Sand Filtration System Working Principle
Incoming water from the piping system is automatically
directed by the Multi-Port Valve to the top of the lter
bed. As the water is pumped through the lter sand,
dirt and debris are trapped by the lter bed, and ltered
out. The ltered water is returned from the bottom of
the lter tank, through the Multi-Port Valve and back
through the piping system.

 servicedonlybyaqualiedprofessional.
1. Position the lter next to the Swimming Pool or Spa.
2. The lter should be placed on a level concrete
slab, very rm ground, or equivalent. Ensure that
the ground will not subside, preventing any strain
from the attached plumbing.
3. Position the lter so that the piping connections,
Multi-Port Valve and winter drain is convenient and
accessible for operation, servicing and winterizing.
4. Ensure that the compliance label is facing the

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
▲WARNING This product should be installed and
 servicedonlybyaqualiedprofessional.
1. Put the lter tank on the base. Turn the lter tank to
the right to tighten it. Position the outlet drain plug
so it is facing outside for easy operation.
2. Before lling the lter media into the lter vessel, do
a visual check of the laterals. Look for broken or
loose laterals. Replace if necessary. The laterals of
side-mount valve sand lter are all installed.
3. Match the Raised Point of the laterals to Folding
Umbrella lateral holder, insert the laterals and turn
90º clockwise. Listen for a sound to conrm the
lateral is in place. Please refer to following picture.
4. Make sure the air release hose is running along
side the body of the lateral holder. One end of the
air release hose MUST be out of the sand. DO
NOT bury the air release hose in the sand.
5. To eliminate stress on the laterals, ll the lter
vessel with enough water to provide a cushioning
effect when the lter sand is poured in.
6. Use the clear clamshell cover to protect the lter
top mount and make sure the central stem pipe has
been fully covered.
7. Carefully pour the exact amount of sand into the
lter vessel (see sand lter tank label for amount
or chapter 9 of this manual). DO NOT allow sand
to go into the stem pipe. DO NOT damage the lter
top mount or it can cause a leak.
8. Put the O-Ring on the the top mount valve and
then connect the valve on the lter vessel. The
stem pipe should be straight and aligned with the
top mount valve. Tighten the ange clamp on the
valve. NOTE: The ange clamp should be in place
and tight or it could cause injuries.
