4. Настройка і ўстаноўка

Выканайце наступныя дзеянні для правільнай зборкі і ўстаноўкі:

1. пазіцыянаванне: Place the filter system on a firm, level surface, preferably below the pool's water level, and at least 10 feet from the pool. Ensure adequate drainage.
2. Засыпаць пяском: Remove the multi-port valve and carefully pour the recommended amount of filter sand (up to 100 lbs) into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered during this process. Do not overfill.
3. Усталюйце шматпортавы клапан: Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the tank, ensuring it seats properly on the standpipe. Secure it with the provided clamp або балты.
4. Падключыць помпа: Attach the pump to the filter tank using the provided plumbing. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Pool Connections: Connect the filter system to your pool's skimmer and return lines. For soft-sided pools, use the included 40mm to 1.5'' filter hose connection kit for proper fitment.
6. Электрычнае падключэнне: Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
7. Заліце ​​помпу: Before starting, ensure the pump basket is filled with water. Open all necessary valves to allow water to flow from the pool to the pump.

5. Operating the Filter System

The multi-port valve controls the flow of water through the filter system. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

Multi-Port Valve Settings:

• ФІЛЬТР: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand, is cleaned, and returned to the pool.
• Зваротная прамыванне: Cleans the filter sand by reversing water flow. Water is discharged through the waste port. Perform when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above starting pressure.
• Паласканне: Used after backwashing to flush dirty water from the valve and settle the sand. Water is discharged through the waste port.
• АДХОДЫ: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering pool water level.
• РЭЦЫРКУЛЯЦЫЯ: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
• ЗАКРЫТА: Адключае ўсю падачу вады да фільтра і помпы. Не выкарыстоўвайце помпу ў гэтым становішчы.
• ЗІМА: Position for winterizing the filter system.

Пачатковая працэдура запуску:

1. Ensure the pump is primed and all connections are secure.
2. Set the multi-port valve to the ЗВАРОТНАЯ ПРОМЫЎКА становішча.
3. Turn on the pump and backwash for 2-3 minutes, or until water in the sight glass runs clear.
4. Выключыце помпа.
5. Set the multi-port valve to the Прамыць становішча.
6. Уключыце помпу і прамыйце на працягу 30-60 секунд.
7. Выключыце помпа.
8. Set the multi-port valve to the ФІЛЬТРАВАЦЬ становішча.
9. Turn on the pump. The system is now operating in normal filter mode. Note the initial pressure gauge reading.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Regular Backwashing:

Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above the clean filter's starting pressure, or when water clarity diminishes. Follow the backwash and rinse procedure outlined in Section 5.

Замена пяску:

Filter sand typically lasts approximately 5 years, depending on water chemistry and backwashing frequency. Replace sand when filtration efficiency decreases despite regular backwashing.

Pump Strainer Basket Cleaning:

Periodically inspect and clean the pump's strainer basket to ensure optimal water flow and prevent debris buildup. Turn off the pump, close necessary valves, remove the lid, empty the basket, and replace.

Зімоўка:

Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the filter tank and pump. Disconnect hoses and store components in a dry, protected area. Set the multi-port valve to the ЗІМА становішча.
