Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully.

4.1. Aye Yiyan

• Place the filter on a firm, level surface, preferably concrete, to prevent settling.
• Ensure adequate ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
• Allow sufficient space around the filter for maintenance and service.

4.2. Filling with Filter Media (Sand)

1. Ensure the internal standpipe and laterals are properly assembled and secured.
2. Place a plastic bag or cover over the standpipe opening to prevent sand from entering.
3. Carefully pour the recommended amount and grade of filter sand into the tank.
4. Remove the plastic bag/cover and ensure no sand has entered the standpipe.

4.3. Multi-port Valve Installation

1. Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the filter tank, aligning the standpipe with the valve's opening.
2. Secure the valve to the tank using the provided clamp or bolts, ensuring a tight seal.
3. Connect the plumbing from the pump to the "PUMP" port on the valve.
4. Connect the plumbing to the pool return lines to the "RETURN" port on the valve.
5. Connect a waste line to the "WASTE" port on the valve, directing water to an appropriate drainage area.
6. Install the pressure gauge into the designated port on the valve.

5. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ

The multi-port valve controls the filter's functions. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.

5.1. Multi-port Valve Positions

• ÀYỌ: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand, is cleaned, and returned to the pool.
• BACKASH: Cleans the filter sand. Water flows in reverse, flushing trapped debris out the waste line.
• Fi omi ṣan: Used after backwashing to settle the sand and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to FILTER mode.
• WASTE/DRAIN: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly from the pool to the waste line. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
• ATUNSE: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
• Pipade: Ó pa gbogbo ìṣàn omi sí àlẹ̀mọ́ náà. Lò ó fún ṣíṣe àtúnṣe sí àlẹ̀mọ́ tàbí àlẹ̀mọ́ náà.

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your filter.

6.1. Backwashing

Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.5-0.7 bar) above the clean filter pressure, or when pool water clarity decreases. Follow the steps outlined in "5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)" for each backwash cycle.

6.2. Ṣíṣe ìgbà òtútù (tí ó bá wúlò)

1. Pa fifa naa ki o si ge agbara kuro.
