3.1. Diegimo žingsniai
- Filtro išdėstymas: Place the universal base on a firm, level surface, preferably concrete, as close to the pool as possible. Ensure there is adequate space around the filter for maintenance and operation.
- Assembling the Tank and Base: Carefully place the filter tank onto the universal base. Ensure it is seated securely.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Siurblio užpildymas: Before starting the filter, ensure the pool pump is primed according to its manufacturer's instructions.
4. Filtrų sistemos valdymas
The 6-position multi-port valve allows for various operational modes. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.
| Padėtis | Funkcija | Aprašymas |
|---|---|---|
| FILTRAS | Įprastas filtravimas | For daily filtering of pool water. Water flows through the sand bed, trapping debris, and returns to the pool. |
| ATGALINĖS PLOVIMAS | Valymo filtras | Reverses 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. |
| IŠSKALAUTI | Flushing Lines | Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining dirt from the valve and sand bed, sending it to waste. Run for 30-60 seconds. |
| ATLIEKOS / NUOTEKAS | Draining Pool/Vacuum to Waste | Bypasses the filter, sending water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level. |
| RECIKURIUOTI | Circulate Water (No Filtering) | Circulates pool water without passing it through the filter sand. Useful for distributing chemicals quickly. |
| UŽDARYTA | Shuts Off Flow | Closes 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.
5. Priežiūra
5.1. Backwashing
Backwash your filter when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above its clean starting pressure, or when water flow to the pool noticeably decreases. This indicates that the sand bed has accumulated debris and needs cleaning.
- Išjunkite baseino siurblį.
- Rotate the multi-port valve handle to the ATGALINĖS PLOVIMAS padėtis.
- Turn on the pump and backwash for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the water flowing out of the waste line appears clear.
- Išjunkite siurblį.
- Rotate the multi-port valve handle to the IŠSKALAUTI padėtis.
- Turn on the pump and rinse for 30-60 seconds.
- Išjunkite siurblį.
- Rotate the multi-port valve handle back to the FILTRAS padėtis.
- Įjunkite siurblį, kad atnaujintumėte įprastą filtravimą.
5.2. Sand Replacement
Filter sand typically needs to be replaced every 3-5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Over time, sand particles can become worn and less effective at filtering. Consult a pool professional if you are unsure.
5.3. Pasiruošimas žiemai
For colder climates, proper winterization is crucial to prevent damage to your filter system:
- Kruopščiai nuplaukite ir išskalaukite filtrą.
- Išleiskite visą vandenį iš filtro bako, atidarydami išleidimo kamštį apačioje.
- Remove the multi-port valve and store it in a warm, dry place.
- Nuimkite manometrą.
- Store hoses in a dry place.
- Leave the drain plug open during winter to allow any remaining moisture to escape.
6. Problemų sprendimas
| Problema | Galima priežastis | Sprendimas |
|---|---|---|
| Mažas vandens srautas / aukštas slėgis | Clogged filter sand bed | Atlikite atbulinį plovimą ir skalavimą. |
| Debesuotas baseino vanduo |
|
|
| Vanduo teka iš vožtuvo |
|
|
| Smėlis grįžta į baseiną |
