Pool water will come in through the pool pump, be filtered through the sand filter and released to the chlorinator before returning back to the pool. If you have a pool heater, the pool filter will release water to the heater before going to the chlorinator. Step 3 The pool filter should be installed on a level concrete slab not more than 6 feet above the pool water level.
Position the pool sand filter so that the piping connections, multiport valve and drain are convenient and accessible for operation and maintenance. Place the filter next to pump. Step 4 Before you connect the pool sand filter into the piping system, you have to assemble the filter. If the threads aren't prepared, wrap them with two layers of Teflon tape.
Start in a clockwise direction at the first thread with a half-width overlap for the full length of the thread. Be careful when screwing the gauge on. Use a wrench on the square nut on the final turns. Please click here to view teflon tape. Step 5 Make sure drain cap is securely in place. This will help protect the laterals. Step 7 Next you will be installing pipe and lateral assembly inside the tank.
Separate the valve from the pipe and lateral assembly. Also make sure the 10 laterals at the end of the pipe are rotated up. They have to be in their up position to fit through the hole in the top of the tank. These laterals are somewhat fragile. Ensure that none are cracked or broken. Place the pipe and lateral assembly inside the tank. Step 8 After the lateral assembly is inside, carefully rotate the 10 laterals 90 degrees in their down position.
Step 9 Make use the pipe is centered in the opening. Tape the top of the pipe to prevent sand from entering and clogging the laterals. Step 10 The sand filter package comes with a cardboard sand shield. Place this over the pipe and within the opening. Step 11 Pour sand carefully into the pool sand filter until laterals are fully covered. For this unit 3 bags should leave at least 6" space between the top of the sand and the top of the filter.
Level sand as you pour and make sure the center pipe remains centered in the opening. Be careful when leveling the sand that you do not lift the pipe and lateral assemble up off the bottom of the tank. You will not be able to push the pipe back down without causing the laterals to rotate up. Please click here to view the magic lube o ring lubricant. Step 13 Remove tape from top of pipe.
Slip the Multiport control valve onto the central pipe - check the O-ring to ensure it is positioned correctly. Step 14 Install clamp around the tank and valve flange. Loosely tighten clamp so that the valve can be rotated on the tank for final positioning. Wait until all pressure is relieved.
Skimmers and returns locations should be placed intentionally. The influent line brings water into the filter while the effluent line provides an outlet for the filtered water. Learn how to connect an above ground swimming pool filter to your pool. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during servicing.
Within a couple feet of the skimmer in the pool, measure out the area for the pump and filter. Measure the area needed for the pump and filter to sit on. Note that each filter will have different installation instructions. The pool pump setup is usually located next to the filter in a concrete pit or recess below the water level of the pool so water flows by gravity into the pump.
Sand filters are the easiest type of filter to operate and maintain. Pump, filter, heater, cleaner pump, chlorinator, salt system, ionizer or mineral purifier.
