4. الإعداد والتثبيت
Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1. اختيار الموقع
- Place the filter on a firm, level surface, preferably concrete, to prevent settling.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
- Allow sufficient space around the filter for maintenance and service.
4.2. Filling with Filter Media (Sand)
- Ensure the internal standpipe and laterals are properly assembled and secured.
- Place a plastic bag or cover over the standpipe opening to prevent sand from entering.
- Carefully pour the recommended amount and grade of filter sand into the tank.
- Remove the plastic bag/cover and ensure no sand has entered the standpipe.
4.3. Multi-port Valve Installation
- Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the filter tank, aligning the standpipe with the valve's opening.
- قم بتثبيت الصمام على الخزان باستخدام المشبك المرفق.amp or bolts, ensuring a tight seal.
- Connect the plumbing from the pump to the "PUMP" port on the valve.
- Connect the plumbing to the pool return lines to the "RETURN" port on the valve.
- Connect a waste line to the "WASTE" port on the valve, directing water to an appropriate drainage area.
- Install the pressure gauge into the designated port on the valve.
5. تعليمات التشغيل
The multi-port valve controls the filter's functions. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.
5.1. Multi-port Valve Positions
- فلتر: وضع الترشيح العادي. يتدفق الماء عبر الرمل، ويتم تنظيفه، ثم يعود إلى المسبح.
- الغسيل العكسي: Cleans the filter sand. Water flows in reverse, flushing trapped debris out the waste line.
- شطف: Used after backwashing to settle the sand and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to FILTER mode.
- الصرف الصحي/المصرف: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly from the pool to the waste line. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
- إعادة التدوير: يتجاوز هذا النظام الفلتر، ويعيد تدوير الماء مباشرة إلى حوض السباحة. وهو مفيد لتوزيع المواد الكيميائية دون الحاجة إلى الترشيح.
- مغلق: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use for servicing the pump or filter.
5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)
- Ensure the pool is filled to the proper level and all plumbing connections are secure.
- اضبط الصمام متعدد المنافذ على الغسيل العكسي.
- قم بتشغيل المضخة. قم بالغسل العكسي لمدة 2-3 دقائق، أو حتى يصبح الماء في زجاجة الرؤية (إن وجدت) صافياً.
- أوقف تشغيل المضخة.
- اضبط الصمام متعدد المنافذ على شطف.
- شغّل المضخة. اشطف لمدة 30-60 ثانية.
- أوقف تشغيل المضخة.
- اضبط الصمام متعدد المنافذ على فلتر.
- Turn on the pump. Note the initial pressure gauge reading; this is your clean filter pressure.
6. الصيانة
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your filter.
6.1. Backwashing
Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.5-0.7 bar) above the clean filter pressure, or when pool water clarity decreases. Follow the steps outlined in "5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)" for each backwash cycle.
6.2. تجهيز المكان لفصل الشتاء (إن وجد)
- أوقف تشغيل المضخة وافصل الطاقة.
- اضبط الصمام متعدد المنافذ على الشتاء (if available) or an intermediate position between two settings to relieve pressure on the gasket.
- Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the filter tank to completely drain all water.
- Disconnect all plumbing lines and store them in a dry, frost-free area.
- Remove the pressure gauge and store it indoors.
- Cover the filter to protect it from elements.
