SAND FILTER MAINTENANCE
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.

1. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
2. Replace the Debris Screens with Stopper Plugs to prevent water from escaping.
3. Remove the Strainer Cover by unscrewing it.
4. Take out the Strainer, remove any debris.
5. Put the Strainer back into position. Ensure the hole in the strainer is aligned.
6. Ensure the Seal Ring is in place. Secure the Strainer Cover back.
7. Remove the Stopper Plugs and insert the Debris Screens.
NOTE: The Strainer must be emptied and cleaned periodically.
A dirty or blocked strainer will reduce the performance of the sand filter.
1. Switch off the sand filter and set Control Valve to the Drain function.
2. Detach the Hose from the pool’s Port A and sand filter Port A and attach to Port D.
NOTE: Remember to replace the Debris Screen with Stopper Plug to prevent water from escaping.
3. Switch on the sand filter and press the “RESET” button to run the filter and remove the pool water.
WARNING: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER.
In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, pool equipment must be winterized to protect against damage. Allowing
water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void warranty.
1. Backwash the sand filter.
2. Drain the pool according to the pool owner’s manual.
3. Disconnect the two Hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
4. Completely pour the sand out of the tank and dry all components.
5. Store the sand filter in a dry location out of child’s reach.

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.
