POOL OUTLET - STRAINER & PLUNGER VALVE SETUP
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 (26) (see drawing 1).
Be careful not to lose the step rubber
washer (23). Place the plunger valve on
the ground in a safe place.
2. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the
strainer nut (24) from the threaded
connector (26). Leave the flat washer (25)
on the connector (26).
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 (26) 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 (24) facing the outside wall of
the liner in a clockwise motion screw the
strainer nut (24) back onto the threaded
connector (26) (see drawing 2).
5. Finger tighten the strainer nut (24) onto the
threaded connector (26).
6. Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make
sure the step washer (23) is in place.
7. In a clockwise motion screw the plunger
valve union back onto the threaded
connector (26) (see drawing 3).
8. Examine the plunger valve to see if the
handle is pushed fully down to the "0/1"
position. If not, then grasp the handle at
the top and push down turning the handle
in a clockwise direction until the plastic
protruding notch anchors in the "0/1"
position. This will prevent water from
flowing out during filling (see
drawings 4.1 & 4.2).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
26
Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount
of filter sand have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a
ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD).
27
CAUTION
161
28
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never be
on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated with
the valve closed, explosive situation could exist.
1. Grasp plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, pull up until it
stops, and then turn it clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchor is in
the "0/1" position. Repeat for the second plunger valve. This opens the valves to
allow water to flow into the sand filter pump
2. Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not covered and directed to
a proper draining receptacle.
3. Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way
29
valve and turn it to the “BACKWASH” position
(see drawings 24 & 29).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the
2
1
6-way valve, always depress the valve
handle before turning. Always switch off
pump before changing the 6-way valve
position.
4. Switch on the pump (see drawing 30). Water
is circulating backward through the sand
media and to waste/drain outlet. Backwash
until a clear flow of water is observed in the
waste/drain outlet or through the drain sediment

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “RINSE” position (see
5
drawing 25).
. Switch on the pump and run the pump for about one minute to level out the
6
sand bed after backwashing the sand media.
7. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “FILTER” position (see
drawing 23).
8. Switch on the pump. The system is now operating in the normal filtering mode.
Run the pump until the desired pool water clearance is obtained and no more
than 12 hours per day.
9. Record the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter media is clean.
NOTE: During initial setup of the system, it may be necessary to backwash
frequently due to unusual heavy dirt present in the water and sand. After that,
as the filter removes dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulated
dirt in the sand media will cause the pressure to rise and the flow to diminish. If
there is no vacuuming device attached to the system and the pressure gauge
reading is in the yellow zone it is time to backwash the sand media, see
“BACKWASH” under “initial startup and operation” section.
Vacuuming device (i.e. Intex auto pool cleaner) attached to the system may also
cause the flow to diminish and the pressure to rise. Remove any vacuuming
device from the system and check if the pressure gauge reading has dropped
from the yellow zone to the green zone.
161
Operating the system under “TIMER” mode or manually:
To operate the sand filter pump in “FILTER” mode under “TIMER” control:
A. Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table
(see drawing 31).
B. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “ ” position, the sand filter
pump is now filtering the water and will stop after the operating hours are
completed. The built-in timer will now operate for the number of hours
selected at the same time each day.
C. Operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Follow step A – B.
To operate the sand filter pump manually (without the “TIMER” mode):
A.Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “-” position, the sand filter
pump is now filtering the water.
B.To turn off the pump, press the switch to “O” position.

POOL CARE & CHEMICALS
•All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper
chemical control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer
for instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical
agents required for sparkling clear water.
•Keep pool chemicals away from children.
•Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could
occur.
•Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and cannot be
veremphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required
o
when filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool
supply store for instructions.
•The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water
additives and extra filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is
balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
•Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool
and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be
destroyed. Note that some types of grass may grow through the liner.
•Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various
run times so as to produce clean clear water.
CAUTION
Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the
chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.
LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
161
MMAAIINNTTEENNAANNCCEE
CAUTION
Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty.
If anti-freeze solution is needed, use only propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is
non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes
are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
1.Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is
directed towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local
regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2.Switch off the unit, and disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3.When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and
remove the strainers/plunger valves from the pool wall.
4.In a counter clockwise motion unscrew the drain valve cap (9) from the drain valve to
thoroughly drain the tank. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.
5.Disassemble the pump motor from the tank base.
6.Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7.Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• L-shape o-ring (11).
• o-ring A (18).
• Pump hose O-rings (22).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (23).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (25).
8.Depress the 6-way valve handle and rotate so as to set the pointer on the valve top
“N” position. This allows the water to drain from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this
inactive position.
9.
It is best to place all dry pieces and pump motor in the original packaging for storage. To
avoid condensation or corrosion problem, do not cover or wrap pump motor with plastic bags.
10. Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature
should be controlled, between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40
degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
