FILTER SAND CHANGE (for those do-it-yourselfers)
1.
Determine
size of filter and purchase adequate sand required.
2.
Shut
off pump and remove drain cap to allow water to drain from filter tank.
3.
Remove
the multi-port valve from the filter tank, sliding it carefully from the sand
pipe.
4.
Using
a shop vac (wet or dry), remove all sand from filter tank.
5.
Carefully
remove, wash and inspect the lateral assembly for any breaks or signs of
damage.
6.
Replace
lateral assembly and drain plug.
7.
With
garden hose, add enough water to tank to cover the laterals.
8.
Make
sure the top of the sand pipe is fully covered with tape or a Styrofoam cup as
it is important not to get sand down the pipe.
9.
Carefully
begin adding new sand, one bag at a time, making sure it lays somewhat level in
the tank.
10. Wipe off any excess sand from top of
tank
11. Replace multi-port valve and tighten
clamp
12. Set valve to “backwash” and run for 3
minutes, then shut off pump, set to “rinse” and run for one minute. This ensures that any
sediment within the new sand are discharged and not returned to the pool.
13. Turn off pump, place valve assembly in
“filter” mode and turn Pump back on.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TURN PUMP OFF PRIOR TO CHANGING FILTER
