ASSEMBLY
CONNECT TO THE POOL
1. Carefully remove all components from the package and check to ensure nothing
is damaged. If equipment is damaged, immediately notify the retailer from where
the equipment was purchased.
2. The sand filter should be placed on solid, level ground, preferably a concrete
slab. Position the sand filter so the Ports and Control Valve are accessible for
operation, servicing and winterizing.
3. The sand filter must be vertically fixed on ground or a certain pedestal made of
wood or concrete before use to prevent the sand filter from accidental falling.
Fully assembled sand filter will exceed 18 kg. The mounting holes should be
8 mm in diameter and spaced 285 mm apart. Use two bolts and nuts with a
maximum of 8 mm in diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal.
LOAD POOL-GRADE FILTER SAND/FLOWCLEAR™ POLYSPHERE.
NOTE: Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay: #20
Silica sand 0.45-0.85 mm, approximately one 8.5 kg bag should suffice. If you do
not use the recommended size filter sand, filtering performance will be reduced
and the sand filter may damaged, thereby voiding warranty.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour some water into the Bottom Tank to submerse the
Skimmer on the Collector Hub.
NOTE: Sand/Flowclear™ Polysphere not included.
NOTE: Use 28 g (0.06 lbs) Flowclear™ Polysphere to replace 1 kg (2.20 lbs) sand.

NOTE:
• Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet applicable local, state
or national codes. Do not discharge water where it will cause flooding or
damage.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position,
water will discharge from Port D on the Control Valve.
• Do not switch on or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to
the Closed function or it will seriously damage the sand filter.
•
Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, insert the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port
D before operating the sand filter.

CLEANING THE STRAINER
LOWERING OR DRAINING POOL WATER
STORAGE
FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS
Backwash and Rinsing must be performed to prepare the pump for its first use and to wash the sand.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER
1. Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to the Backwash function.
2. Plug in and run the sand filter for 3-5 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
3. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
4. Switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates
water backwards through the sand filter and drains water out Port D.
5. Switch off the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
6. Top up pool water if required.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water from the pool, which you’ll need to replace. Switch off the sand filter
immediately if water levels near the pool’s Inlet and Outlet valves.

CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged before
any maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or death exists. As dirt builds up in
the sand filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge will increase. When the
Pressure Gauge is 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI) or higher, or water flow to the pool is too low,
it is time to clean the sand. To clean the sand bed, follow all instructions outlined
previously in: Backwash and Rinsing.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for maintenance purpose only, and the pressure gauge
value is just for reference, it should not be used as a precision instrument.
NOTE: We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or less regularly
depending on how often the pool is used. Do not clean the sand too frequently.
1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock dry any excess water from yourself
and the sand filter.
2. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE: The sand filter has now started its filtering cycle. Check that water is
returning to the pool and take note of the filter pressure on Pressure Gauge.
Generally, the recommended sand filter pressure is less than 0.25 Bar (3.5 PSI)
when it is running.
