CONTROL VALVE OVERVIEW
WARNING: To prevent equipment damage and possible injury,
always unplug the sand filter before changing the Control Valve
function. Changing valve positions while the pump is running can
damage the Control Valve, which may cause personal injury or
property damage.
How to Use the Control Valve
Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to desired function.
CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS
The Control valve is used to select 6 different filter functions: Filter, Rinse, Circulate, Backwash,
Closed and Drain.
Filter: This function is used to filter pool water and should be positioned
here 99% of the time. Water is pumped through the sand filter, where it is
cleaned and returned to the pool.
Backwash: This function is used to clean the sand bed; water is pumped
down through the Collector Hub, upwards through the sand bed, and
deposited out of Port D.
Rinse: This function for initial startup, cleaning, and sand bed leveling
after Backwash; water is pumped downwards through the sand bed, up
through the Collector Hub and deposited out of the valve Port D.
NOTE:
• Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet applicable local, state or national codes. Do not
discharge water where it will cause flooding or damage.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position, water will discharge from
Port D on the Control Valve.
• Do not plug-in or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to the Closed function or it will
seriously damage the sand filter.
• When running the sand filter, do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to
leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port D before operating the
sand filter.
Section I: Assembly
1. Carefully remove all components from the package and check to ensure nothing is damaged. If equipment is damaged,
immediately notify the retailer from where the equipment was purchased.
2. The sand filter should be placed on solid, level ground, preferably a concrete slab. Position the sand filter so the Ports
and Control Valve are accessible for operation, servicing and winterizing.
3. EN60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the sand filter must be vertically fixed on ground or a certain pedestal made of
wood or concrete before use to prevent the sand filter from accidental falling. Fully assembled sand filter will exceed
18kg. The mounting holes should be 8mm in diameter and spaced 275mm apart. Use two bolts and nuts with a
maximum of 8mm in diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal.
Load pool-grade filter sand.
NOTE: Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay: #20 Silica sand
0.45-0.85mm, approximately one 8.5kg bag should suffice. If you do not use the recommended size of
filter sand, filtering performance will be reduced and the sand filter may damaged, thereby voiding the
warranty.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour some water into the Bottom Tank to
submerse the Skimmer on the Collector Hub.
NOTE: SAND NOT INCLUDED.
(You will need a Phillips screwdriver.)
Circulate: This function circulates pool water bypassing the sand filter;
use this function if the filter is broken to collect debris in the Debris
Screens.
Drain: This function drains water from the pool; another filter bypass
setting, water is pumped and deposited out of Port D, instead of returning
it to the pool.
Closed: This function stops water flowing between the sand filter and the
pool.
