Your Hayward Pro Series high-rate sand filter is a high
performance, totally corrosion-proof filter that blends superior
flow characteristics and features with ease of operation. It
represents the very latest in high-rate sand filter technology . It
is virtually foolproof in design and operation. When installed,
operated and maintained according to instructions, your filter
will produce clear, sparkling water with minimal attention and
care.
HOW IT WORKS
Your filter uses special filter sand to remove dirt particles from
pool water. The filter sand is loaded into the filter tank and
functions as the permanent dirt removing media. The pool
water, which contains suspended dirt particles, is pumped
through your piping system and is automatically directed by
the patented 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 is returned from the bottom of the filter tank,
through the control valve and back to the pool through the
piping system. This entire sequence is continuous and
automatic and provides for total recirculation of pool water
through your filter and piping system.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes
a resistance to flow, and the flow diminishes and the pressure
gauge rises. 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 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 backwashed (cleaned) of dirt, the
control valve is manually positioned to Rinse, and then
positioned to Filter to resume normal operation.
INSTALLATION
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe
sealant for plastic adapters, are required to install and/or
service filter.
The filter system must be placed on level, very firm,
ground. Position the filter so that the piping connections,
control valve and winter drain are convenient and
accessible for operation, service and winterizing.
Assemble the Pump to the platform base. The adapters
must now be installed to connect the pump/filter system.
Apply Teflon pipe sealant tape or Permatex No. 2
sealant to straight adapter. Screw adapter into pump
discharge port. (Do not overtighten.)
Apply Teflon pipe sealant tape or Permatex No. 2
sealant to elbow adapter. Screw adapter securely into
opening in control valve marked PUMP. (Do not
overtighten.)
Loading sand media. Filter sand media is loaded through
the top opening of the filter.
Loosen flange clamp and remove Filter Control Valve
(if previously installed).
Cap internal pipe with sand shield to prevent sand from
entering it. Be sure pipe is securely in place in bottom
underdrain hub.
We recommend filling tank approximately 1/2 way with
water to provide a cushioning effect when the filter
sand is poured in. This helps protect the underdrain
laterals from excessive shock. (Be sure the winter drain
cap is securely in place on drain pipe.)
