2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your VEVOR sand filter. The system comes with threaded joints and 1-1/2" inlet/outlet fittings for straightforward assembly. Please follow these general steps for installation:
- Positioning the Filter: Place the filter tank on a stable, level surface near your pool, ensuring adequate space for maintenance and connections.
- Assembling the Base: Secure the filter tank onto its base. The security buckle helps stabilize the unit.
- Adding Filter Media: Fill the tank with the recommended 20# sand. Refer to the product specifications for the correct sand capacity.
- Connecting the Multi-Port Valve: Attach the 7-way multi-port valve to the top of the filter tank. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Connecting to the Pool Pump: Connect the filter system to your pool pump using the 1-1/2" inlet/outlet fittings. Ensure all hoses and pipes are securely fastened.
- Initial Startup: Before operating, ensure the pump is primed and the system is free of air.

3. Operating Instructions (7-Way Multi-Port Valve)
The 7-way multi-port valve provides various operational modes for comprehensive pool maintenance. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage to the system.
- Filter: This is the standard operating mode for daily filtration, circulating water through the sand media to remove impurities.
- Backwash: Used to clean the filter sand by reversing the water flow, flushing trapped debris out of the filter and into the waste line.
- Rinse: After backwashing, this mode settles the sand bed and flushes any remaining dirty water from the valve to the waste line before returning to filter mode.
- Recirculate: Circulates pool water without passing it through the filter media. Useful for mixing chemicals without filtering.
- Waste: Drains water directly from the pool to the waste line, bypassing the filter. Useful for lowering pool water level or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
- Winter: Used for winterizing the filter system, allowing for proper drainage and preventing freezing damage.
- Closed: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Use this setting only when the pump is off and you are performing maintenance on the system.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your VEVOR sand filter system. Key maintenance tasks include backwashing, rinsing, and proper winterization.
Backwashing and Rinsing
Monitor the pressure gauge on the multi-port valve. When the pressure rises 8-10 PSI above the clean filter pressure, it's time to backwash. This indicates that the filter sand has accumulated debris and needs cleaning. After backwashing, always perform a rinse cycle to settle the sand bed.
Winter Maintenance
The integrated drain plug simplifies winter maintenance. By allowing water to flow slowly through the pipes, it helps prevent freezing and potential damage to the system during colder months. Ensure the system is completely drained and set to the "Winter" position on the multi-port valve.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VEVOR sand filter, consult the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Cloudy Water: This often indicates that the filter needs backwashing or the sand media is old and needs replacement. Ensure proper chemical balance in the pool.
- Low Flow Rate: Check the pressure gauge; if it's high, backwash the filter. Also, inspect the pump basket and skimmer basket for debris. Ensure all valves are fully open.
- Leaks: Inspect all connections, O-rings, and gaskets for proper seating and damage. Tighten any loose fittings.
- Pump Not Priming: Ensure the water level in the pool is adequate. Check for air leaks in the suction line or pump lid.
For persistent issues, refer to the detailed user manual provided with your product or contact VEVOR customer support.
