• Safety Certified: UL certification for energized wires ensures adherence to safety standards.
• Capacity: Suitable for pools up to 8000 gallons.
• Pump Performance: 1/3HP pump with a maximum flow rate of 2087 gallons per hour (GPH).

Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your VINGLI sand filter system. Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the package for specific assembly steps.

1. Positioning: Place the filter system on a firm, level surface, close to the pool and electrical outlet, ensuring adequate drainage.
2. Assemble Base and Tank: Secure the filter tank onto the base plate according to the manual.
3. Add Filter Media: Carefully add the recommended amount of filter sand or filter balls into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered during this process.
4. Install Multi-port Valve: Attach the multi-port valve to the top of the filter tank, ensuring a tight seal.
5. Connect Pump: Mount the pump to the base plate and connect it to the multi-port valve using the provided hoses and clamps.
6. Connect to Pool: Connect the pool's skimmer/main drain line to the pump's suction inlet and the pool's return line to the multi-port valve's return outlet (typically labeled "RETURN"). Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. The outlet size of the connecting hose is 1.25 inches.
7. Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the pump's requirements (115V).
8. Prime the Pump: Before starting, ensure the pump is primed by filling it with water to prevent dry running.

Operating Instructions

The multi-port valve controls the flow of water through the filter system. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.

Multi-port Valve Functions:

• FILTER: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the filter media and returns to the pool.
• BACKWASH: Cleans the filter media by reversing water flow, discharging dirty water to waste. Use when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above normal clean pressure.
• RINSE: Used after backwashing to flush out remaining dirt from the filter media and settle the sand.
• RECIRCULATE: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
• WASTE: Drains water directly from the pool to waste, bypassing the filter. Useful for lowering pool water level or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
• WINTER: Used for winterizing the system. Positions the valve to prevent damage from freezing.
• CLOSED: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Use only when servicing the pump or filter.

24-Hour Timer Operation:

The integrated timer allows you to preset the pump to run automatically. You can set it for cycles from 1 to 20 hours or choose continuous operation. Consult the pump's specific timer instructions for detailed programming steps.

Maintenance

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

• Backwashing and Rinsing: Perform backwash and rinse cycles regularly, or when the pressure gauge indicates a rise of 8-10 PSI above the clean operating pressure.
• Pump Basket Cleaning: Periodically check and clean the pump's strainer basket to remove debris that can restrict flow.
• Filter Media Replacement: Sand filter media typically needs replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Filter balls may require cleaning or replacement more frequently.
• Winterizing: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump, filter, and plumbing lines. Set the multi-port valve to the "WINTER" position. Store the pump in a dry, protected area if possible.
• General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump and filter clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage plastic components.
