INSTALLATION
Install the filter in a dry, well-ventilated location with adequate access for servicing. Place
the filter in its permanent location on a completely level base, preferably made of concrete
poured as a single slab or on a platform constructed of concrete blocks or bricks. Pipes
should preferably be made of PVC. Set the suction pipe at a slight angle to avoid the formation
of air bubbles. Fit the valve and position the filter in the correct place. Make sure that the
valve on the filter can be easily accessed. Then fit the plumbing.
OPERATION
Before pouring media, look inside and check lower underdrain for broken or loose laterals.
The sand is put in through the opening in the top of the filter.
Sidemount: Turn the top diffuser system sideways until it clicks tight. Fill the tank 1/3 with
water. Protect the thread on the filter by covering it with adhesive tape. Next fill the filter with
the specified amount of gravel and then sand. Do this carefully to avoid damaging the bottom
laterals. After filling, turn the top diffuser pipe back to its original vertical and centered
position so that it again clicks into position. Remove the adhesive tape and clean the thread.
Pull the air relief tubing slightly upwards, so the breather pipe strainer will fit into the dome
after the dome has been fitted. Place the O-ring seal on the dome and tighten hand-tight
with wrench. Shift valve handle to "Rinse" position. Now start the pump and open the bleed
valve until water begins to appear from the blow-off opening in the bleed valve.
Topmount: Fill tank for 1/3 with water. Before filling the filter, sand guide should be on the
pipe. Fill the filter with the specified quantity of gravel, afterwards with sand. Remove the
sand guide. Assemble the valve to the filter and tighten with the clamp ring. Connect the
piping. Turn the valve into position "Rinse" and start the pump for at least 1 minute.
NEVER SHIFT VALVE HANDLE POSITION WHILE PUMP IS RUNNING

FILTRATION
When the filter is used for the first time, shift the valve handle to 'Backwash' position, until you
see clear water appearing through the sideglass. Do this at least 3 times before proceeding
with below steps:
1. Shift multi-port valve handle to "Filtration" position.
2. Start the pump.
3. Bleed off any air in the filter.
4. Filter is running.
5. Make a note here of the pressure showing on the pressure gauge:

bar.
