4.1 Sand Filter System Operation

The Sandman sand filter system is designed to keep your pool water clean and clear. Refer to the separate Sandman filter manual for detailed instructions on initial setup, backwashing, rinsing, and filtering.

• Ensure the filter is filled with the correct amount of filter sand (approximately 110 lbs).
• Connect the pump to a GFCI-protected outlet.
