings.
Note 2: Cover the male threads with teflon tape.
Note 3: After filling the filter with sand, thoroughly clean the neck thread, the cover seal and its seat.
Note: We advise you to put a layer of gravel (grain size 3 to 5 mm) up to the level of the laterals (covering them) and then insert the filtering media up to 2/3 to 3/4 of the filter height. The layer of gravel ensures better drainage and facilitates backwashing.

STARTING UP

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS STOP THE PUMP BEFORE OPERATING THE MULTI-WAY VALVE.

1. Check that all connections are tight and that the filter contains just the right amount of sand.

2. Set the valve to “BACKWASH”. Always lower the handle before turning.

3. Start the pump as indicated by the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that water is flowing normally within the circuit.
   WARNING: All suction and discharge valves must be open when the pump is started. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to property, serious injury, or death.
   Once the water is flowing smoothly, let the pump run for at least another 2 minutes. This backwash is recommended to eliminate any impurities or fine particles from the filtering sand.

4. Stop the pump and set the valve to “RINSE”. Restart the pump and let it run until the water becomes clear in the valve circulation sightglass (about a minute).

5. Stop the pump and set the valve to “FILTER”. Restart the pump and filtering will start. Adjust the inlet and outlet valves for the desired water flow.

6. Carefully note the pressure reading at that time and the position of the needle on the pressure gauge. As the filter operates, impurities are retained and the pressure increases in the tank.
   When it exceeds the initial pressure (clean filter) by 10 PSI (0.7 bars or kg/cm²), the filter must be backwashed.
   Note 1: When your pool water is cleaned for the first time, it may be necessary to backwash the filter frequently: it is likely to contain a significant quantity of impurities.
   Note 2: Clean the strainers of the pump and skimmers regularly to ensure trouble-free operation of your filtration system.
   Note 3: Installations including heaters or cleaning systems with nozzles or tentacles protruding from the walls are highly sensitive to pressure surges because they operate at high pressure. The installer must do everything necessary to prevent pressure surges in the installation.

VALVE AND FILTER FUNCTIONS

FILTER
Set the valve to ‘‘Filter’’ for normal filtration (10 to 14 hours a day).
BACKWASH
For cleaning the filter when the filter pressure gauge rises 10 PSI (0.7 bars or kg/cm²) above start-up (clean) pressure.
Stop the pump, set the valve to “Backwash”. Run the pump until the water in the sight glass is clear. Stop the pump about 2 minutes later and set the valve to ‘‘Rinse’’.
RINSE
With the valve set to ‘‘Rinse’’, run the pump for about one minute. This evacuates the dirty backwash water to a drain, not the pool. Stop the pump, set back to ‘‘Filter’’, and restart.
WASTE
The water is discharged directly into the sewer without passing through the filter: to lower the pool water level and directly eliminate very dirty water when using the vacuum.
RECIRCULATE
The water bypasses the filter, for rapid dispersion of chemicals or for massive chlorination.
CLOSED
Cuts off circulation between the filter and the pump.
NEVER USE THIS POSITION WITH THE PUMP RUNNING.

WINTERIZING

1. Completely drain tank by unscrewing drain cap at base of filter tank. Leave cap off during winter.
2. Rotate and leave the valve handle set between any positions.
3. Drain and winterize pump according to pump instructions.
