4. Operacija

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:

• filter: Normal filtering mode. Water passes through the sand bed, trapping debris.
• povratno pranje: Reverses water flow to clean the sand bed. This expels trapped debris out through the waste port.
• Ispiranje: Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush any remaining dirty water to waste.
• Recirkulacija: Bypasses the filter bed to circulate water without filtering. Useful for mixing chemicals.
• Odvod: Ispušta vodu direktno iz bazena kroz otvor za otpadne vode, zaobilazeći filter.
• zatvoreno: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pool. Use this setting when performing maintenance on the pump or pool.

Važno: Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.

4.2. Ugrađeni tajmer

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. Brzina protoka

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. Održavanje

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

5.1. Povratno ispiranje

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. Isključite pumpu.
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. Isključite pumpu.
5. Set the multi-port valve to the 'Rinse' position.
6. Turn on the pump for 30-60 seconds to settle the sand.
7. Isključite pumpu.
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.
