4. Działanie

The sand filter pump features a 6-function control valve and a built-in timer for convenient operation.

4.1. 6-Function Control Valve

The multi-port valve allows you to select different modes of operation:

• Filtr: Normal filtering mode. Water passes through the sand bed, trapping debris.
• Płukanie wsteczne: Reverses water flow to clean the sand bed. This expels trapped debris out through the waste port.
• Wypłukać: Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush any remaining dirty water to waste.
• Recyrkulacja: Bypasses the filter bed to circulate water without filtering. Useful for mixing chemicals.
• Drenaż: Drains water directly from the pool through the waste port, bypassing the filter.
• Zamknięte: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pool. Use this setting when performing maintenance on the pump or pool.

Ważny: Aby zapobiec uszkodzeniom, przed zmianą położenia zaworu należy zawsze wyłączyć pompę.

4.2. Wbudowany timer

The pump includes a 24-hour automatic timer to set the operating time. This allows for hassle-free pool maintenance. To set the timer, turn the pump on at the desired start time and select the duration. The pump will then operate daily for the set duration at that time.

4.3. Przepływ

This pump provides a flow rate of 2,800 gallons per hour (GPH), resulting in a system flow rate of 2,150 GPH. This ensures efficient circulation and filtration for above-ground pools up to 24 feet in diameter or 32x16 feet rectangular.

5. Konserwacja

Regularna konserwacja zapewnia długowieczność i optymalną wydajność pompy z filtrem piaskowym.

5.1. Backwashing

Monitor the pressure gauge on the multi-port valve. When the pressure rises 5-10 PSI above its normal operating pressure, it's time to backwash the filter. This process cleans the sand bed by reversing water flow.

1. Wyłącz pompę.
2. Set the multi-port valve to the 'Backwash' position.
3. Turn on the pump. Backwash until the water flowing out of the waste port is clear (typically 1-2 minutes).
4. Wyłącz pompę.
5. Set the multi-port valve to the 'Rinse' position.
6. Turn on the pump for 30-60 seconds to settle the sand.
7. Wyłącz pompę.
8. Set the multi-port valve back to the 'Filter' position.
9. Turn on the pump for normal operation.

5.2. Strainer Basket Cleaning

The pump includes a strainer basket to catch larger debris before it reaches the sand filter. Regularly check and clean the strainer basket to maintain optimal flow and prevent pump damage.

1. Turn off the pump and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Close the plunger valves on the pool's inlet and outlet to prevent water flow.
3. Unscrew the strainer cover and remove the basket.
4. Empty and rinse the basket.
5. Replace the basket and secure the cover.
6. Open the plunger valves and reconnect power to the pump.
