4. 操作手順

The FOTING sand filter pump features a 6-way valve for various functions and an intelligent timing system for automated operation.

6-Way Valve Functions:

The multi-port valve allows you to perform different operations by rotating the handle to the desired position. Always turn off the pump before changing valve positions.

Image: A visual guide to the 6-way valve, detailing each position and its corresponding function for pool water management.

  1. フィルター: Normal filtering mode. Water passes through the filter media and returns to the pool.
  2. バックウォッシュ: Reverses water flow through the filter to clean the filter media. Water is discharged to waste.
  3. リンス: Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining debris from the filter and lines before returning to FILTER mode. Water is discharged to waste.
  4. 無駄: Bypasses the filter and pumps water directly out of the pool to waste. Useful for lowering water level or vacuuming heavy debris.
  5. 休業: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Never use while the pump is running.
  6. 循環: フィルターをバイパスし、水をプールに直接循環させます。ろ過せずに薬品を混ぜるのに便利です。

Intelligent Timing System:

The pump features a 24-hour dual-mode intelligent timing system, allowing you to set specific operating schedules.

  • シングルサイクルモード: Set a specific duration for the pump to run (e.g., 8 hours). The pump will run for the set time and then turn off.
  • 連続サイクルモード: The pump will run continuously until manually turned off or the timer is reset.
  • Refer to the control panel (image below) for setting the timer.
