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. 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 accidentally falling. Fully assembled
sand filter will exceed 18 kg (39.7 lb). The mounting holes should be 8 mm (0.31 in)
in diameter and spaced 86 mm (3.4 in) apart. Use two bolts and nuts with a maximum
of 8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal.
LOAD POOL-GRADE FILTER SAND/FLOWCLEAR™ POLYSPHERE.
NOTE: Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay: #20 Silica sand 0.45-0.85 mm (0.02-0.03 in), approximately
one 9 kg (19.8 lb) 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.
IMPORTANT: We suggest using #20 silica sand with your pool sand filter. It is specially graded to trap particles in the 20 - 100 micron range.
Some small debris can pass throw the sand and back into the pool. This is normal, especially if the debris is fine or silt.
To limit this, it is better to follow the maintenance instructions, and backwash and rinse when necessary.
We also suggest contacting your pool dealer for the chemical product specifically made to clean the sand. The correct maintenance of
the sand will optimize the cleaning efficiency and avoid accumulation of oils or scale.
When you are vacuuming the bottom of the pool that has a large amount of debris, we suggest to backwash the sand when you finish
cleaning half of the pool.
Remember to backwash and rinse the sand after vacuuming the bottom of the pool each time.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour some water into the Bottom Tank to submerse the Skimmer on the Hub.
NOTE: Sand/Flowclear™ Polysphere not included.
NOTE: Use 28 g (0.06 lb) Flowclear™ Polysphere to replace 1 kg (2.20 lb) sand.
