How does this sand filter work?
The filter sand is loaded into the filter tank and functions as the permanent dirt removing media. (sand sold seperately)

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 filtered and 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 operation is continuous and automatic and provides for total recirculation of pool water through your filter and piping system.

FILTER CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS

FILTER– Set valve to FILTER for normal filtering. Also use for regular vacuuming.

BACKWASH–For cleaning filter. When filter pressure gauge rises 6-8 lbs. (2.7-3.6 kgs.) above start-up (clean pressure):

Stop the pump, set valve to BACKWASH. Start pump and backwash, approximately 2 minutes or less, depending on dirt accumulation, until water in sight glass is clear. Proceed to RINSE.

RINSE—

After backwashing, with pump off, set valve to

RINSE. Start pump and operate for about 1/2 to 1 minute. This

ensures that all dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of

the filter to waste, preventing possible return to the pool. Stop

pump, set valve to FILTER and start pump for normal filtering.

WATER— To bypass filter for draining or lowering water level and for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.

RECIRCULATE— Water is recirculated through the pool system, bypassing the filter.

CLOSED— Shuts off flow from pump to filter.

VACUUMING— Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter. When vacuuming heavy debris loads, set valve to WASTE position to bypass the filter and vacuum directly out to waste.
