SYSTEM OVERVIEW

PRODUCT PART LIST

Before setting up the product, confirm all parts are included.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Install the system on a flat, sturdy surface. The motor requires air circulation for proper cooling. Do not install the pump near a vent. Two or more people are recommended for installation. Before beginning assembly, (i) turn off the pump and turn off all automatic controls; (ii) open the manual bleed valve; and (iii) wait for all pressure to release.

STEP ONE
Place the water pump (7) on the pump system base (8). Align the four waist holes on the motor brackets with the screw holes on the system base (see picture below), and screw into place (12).

CAUTION: For continued protection against possible electric shock this unit is to be mounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.

STEP TWO
Connect the pump system base (8) to the sand tank base (3), align the holes and screw into place (13)

STEP THREE
Place the sand filter tank (2) on the base.

STEP FOUR
Fold all the filter element tubes (5) up which are on the filter element tube assembly and put the filter element tube assembly (4) into the bottom of the tank.

STEP FIVE
Screw the pressure gauge (15) with O-ring (14) onto the six-way valve.

STEP SIX
Place the sand shield (10) over the PVC pipe to prevent sand from entering the pipe and pour the pool sand into the tank. Evenly distribute the sand until half full and add some water before pouring in the remaining sand until it is filled between the “MIN” and “MAX” marked scale lines on the pipe.

STEP SEVEN
Remove the sand shield (10) and level out the sand. Wash away all sand around the top edge of the tank. Install the O-ring (9) on the six-way valve, and then install the six-way valve (1) on the tank. The installation direction of the six-way valve (1) should be consistent with the picture below (the water inlet of the six-way valve and the water outlet of the pump should be on the same side).

STEP EIGHT
Install the sealing gaskets (16) on the two holes as seen below.

STEP NINE
Connect the water inlet of the six-way valve and the water outlet of the pump with the hose (17) and screw the connectors in clockwise with the nuts that are on the hose.

STEP TEN
Install the locking ring (6) to secure the six-way valve. Align the locking ring with the base of the six-way valve (see picture below) and secure with screws (11).

STEP 11 (Optional if using US PVC Flex Pipe)
If using US PVC flex pipe. Install fittings below (21) in the order listed into both the input from the pump and the outlet of the sand filter that goes to the pool. Then use primer and glue to fix the pipe to the fittings.

ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE

Note: If it has been a long time since using the system, unscrew the drain screw (see picture below) and drain the water out of the pump, before use.
