• Locate o-ring (G) on bottom of 6-way valve (C).
• Lubricate with o-ring lube to ensure proper seal
on tank.
• Push o-ring against the lip of the valve. It MUST sit
flat against the lip to protect from leaking at the valve.
• Clean off any sand or debris on top lip of filter and
position valve over the opening of the standpipe.
• Valve will slide ONTO standpipe when positioned
properly in tank (as shown). Push down firmly to
make sure valve slides on all the way.
NOTE
You CANNOT pull standpipe up to secure
the valve. Pulling up can damage the
laterals and cause sand to get sent back
with water flow to pool.
• Add filter grade sand (sold separately) to
filter tank around standpipe. The approximate
amount of sand necessary will vary based on
the size filter you purchased.
18” Tank .... 110 Lbs.
22” T
ank .... 220 Lbs.
26” T
ank .... 360 Lbs.
• Remove plastic bag and fill tank with water until the tank is filled right below opening
of standpipe.
NOTE
NEVER FILL SAND TANK MORE THAN 1/2 TO 3/4 OF THE WAY.
Adding too much sand can cause weak return flow.
