Use and Care Manual

1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set
the Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock
dry any excess water from yourself and the sand
filter.
IMPORTANT: Before operation, make
sure the tank is placed steadily on its base and connected correctly to the
pump.
2. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
NOTE: The sand filter has now started its filtering cycle. Check that
water is returning to the pool and take note of the filter pressure on
Pressure Gauge. Generally, the recommended sand filter pressure is
less than 0.56 Bar (8.0 PSI) when it is running.
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand
filter is switched off and unplugged before any
maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or
death exists. As dirt builds up in the sand
filter, the pressure reading on Pressure
Gauge will increase. When the Pressure
Gauge is 0.56 Bar (8.0 PSI) or higher, or
water flow to the pool is too low, it is time to clean the sand. To clean the
sand bed, follow all instructions outlined previously in : Backwash and
Rinsing.
NOTE:
1. The Pressure Gauge is just used for measuring the water
pressure, not used for precision measurement.
2. We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or
less regularly depending on how often the pool is used.
Do not clean the sand too frequently.
