4. Setup u Installazzjoni

1. Pjazzament: Position the sand filter pump on a firm, level surface near your above-ground pool. Ensure it is easily accessible for maintenance and protected from direct weather exposure if possible.
2. Adding Filter Media: Carefully add the recommended amount of filter sand (42 lbs) or filter balls into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered during this process to prevent sand from entering it.
3. Manek tal-Konnessjoni: Connect the pool's skimmer/intake hose to the pump's inlet and the pump's outlet to the filter tank's inlet. Connect the filter tank's return outlet to the pool's return jet. Secure all connections with clamps to prevent leaks. The system includes 1.25"/1.5" NPSM threaded connections.
4. Ipprajmjar il-Pompa: Before starting, ensure the pump is primed by filling the pump basket with water until it overflows. Secure the lid.
5. Konnessjoni Elettrika: Plug the 3-prong power cable into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The XtremepowerUS Sand Filter Pump features a multi-port valve with several settings and an integrated digital timer for convenient operation.

5.1 Multi-Port Valve Settings

The 4-way valve allows you to select different operational modes. Dejjem itfi l-pompa qabel ma tbiddel il-pożizzjoni tal-valv.

• FILTRI: This is the standard operating mode for daily filtration. Water is pumped through the sand bed, filtered, and returned to the pool.
• BACKWASH: Used to clean the filter media. Water flow is reversed, flushing accumulated debris out through the waste port.
• LAĦLAĦ: Used after backwashing to flush any remaining debris from the filter lines before returning to FILTER mode.
• SKART: Drains water directly from the pool, bypassing the filter. Useful for lowering pool water level or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
• RE-CIRCULATE: Circulates pool water without passing it through the filter. Useful for distributing chemicals without filtering.
• MAGĦLUQ: Stops water flow completely. Use this setting when performing maintenance on the pump or filter.
• IXTIWA: Prepares the system for winter storage.

5.2 Digital Timer Function

The integrated digital timer allows you to program the pump's run time for automated operation, ensuring consistent filtration.

Use the 'TIMES' button to select the desired operating duration (e.g., 2h, 4h, 6h, up to 24h). The pump will run for the selected duration and then automatically shut off. Press 'ON/OFF' to manually start or stop the pump.

6. Manutenzjoni

Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura l-lonġevità u l-prestazzjoni ottimali tal-pompa tal-filtru tar-ramel tiegħek.

6.1 Ħasil ​​lura tal-Filtru

Backwashing is crucial for cleaning the filter sand. Perform backwashing when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above its clean starting pressure, or when pool water flow is noticeably reduced.

1. Itfi l-pompa.
2. Set the multi-port valve to 'BACKWASH'.
3. Turn on the pump and run until the water flowing out of the waste port is clear (typically 2-3 minutes).
4. Itfi l-pompa.
5. Set the multi-port valve to 'RINSE'.
6. Ixgħel il-pompa u ħalliha taħdem għal 30-60 sekonda.
7. Itfi l-pompa.
8. Set the multi-port valve back to 'FILTER'.
9. Ixgħel il-pompa biex terġa' tibda l-filtrazzjoni normali.

6.2 Cleaning the Pump Basket

The pump's pre-filter basket collects larger debris before it reaches the filter. Check and clean it regularly.

1. Itfi l-pompa u skonnettja l-enerġija.
2. Agħlaq kwalunkwe valv meħtieġ biex tevita l-fluss tal-ilma mill-pixxina.
3. Remove the transparent lid of the pump basket.
4. Remove and empty the basket. Rinse it thoroughly.
5. Inspect the O-ring on the lid for damage and ensure it is clean. Lubricate if necessary.
6. Replace the basket and secure the lid tightly.
7. Restore power and open valves before restarting the pump.

6.3 Winterization

Before freezing temperatures arrive, prepare your pump and filter for winter storage.

1. Perform a final backwash and rinse.
2. Itfi l-pompa u skonnettja l-enerġija.
3. Drain all water from the pump, filter tank, and hoses. Remove drain plugs.
4. Disconnect all hoses and store them in a dry, protected area.
