4. سيٽ اپ ۽ تنصيب
Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1. سائيٽ جي چونڊ
- 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)
- پڪ ڪريو ته اندروني اسٽينڊ پائپ ۽ ليٽرل صحيح طرح سان گڏ ۽ محفوظ آهن.
- 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.
- Secure the valve to the tank using the provided clamp 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. آپريٽنگ هدايتون
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
- فلٽر: عام فلٽرنگ موڊ. پاڻي ريتي مان وهندو آهي، صاف ڪيو ويندو آهي، ۽ تلاءَ ۾ واپس ڪيو ويندو آهي.
- پوئتي ڌوئڻ: Cleans the filter sand. Water flows in reverse, flushing trapped debris out the waste line.
- رين: Used after backwashing to settle the sand and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to FILTER mode.
- ڪچرو/نالي: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly from the pool to the waste line. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
- ٻيهر گردش: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
- بند ٿيل: فلٽر ڏانهن سڀ وهڪري بند ڪري ٿو. پمپ يا فلٽر جي سروسنگ لاءِ استعمال ڪريو.
5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)
- Ensure the pool is filled to the proper level and all plumbing connections are secure.
- Set the multi-port valve to پٺاڻ.
- Turn on the pump. Backwash for 2-3 minutes, or until the water in the sight glass (if present) runs clear.
- پمپ بند ڪريو.
- Set the multi-port valve to INوء.
- Turn on the pump. Rinse for 30-60 seconds.
- پمپ بند ڪريو.
- Set the multi-port valve to فلٽر.
- Turn on the pump. Note the initial pressure gauge reading; this is your clean filter pressure.
6. سار سنڀال
باقاعده سار سنڀال بهترين ڪارڪردگي کي يقيني بڻائي ٿي ۽ توهان جي فلٽر جي زندگي کي وڌائي ٿي.
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. سياري جي موسم (جيڪڏهن لاڳو هجي)
- پمپ بند ڪريو ۽ بجلي بند ڪريو.
- Set the multi-port valve to سياري (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.
