5.1 Monteringstrin

1. Klargør tanken: Ensure the filter tank (cylinder) is clean and free of debris.
2. Installer afløbsstykke: Attach the drain piece to the bottom of the tank, ensuring the O-ring is properly seated for a watertight seal. Secure it with the cap.
3. Placering på basen: Position the filter tank securely onto the provided base.
4. Indsæt interne komponenter: Carefully insert the filter assembly (laterals) into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered.
5. Tilføj filtermedie: Slowly add the recommended amount of filter sand (44 lbs) or filter balls into the tank. Ensure the standpipe remains centered and covered to prevent media from entering it.
6. Clean Tank Rim: Wipe the rim of the tank clean to ensure a good seal with the valve head.
7. Attach Valve Head: Carefully place the 6-way valve head onto the tank, aligning the standpipe with the opening in the valve. Ensure the large O-ring is in place between the tank and the valve.
8. Secure Valve Head: Use the flange clamps, screws, and nuts to securely fasten the valve head to the tank. Tighten evenly.
9. Installer trykmåler: Apply sealing tape to the threads of the pressure gauge and screw it into the designated port on the valve head.
10. Connect Pump to Filter: Place the pump onto the base next to the filter tank. Connect the pump's outlet to the filter's inlet using the provided hose and hose clamps. Ensure all connections are tight.
11. Connect to Pool: Connect the pool's skimmer line to the pump's inlet and the pool's return line to the filter's outlet. Use appropriate connectors and hose clamps.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

Your FOTING Sand Filter Pump features a versatile 6-way valve and an intelligent timing system for optimal pool maintenance.

6.1 Funktioner af 6-vejs ventiler

The multi-port valve allows you to perform various operations by simply rotating the handle to the desired position. Always turn off the pump before changing valve positions.

• FILTER: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand media, trapping debris, and returns to the pool.
• TILBAGESKYLNING: Cleans the filter by reversing the water flow, flushing trapped debris out through the waste port. Perform when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above starting pressure.
• SKYLLE: Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining dirty water from the filter before returning to FILTER mode.
• SPILD: Bypasses the filter and sends water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
• LUKKET: Afbryder al flow til filteret og pumpen. Betjen aldrig pumpen med ventilen i LUKKET position.
• RECIRKULER: Circulates pool water without filtering it through the sand. Useful for mixing chemicals.

6.2 Intelligent Timing System

The pump features a 24-hour dual-mode intelligent timing system, allowing you to customize filtration cycles.

• Tidsindstillinger: Choose from 10 preset time settings (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 hours) for efficient operation.
• Enkeltcyklustilstand: The pump runs for the set duration and then turns off.
• Kontinuerlig cyklustilstand: The pump runs continuously until manually turned off.

7. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sand filter pump.

7.1 Backwashing and Rinsing

1. Sluk for pumpen.
2. Set the 6-way valve to BACKWASH.
3. Turn on the pump and backwash until the water flowing from the waste port is clear (typically 2-3 minutes).
4. Sluk for pumpen.
5. Set the 6-way valve to RINSE.
6. Tænd pumpen og skyl i 30-60 sekunder.
7. Sluk for pumpen.
