The strainer grid prevents large objects from jamming and/or damaging the filter pump. If
your pool has an inflatable top ring, install the strainer, nozzle and plunger valve before
inflating the pool liner top ring. The part numbers here onward refer to the parts depicted
in the Parts List section of this manual. To install, do the following:
1.
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew plunger valve
union from the threaded strainer connector
(33) (see
drawing 1).
Be careful not to lose the step rubber
washer
(30). Place the plunger valve on the ground in
a safe place.
2.
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the strainer nut
(31) from the threaded connector (33). Leave the flat
washer
(32) on the connector (33).
3.
Install the strainer and plunger valve at the lower
position of pool outlet (marked "+").
From the inside of
the pool liner insert the connector
(33) into one of the
pre-cut holes with the washer remaining on the
connector to be placed against the inside of the liner
wall.
4.
Before assembly, lubricate the threads with a petroleum
jelly. With the flat side of the strainer nut
(31) facing
the outside wall of the liner in a clockwise motion screw
the strainer nut
(31) back onto the threaded connector
(33) (see drawing 2).
5.
Finger tighten the strainer nut (31) onto the threaded
connector
(33).
6.
Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make sure the step
washer
(30) is in place.
7.
In a clockwise motion screw the plunger valve union
back onto the threaded connector (33) (see drawing 3).
8.
In a clockwise motion turn the plunger valve handle to
close position. Ensure the plunger valve is securely
closed. This will prevent water from flowing out during
filling of the pool
(see drawings 4).

HOW THE ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION WORKS
The Electrocatalytic Oxidation (E.C.O.) is an Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). When direct
current is applied to the electrocatalytic oxidation electrodes, water will be discharged to generate
“hydroxyl radicals”. The hydroxyl radical is a powerful oxidant, which oxidizes organic
contaminants, and destroys bacteria and algae. Hydroxyl radicals in combination with free
available chlorine provide the strongest and safest pool water sanitation.

IMPORTANT: Some countries, especially in the European community, require the
product to be secured to the ground or to a base in a permanent upright position.
Check your local authorities to determine if there is a regulation in your area
regarding above-the-ground swimming pool filter-pumps. If yes, then the product can
be mounted to a platform using the two holes located in the base. See drawing 14.3.
The product can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden platform to prevent

Sand loading:
IMPORTANT: Use No. 20 silica sand or glass sand with particle size range 0.45
to 0.85 mm (0.018 to 0.033 inches) and a Uniformity Coefficient less than 1.75.
NOTE: Before loading the tank with sand, ensure the center pipe hub assembly is
securely in place at the bottom of the tank, and vertically centered inside the tank.
1.
Place the sand shield
(7) over the top of the center pipe. Pour the sand into the tank at a
slow rate.
(see drawing 15).
2.
Fill the tank approximately half way, remove the sand shield (7). (see drawing 16).
3.
Evenly distribute the sand inside the tank, then fill the tank with some water to provide a
cushioning effect when the remaining sand is poured in. This prevents the center pipe hub
(8)
from excessive shock
(see drawing 17). Place the sand shield (7) back and continue to pour
the sand into the tank.
4.
Sand shall be filled between the “MAX” and “MIN” marked gauge on the center pipe. Evenly
spread and level out the sand by hand
(see drawings 17 & 18).
5.
Remove the sand shield
(7).
6.
Wash away all sand around the top edge of the tank.

6-way valve installation:
1.
Lower the 6-way valve over the tank slowly, and ensure the bypass pipe protruding
underneath the 6-way valve fits securely into the center pipe hub
(8) top opening (see
drawing 19)
.
IMPORTANT: There are three hose connection ports on the 6-way valve, ensure the
outlet connection (from filter to the pool) on the valve is facing towards the pool, and
the inlet connection (from motor to valve) is aligned with the motor outlet (see
drawing 20).
2.
Remove the clamp bolt, and install the clamp around the tank and 6-way valve flanges, then
replace the clamp bolt and use a phillips screwdriver (not included) to tighten it.
(see
drawing 21)
.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
WARNING
Improper tank valve and clamp assembly could cause the valve and
clamp to blow off and cause serious injury, property damage or death.
3.
Connect the sand filter interconnecting hose (13) between the 6-way valve inlet and motor
outlet,
and insert the electrolytic cell (22) into the 6-way valve outlet. Hand tighten them
securely (
see drawings 22 and 23).

23
4.
Screw and tighten the flow sensor (21) to the electrolytic cell (22), then plug in the
electrolytic cell line cord and tighten the nut (
