Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
3.1 Aye Yiyan
Choose a well-drained area, preferably shaded, that is easily accessible for maintenance. The filter should be placed on a firm, level base, such as a concrete slab, to prevent settling or shifting.
3.2 Filter Media Installation
- Ensure the internal laterals are properly seated at the bottom of the filter tank.
- Partially fill the tank with water to cover the laterals. This helps cushion the laterals when adding sand.
- Carefully add the recommended filter media (sand, suggested size: 0.5-0.8mm) into the tank. Refer to the filter's specifications for the correct amount.
- Level the sand surface.
3.3 Multiport Valve Installation
- Clean the top opening of the filter tank and the O-ring on the multiport valve.
- Carefully insert the multiport valve into the tank opening, ensuring the standpipe from the laterals aligns with the valve's opening.
- Secure the multiport valve to the tank using the unique one-piece clamp with screw-type lock. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
3.4 Plumbing Awọn isopọ
Connect the pool plumbing to the multiport valve ports:
- PUMP: Connect the pipe from the pool pump discharge to this port.
- PADA: Connect the pipe leading back to the pool inlets to this port.
- ENU: Connect a waste line to this port, leading to a suitable drain or disposal area.
Ensure all connections are watertight using appropriate sealants and fittings. The universal standard union connection is provided for convenience.
4. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ
The multiport valve allows for various operational modes. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.
4.1 Multiport Valve Functions
| Ipo | Apejuwe |
|---|---|
| FILE | Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand bed, trapping debris, and returns to the pool. |
| BACKASH | Reverses water flow through the filter to flush trapped debris out to the waste line. Used for cleaning the filter media. |
| FI omi ṣan | Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to FILTER mode. |
| ENU | Bypasses the filter and sends water directly from the pump to the waste line. Used for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering pool water level. |
| Atunse | Bypasses the filter and circulates water directly back to the pool. Used for chemical mixing without filtering. |
| NIPADE | Shuts off all flow to the filter and pool. Do not operate the pump with the valve in this position. |
4.2 Ibẹrẹ Ibẹrẹ
- Ensure all plumbing connections are secure.
- Set the multiport valve to the BACKASH ipo.
- Turn on the pump and backwash for 2-3 minutes, or until the water in the sight glass (if present) runs clear.

5.1 Backwashing
Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above the clean filter operating pressure, or when water clarity diminishes. Follow the steps outlined in "Initial Startup" for backwashing and rinsing.
5.2 Sand Replacement
Filter sand typically needs replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Consult a pool professional for this procedure.
5.3 Igba otutu
In freezing climates, the filter must be drained and winterized to prevent damage. Consult your local pool professional for proper winterization procedures.

| Isoro | Owun to le Fa | Ojutu |
|---|---|---|
| High Pressure Gauge Reading | Dirty filter media; clogged skimmer/pump basket. | Backwash the filter; clean skimmer and pump baskets. |
| Low Pressure Gauge Reading / Low Flow | Clogged pump impeller; air leak in suction line; pump not primed. | Check/clean impeller; inspect plumbing for leaks; re-prime pump. |
| Water Returning to Pool is Cloudy | Insufficient backwashing; damaged laterals; incorrect sand type/amount. | Perform thorough backwash/rinse; inspect laterals; verify sand specifications. |
| Water Leaking from Multiport Valve | Worn O-rings/gaskets; loose clamp. | Inspect and replace O-rings/gaskets; tighten clamp. |
