Sand filter working principles :

• Valve Position and Water Flow Directions : 6 way valve has an arm with 6 positions which shows necessary operations to be chosen by user.Those positions ; filtration,washing reversely,rinsing,throwing into channel,directly,providing water circulation before enttering into filter,switching off the system
• FILTRATION: From pump, through valve, downward through filter sand bed, up through center pipe to valve return port, and back to the pool for normal filter action and vacuuming pool through filter.
• BACKWASH: From pump, through valve, down through center pipe, up through filter sand to valve, and out wasteport. This position is used for cleaning filter by reversing flow.
• RINSE: From pump, through valve, downward through filter sand, up through center pipe to valve and out waste port. This position is used for start up cleaning and resettling filter bed after backwashing.
• WASTE: From pump, through valve, bypasses filter and goes to wasteport. This position is for vacuuming directly to waste, lowering pool level, or draining pool.
• CLOSED : NO FLOW IN THIS POSITION – DO NOT USE THIS SETTING WITH PUMP OPERATING.
• RECIRCULATING : From pump, through valve, bypass filter and goes to return port and back to pool. This position is for circulating water without going through filter. Water cleaning is ensured by keeping dirt particles within water by passing water from sand filter which pump absorbs. Flocculation is performed by adding chemicals to the water or by other methods which increases the capability of filtering. Flocculation makes the particles tenable by combining the particles in smallness which sand never catch.That way the small particle sizes in the water decreases into 20 microns and even into less levels so pool water gains clarity As the cleaned water leaves dirts into filter,filter gets stuck and its pressure increases.In case pressure value that manometer reads increases 3 mss.,the filter must be cleaned as opposite side washing. Opposite side washing brings important benefit even if the filter pressure does not increase in the clean pool water by flowing process
• Tips to be considered during transportations:  Protect sand filter against hard strokes during transportation Carry sand filters in the direction shown by the arrows on their boxes so that water jet and inner installation of the filter doesn’t get any harm
• Warnings: Do not use it for purposes except usage classification It must be removed carefully ,since it will be classified as chemical solid waste after its usage life ends It must not be burnt and used as tank in which water or liquid flood is kept for a long while Quartz sand used in the filter is not harmful for human health

Information about usage faults: Filter must be placed as near to the swimming pool as possible.Filter must be assembled at leat 50 cm below the pool water level,preferably,since air collection inside the filter during water circulation may cause weakening of the circulation.One must be careful about that the waste water drainage exists in the pump section in which filter is assembled  Cautions must be taken to protect pump section from water flooding in case of impossibilitiesIt is importantly recommend that the sand type used in the filter must be quartz sand Particle sizes of both pad sand and filter sanda are given.It is also recommended that the sand types must be eliminated twice at least Do not switch on the pump when valve /valves of the filter is closed.Possible over pressure harms the filter. Do not connect the filter to the city water network or to air pressure tank circuit directly Mount the filter lid regularly.Do not tighten lid screws too much.Otherwise the lid and the O’ring for water leakproof will be deformed In case filter’s water pressure goes over working pressure described above,fullfill opposite washing in any case.The value on the pressure indicator will decrease Do not change the position of the valveas the pump works in any case Do not detach the valve under pressure

Information about assembly,switching and usage :

• Assembly instruction : Check the sand filter whether it was damaged during transportation especially to make sure about its inner equipment waterjets were not damaged
• Put the filter into horizontal,safe and clean place
• Assembly the filter and pump at a place which it will work ultimately in a sheltered, airy environment
• without humid and freezing threat
• Assembly filter/filters within gaps to be reached valves while placing
• Assembly installation pipes (prefer only PVC pipes used in drinking an usage water)
• Take care to use offset,T number in minimum amount not to increase pressure decrease as using calculated pipe in the correct size as well
• Place the manometer T,vacuuming screw,air relief cock,manometeras stated in the diagram.Teflon usage is not necessary,seperately,since,these accessories are tightened with water resistant gasket.
• Do not tighten manometer T with an instrument,since,manual determination will be satisfactory.

Placing sand :

• Fill in sand to filter in the amounts as much as is stated in Table 1 to get the best efficiency from your filter

This operation must be fulfilled in the following order :

• Take off the lid and its gasket
• Fill in the filter with sand after its pipe connections and inner controls is fullfiled in its ulitmate place
• Fill in the filter with water slowly.Observe whether there is any leakage while filling in
• Clean the place where lid gasket will be placed
• Fix the gasket and lid of the filter into its place.Tighten the screws mutually and with equal weight

Filtering operation

FILTRATION
FROM POOL TO THE FILTER AND TO THE POOL — SUCTION FROM POOL —– CLEAN WATER (TOWARD POOL)
IMPORTANT: Do not change the position of the valve in any case as the pump works
Pump is turned into 6 way valve’s arm filtration position as kept closed Pump is switched on Manometer must be controlled in specific intervals during this process,since it shows the saturation level of the filter.When the pressure value at the manometer is shown 0,3 kg/cm2 above its normal value ,back washing operation must be fullfilled
Back Washing: Sand within the filter ensures cleaning of water while catching particles during filtration.At that time the spaces among sand decreases the filtration speed of water while filling in course of time.Pressure increases for that reason.Since sand in the filter becomes not the collect the particles within water when it goes 0,3 kg/cm2 over good filtration limit its cleaning must be fullfilled as below 6 way valve is turned into back washing position.Bottom pool or balancing tank/skimmer valves are opened.It is paid attention that feeding valves are closed.Pump is switched on and clarifying of flowing dirty water is waited from the observation window.It is observed that water becomes clear around 3-5 min. Later and backwashing process and pump is stopped After that multiway valve is turned into rinsing position.Pump is switched on for 1-2 minutes.Thus sand is cleaned and again it becomes possible to return into normal working position anymore

BACKWASH
WHEN FILTER IS DIRTY
WHEN MANOMETER SHOWS YELLOW OR RED —– SUCTION FROM POOL —– DIRTY WATER (TOWARDS OUTLAY)

RECIRCULATION
In the cases which 6 way valve is turned into that position water coming from the pump goes to the pool without entering into filter and it completes its circulation by turning into pump again. Clearance of the pool walls and floor is ensured by putting some chemicals into pool water by this system
EMPTYING
It is a position used for sending swimming pool water directly into the main manhole quickly or emtying water into high level drainage system in case a natural ejector doesn’t exist.In this case 6 way valve must be in “waste” position
RINSING
After backwashing process is fulfilled , 6 way valve is turned into rinsing position against the possibility fort hat sand is partially dirty and that muddy water may go into the pool in the normal filter 6 way valve is turned into rinding position.Pump is switched on for around 1 minute.Rinsed water in this position will be sent to the manhole directly Valve is turned into “filter “ position again after pump is turned off

RINSING
WASHING THE SAND FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION FOR A PERFECT CLEANING ——— SUCTION FROM POOL ——-DIRTY WATER (TOWARDS OUTLAY)
CLOSED
This position is used for opening and repairing collector in the pump while cutting off water flowing from the filter to pump
INFORMATION ABOUT MAINTENANCE REPAIRMENT AND PRODUCT CLEANING CLEANING INSTRUCTION:
Filter must be cleaned when the pressure value goes over the value it must have (0,3 – 0,5 bar) Turn off the pump before beginning the cleaning of the filter Turn multi way valve into “back washing” position Turn on the pump Operate the pump until seeing clear water from the observation window on the multi way valve apprpx. 3 min

• Turn off the pump
• Turn multiway valve into “ rinse” position
• Turn off the pump after operating it around 1 min again
• Operate the pump again by turning multiway valve into “ filtration” position

MAINTENANCE

• Do not use solvent to clean filter cover
• Replace eroded pieces and gaskets all the time
• Fulfill backwashing and rinsing in accordance with the instructions
• Sand within the filter must be cleaned with cleaning chemicals once in a year.Sand must be cleaned completely in every 3 years
• Preparation for winter :
• Pay attention to the following subjects in order that filter isn’t damaged during winter
• Fulfill back washing and rinsing following the subjects mentioned in the Maintenance instructions
