Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand
have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
CAUTION
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never
be on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated
with the valve closed, explosive situation could exist.
1.
Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves to allow water
to flow into the sand filter pump. With water flowing into sand filter pump, the water pressure will allow the air
trapped inside to escape from the air release valves (19). When all the air has escaped water will flow out of
the valves (19). When this occurs gently finger tighten the valves (19) in a clockwise direction
.
IMPORTANT: To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger
valve (connected inlet hose) first and then the upper
plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open the air release
valves, wait until water starts to flow out of the air release
valves, close air release valves.
2.
Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not covered and
directed to a proper draining receptacle.
3. Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and turn it to the
“BACKWASH” position (see drawings 26 & 31).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve, always
depress the valve handle before turning. Always switch off
pump before changing the 6-way valve position.
4. Switch on the pump (see drawing 32). Water is circulating
backward through the sand media and to waste/drain outlet.
Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed in the
waste/drain outlet or through the drain sediment window.
NOTE: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to
remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand media.
