  3. Filtro smėlio įpylimas:
    • Nuimkite daugiafunkcinį vožtuvą nuo bako viršaus.
    • Cover the standpipe opening inside the tank to prevent sand from entering it. A small cup or plastic bag can be used.
    • Carefully pour approximately 110 lbs of #20 silica sand (0.45-0.55 mm) into the filter tank. Distribute the sand evenly.
    • Remove the cover from the standpipe.
  4. Installing the Multi-Port Valve:
    • Ensure the O-ring is properly seated on the valve.
    • Carefully lower the multi-port valve onto the tank, aligning the standpipe with the valve's opening. Do not force it.
    • Secure the valve to the tank using the provided clamp or bolts. Ensure a tight, leak-free seal.
    • Install the pressure gauge into the designated port on the valve. Neperveržkite matuoklio.
  5. Žarnų prijungimas:
    • Connect the pool pump's discharge port to the "PUMP" port on the multi-port valve using one of the 6-foot hoses and clamps.
    • Connect the "RETURN" port on the multi-port valve to the pool's return inlet using the other 6-foot hose and clamps.
    • Connect the "WASTE" port on the multi-port valve to a suitable waste line or discharge area using the 3-foot hose and clamps. Ensure the waste line directs water away from the pool area and complies with local regulations.
    • Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. The filter is designed to accept most standard pool pumps and plumbing configurations, including 1.5-inch PVC pipes.
  6. Siurblio užpildymas: Before starting the filter, ensure the pool pump is primed according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Multi-Port Valve Positions
PadėtisFunkcijaAprašymas
FILTRASĮprastas filtravimasFor daily filtering of pool water. Water flows through the sand bed, trapping debris, and returns to the pool.
ATGALINĖS PLOVIMASValymo filtrasReverses water flow through the sand bed to flush trapped debris out the waste port. Perform when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above starting pressure.
IŠSKALAUTIFlushing LinesUsed after backwashing to flush out any remaining dirt from the valve and sand bed, sending it to waste. Run for 30-60 seconds.
ATLIEKOS / NUOTEKASDraining Pool/Vacuum to WasteBypasses the filter, sending water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
RECIKURIUOTICirculate Water (No Filtering)Circulates pool water without passing it through the filter sand. Useful for distributing chemicals quickly.
UŽDARYTAShuts Off FlowCloses all flow to the filter and pool. Use only when the pump is off.

To begin normal filtration, ensure the pump is off, set the valve to FILTRAS, then turn on the pump. Note the initial pressure gauge reading; this is your clean filter pressure.
