6. Betjeningsvejledning
The FOTING Sand Filter Pump features a 6-way valve and a built-in timer for versatile operation.
6.1. 6-Way Valve Functions
The multi-port valve allows you to select different modes of operation. Always turn off the pump before changing valve positions.
This image visually represents the six operational modes of the multi-port valve, along with a pressure gauge. Each mode is clearly labeled, indicating its specific function for pool maintenance.
- FILTER: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand bed, trapping debris.
- TILBAGESKYLNING: Reverses water flow to clean the sand bed and flush trapped debris out through the waste port.
- SKYLLE: Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush out any remaining dirty water from the valve.
- SPILD: Bypasses the filter and sends water directly out the waste port, useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
- RECIRKULER: Bypasses the filter and circulates water directly back to the pool, useful for mixing chemicals without filtering.
- LUKKET: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Use for servicing the pump or filter.
6.2. Timerindstillinger
The built-in timer allows for automated filtration cycles.
This image displays the digital timer interface, showing options for setting filtration duration from 1 to 20 hours, and selecting between single or continuous cycle modes. It highlights the ease of programming for automated operation.
- Indstillingstid: Use the control panel to select desired operating hours (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 hours).
- Cyklustilstande: Choose between Single Cycle Mode (runs once for the set duration) or Continuous Cycle Mode (runs continuously until manually stopped).
- Refer to the timer section in the full user manual for detailed programming steps.

- Tilbageskylning: Perform backwashing when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above its clean operating pressure, or when water flow significantly decreases.
- Skylning: Always rinse for 30-60 seconds after backwashing to prevent dirty water from returning to the pool.
- Rengøring af filterkurv: Regularly check and clean the pump's pre-filter basket to remove large debris. Turn off the pump and release pressure before opening.
- Vinterisering: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump, filter, and hoses. Store the pump in a dry, protected area.
- Sandudskiftning: Filter sand typically needs replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage.
