4. سيٽ اپ ۽ تنصيب
مناسب اسيمبلي ۽ تنصيب لاءِ هنن قدمن تي عمل ڪريو:
- پوزيشن: Place the filter system on a firm, level surface, preferably below the pool's water level, and at least 10 feet from the pool. Ensure adequate drainage.
- ريت سان ڀريو: Remove the multi-port valve and carefully pour the recommended amount of filter sand (up to 100 lbs) into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered during this process. Do not overfill.
- ملٽي پورٽ والو انسٽال ڪريو: Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the tank, ensuring it seats properly on the standpipe. Secure it with the provided clamp يا بولٽ.
- ڳنڍڻ پمپ: Attach the pump to the filter tank using the provided plumbing. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- پول ڪنيڪشن: Connect the filter system to your pool's skimmer and return lines. For soft-sided pools, use the included 40mm to 1.5'' filter hose connection kit for proper fitment.
- برقي ڪنيڪشن: پمپ کي گرائونڊ ٿيل بجلي جي آئوٽليٽ ۾ لڳايو. پڪ ڪريو ته سرڪٽ گرائونڊ فالٽ سرڪٽ انٽرپٽر (GFCI) سان محفوظ آهي.
- پرائم دي پمپ: Before starting, ensure the pump basket is filled with water. Open all necessary valves to allow water to flow from the pool to the pump.

5. Operating the Filter System
The multi-port valve controls the flow of water through the filter system. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.
Image 5.1: Diagram illustrating the various settings and functions of the multi-port valve.
Multi-Port Valve Settings:
- فلٽر: عام فلٽرنگ موڊ. پاڻي ريتي مان وهندو آهي، صاف ڪيو ويندو آهي، ۽ تلاءَ ۾ واپس ڪيو ويندو آهي.
- پوئتي ڌوئڻ: Cleans the filter sand by reversing water flow. Water is discharged through the waste port. Perform when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above starting pressure.
- رين: Used after backwashing to flush dirty water from the valve and settle the sand. Water is discharged through the waste port.
- ضايع ڪرڻ: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering pool water level.
- ٻيهر گردش: فلٽر کي نظرانداز ڪري ٿو، پاڻي کي سڌو سنئون تلاءَ ۾ واپس گردش ڪري ٿو. فلٽر ڪرڻ کان سواءِ ڪيميائي ورڇ لاءِ مفيد.
- بند ٿيل: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Do not operate the pump in this position.
- سياري: فلٽر سسٽم کي سياري ۾ رکڻ جي پوزيشن.
Initial Startup Procedure:
- Ensure the pump is primed and all connections are secure.
- Set the multi-port valve to the پٺاڻ پوزيشن.
- Turn on the pump and backwash for 2-3 minutes, or until water in the sight glass runs clear.
- پمپ بند ڪريو.
- Set the multi-port valve to the INوء پوزيشن.
- پمپ کي چالو ڪريو ۽ 30-60 سيڪنڊن لاءِ ڌوئو.
- پمپ بند ڪريو.
- Set the multi-port valve to the فلٽر پوزيشن.
- Turn on the pump. The system is now operating in normal filter mode. Note the initial pressure gauge reading.
6. سار سنڀال
باقاعده پوئتي ڌوئڻ:
Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above the clean filter's starting pressure, or when water clarity diminishes. Follow the backwash and rinse procedure outlined in Section 5.
ريتي جي متبادل:
Filter sand typically lasts approximately 5 years, depending on water chemistry and backwashing frequency. Replace sand when filtration efficiency decreases despite regular backwashing.
Pump Strainer Basket Cleaning:
Periodically inspect and clean the pump's strainer basket to ensure optimal water flow and prevent debris buildup. Turn off the pump, close necessary valves, remove the lid, empty the basket, and replace.
سياري ڪرڻ:
Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the filter tank and pump. Disconnect hoses and store components in a dry, protected area. Set the multi-port valve to the سيارو پوزيشن.
7. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ
هيٺ ڏنل عام مسئلن ۽ حلن جو حوالو ڏيو:
| مسئلو | ممڪن سبب | حل |
