SAFETY INFORMATION:
1． Sand lters are designed to work with water temperatures between 33.8°F and 113°F (1°C - 45°C).
The lter should never be operated outside of these temperatures or damage may occur.
2． The installation should be carried out in accordance with the safety requirements of the swimming
pool industry and the specic requirements for each application.
3． The user should make sure that the installation is carried out by qualied authorized persons and
that these persons have rst carefully read the following instructions. Incorrectly installed equipment
may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
4． The operating safety of the lter is only guaranteed if the installation and operation instructions are
correctly followed.
5． To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
6． Chemical spills and fumes can weaken Swimming Pool/ Spa components. Corrosion can cause lters
and other equipment to fail, resulting in severe injury or property damage.
Do not store pool chemicals near your equipment.
7． Any modication of the lter or use of unauthorized parts will void your warranty. The supplier
assumes no liability for the damage and injuries caused by unauthorized replacement parts and
accessories.
8． In the event of defective operation or faulty components, contact the supplier or its nearest
authorized service agent
SAND FILTRATION WORKING PRINCIPLE:
Incoming water from the piping system is automatically directed by the Multiport 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 Multiport
Valve and back through the piping system.
PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION:
1． Position the lter as close to the Swimming Pool/ Spa as possible.
2． The lter should be placed on a level concrete slab, very rm ground, or equivalent. Ensure that the
ground will not give way or erode, thus preventing any strain to the attached plumbing.
3． Position the lter under consideration of the piping connections, so that it is convenient for
operating and servicing.
4． Ensure that the compliance label is facing the front to allow for easy identication of pertinent
information, in the event of service requirement.
HOW TO INSTALL THE FILTER TANK:
1． Install sand lter tank onto the lter / pump base (part #s 6 & 1 / Item# 71623, 71923, 72223, or
72423; on Pg. 5). Turn right to lock into place. Position the outlet drain plug facing
outward for ease of access.
2． Before lling the lter media (sand) into the lter vessel, do a visual check of the laterals.
Replace broken or loose laterals if necessary. Install the laterals, aligning the raised point of the
laterals to the raised indicator point on the umbrella style lateral holder. (Part# 3 / Item# 71608
or 72408; on Pg. 5).
