FILTER OVERVIEW
Your high rate sand filter is designed to produce clear, sparkling water and
operate for years with a minimum of maintenance when installed, operated
and maintained in accordance with these instructions.
Your filter uses special filter sand to remove dirt particles from pool water
Filter sand is loaded into the filter tank and functions as the dirt removing
media. The pool water, which contains suspended dirt particles, is pumped
through your piping system and is automatically directed by the filter
control valve to the top of the filter tank. As the pool water is pumped
through the filter sand, dirt particles are trapped by the sand bed, and
filtered out. The cleaned pool water flows from the bottom of the filter tank,
up through the stand pipe, back to the valve on top of the filter, where the
clean water is returned to the pool through the piping or hoses.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance
to flow, and the flow diminishes. This means it is time to clean
(backwash)your filter. With the control valve in the backwash position, the
water flow is automatically reversed through the filter so that it is directed to
the bottom of the tank, up through the sand, flushing the previously trapped
dirt and debris out the waste line. Once the filter is back washed (cleaned)
of dirt the control valve is manually resequenced to Rinse, and then Filter,
to resume normal filtering
