4.2 Pump and wall skimmer connections
The pump (1) must be positioned on its special seat on the supporting base (10) and fixed to the base with the
screws it is equipped with (Fig. 8).
1) Connect the OUT delivery side of the pump with the PUMP union of the valve. Use the coupling and the clamps it is equipped
with (1-2 fig. 9).
2) Connect the Skimmer union with the IN suction of the pump. (See marking on pump.)
3) Connect the union of the mouth for water entry into the pool with the RETURN union of the 7-way valve.
4) The suction hose that leads the unclean water from the pool (pool skimmer) to the pump should be mounted on
the inlet connection with a clamp. (See the marking on the pump). Mount the hose that lead the clean water back to
the pool to the 7-ways vale marked with ”RETURN”.
5) Connect an adequate tube with the WASTE mouth when the backwash function is desired so that dirty water can
be drained out to a chosen site.
All tubes must be fastened with safety clamps. Fill up the pool – make sure the water level covers about halfway the
suction mouth of the wall skimmer.
Now the system can be started up. Follow the instructions below.

5. Using for the first time
Let the water flow from the pool to the sand filter system. Press the valve handle down, to let air out and to let the
water in the tank. Be sure that the tank is placed under the water surface, so the water can flow naturally in the hose
towards the pump.
NOTE: Run the ”BACKWASH” procedure to avoid small particles and sand grains getting into the pool before
filtration starts.
6. Starting up the filter/pump - backwash procedure
1) Make sure the power plug is disconnected. Set the handle in BACKWASH position. Switch the pump on and carry
out a backwash for a few minutes to eliminate any sand that could have settled during filling up. During a backwash
the water will flow out from the ”WASTE” drain cock an led to the nearest drain by a hose. For this use, you can by a
“rolled op” hose as an accessory.
Switch the pump off.
2) Now set the lever on RINSE; switch the pump on and rinse for a minute. In the RINSE position the drain cock will
be cleaned from sand grains, that or else, would have been flushed into the pool. Switch the pump off.
3) Set the lever on FILTER. Switch the pump on. The filter is now operating normally and is carrying out its function at an
optimum level.
We recommend you to use the filter at least twice a day for 3-4 hours and to do a backwash for a few minutes after
each cycle.
We recommend that you run the BACKWASH procedure minimum once a week.
Note The filtering process leads to a continuous capture of impurities in the filter sand. This ongoing process will
lead also to an increased pressure inside the tank, when the water pressed through filter material. The sand filter
