Pump location and mounting:

The system must be installed on a solid level and vibration-free base.
Provide a location protected from the weather, moisture, flooding and freezing temperature.
Provide adequate access, space and lighting for routine maintenance.
The pump motor requires free circulation of air for cooling. Do not install the pump in a damp or non-ventilated location.

A team of 2 or more people is recommended for setting up this product.

Motor pre-filtering assembly setup

Remove the sand filter and its accessories from the packaging carefully and inspect for any visible damage. For missing or damaged parts contact the appropriate Intex Service Center listed in the separate “Authorized service Centers” sheet.
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the leaf trap cover (14) from the pre-filter housing. Take out the basket (16) and filter housing nut (17) (see drawing 10).
Connect the pre-filter housing to the motor water inlet. Note: Align the connector in the pre-filter housing with the water inlet on the motor (see drawing 11).
In a clockwise motion screw filter housing nut (17) onto the motor water inlet (see drawings 12.1 & 12.2).
Replace the basket (16) and leaf trap cover (14) back to the pre-filter housing (see drawings 13.1 & 13.2).

Sand tank installation

Place the tank support base on the selected location.
Place the tank on the tank support base (see drawing 14.1).
Connect the motor pre-filtering assembly unit to the tank support base (see drawing 14.2).
NOTE: Ensure the pre-filter housing water inlet hose connection is facing towards the pool.
IMPORTANT: Some countries, especially in the European community, require the product to be secured to the ground or to a base in a permanent upright position. Check your local authorities to determine if there is a regulation in your area regarding above-the-ground swimming pool filter-pumps. If yes, then the product can be mounted to a platform using the two holes located in the base. See drawing 14.3.
The product can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden plat form to prevent accidental falling over.
- The mounting holes are 6.4 mm in diameter and spaced 100 mm for model SF80110-1 (spaced 115 mm for model SF70110-1 & SF60110-1) apart.
- Use two bolts and lock nuts with a maximum of 6.4 mm in diameter.

Sand loading

IMPORTANT: Use No. 20 silica sand or glass sand with particle size range 0.45 to 0.85 mm (0.018 to 0.033 inches) and a Uniformity Coefficient less than 1.75.
NOTE: Before loading the tank with sand, ensure the center pipe hub assembly is securely in place at the bottom of the tank, and vertically centered inside the tank.

Place the sand shield (6) over the top of the center pipe. Pour the sand into the tank at a slow rate (see drawing 15).
Fill the tank approximately half way, remove the sand shield (6) from the top (see drawing 16).
Evenly distribute the sand inside the tank, then fill the tank with some water to provide a cushioning effect when the remaining sand is poured in. This prevents the center pipe hub (7) from excessive shock (see drawing 17). Place the sand shield (6) back and continue to pour the sand into the tank.
Sand shall be filled between the “MAX” and “MIN” marked gauge on the center pipe. Evenly spread and level out the sand by hand (see drawings 17 & 18).
Remove the sand shield (6).
Wash away all sand around the top edge of the tank.

Initial startup and operation

Before operating, be sure that:

All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand have been loaded.
The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD).

CAUTION: The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should never be on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is operated with the valve closed, explosive situation could exist.

Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves to allow water to flow into the sand filter pump. With water flowing into sand filter pump, the water pressure will allow the air trapped inside to escape from the air release valves (19). When all the air has escaped water will flow out of the valves (19). When this occurs gently finger tighten the valves (19) in a clockwise direction.
Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not covered and directed to a proper draining receptacle.
Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and turn 2 it to the “BACKWASH” position (see drawings 24 & 29).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve, always depress the valve handle before turning.Always switch off pump before changing the 6-way valve position.
Switch on the pump (see drawing 30). Water is circulating backward through the sand media and to waste/drain outlet. Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed in the waste/drain outlet or through the drain sediment window.
NOTE: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand media.
Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “RINSE” position (see drawing 25).
Switch on the pump and run the pump for about one minute to level out the sand bed after backwashing the sand media.
Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “FILTER” position (see drawing 23).
Switch on the pump. The system is now operating in the normal filtering mode. Run the pump until the desired pool water clearance is obtained and no more than 12 hours per day.
Record the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter media is clean.

NOTE: During initial setup of the system, it may be necessary to backwash frequently due to unusual heavy dirt present in the water and sand. After that, as the filter removes dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulated dirt in the sand media will cause the pressure to rise and the flow to diminish. If there is no vacuuming device attached to the system and the pressure gauge reading is in the yellow zone it is time to backwash the sand media, see “BACKWASH” under “initial startup and operation” section. Vacuuming device (i.e. Intex auto pool cleaner) attached to the system may also cause the flow to diminish and the pressure to rise. Remove any vacuuming device from the system and check if the pressure gauge reading has dropped from the yellow zone to the green zone.

Operating the system under “TIMER” mode or manually:

To operate the sand filter pump in “FILTER” mode under “TIMER” control:

Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table (see drawing 31).
Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “ ” position, the sand filter pump is now filtering the water and will stop after the operating hours are completed. The built-in timer will now operate for the number of hours selected at the same time each day.
Operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Follow step A – B.

To operate the sand filter pump manually (without the “TIMER” mode):

Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “-” position, the sand filter pump is now filtering the water.
To turn off the pump, press the switch to “O” position.

IMPORTANT
If you continue to experience difficulty, please contact our Consumer Service Department for assistance. See separate “Authorized Service Centers” sheet.

MOTORCYCLE PRE-FILTER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure the filter pump is turned off, then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Turn both plunger valve handles fully clockwise until they stop. This closes the valves, preventing water from flowing out of the pool.
Release the pressure first by opening the sediment release valve (19) located on the bottom side of the pre-filter housing (see figure 32).
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the leaf trap cover (14), then remove the basket (16) and leaf trap o-ring (15) from the pre-filter housing (see drawing 33).
Empty and flush the basket using a garden hose, you can use a plastic brush to remove sediment from the basket. Do not use metal brushes.
Clean and rinse the inside of the pre-filter container and leaf trap O-ring with a garden hose.
Reinstall the leaf trap O-ring, basket and leaf trap cover into the pre-filter housing.
Close the sediment release valve (19) again.

POOL CARE & CHEMICALS

All pools require maintenance to keep their water clear and hygienic. With proper chemical control, your filter will help achieve this goal. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions on the proper use of chlorine, algaecide, and other chemicals necessary for sparkling clear water.
Keep pool chemicals away from children.
Do not add chemicals to the pool while it is filling. Skin or eye irritation may occur.
Daily pH checking and chemical maintenance of the water are essential and cannot be overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide, and maintenance of proper pH levels are necessary when filling the pool as well as throughout the season. Consult your local pool supply store for instructions.
The first filling of the pool season may have brackish water that requires additional water additions and additional filtration time. Do not allow swimming in the pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult your local pool supply store for instructions.
Chlorinated water can damage grass, gardens, or shrubs when children play in the pool and splash water out of the pool. The grass area under the pond liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of grass can grow through the liner.
Filter run times vary depending on pool size, weather, and usage levels. Experiment with different run times to produce clear, clean water.

CAUTION
Concentrated chlorine solutions can damage pool liners. Always follow chemical manufacturer's instructions, as well as health and hazard warnings.

LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION

CAUTION
Allowing water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty. If an antifreeze solution is necessary, use only propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other antifreezes are very toxic and can damage plastic components in the system.

Before emptying your pool for long-term storage, or relocation, make sure the water is directed to an acceptable drain away from the house. Check local regulations for specific instructions regarding pool water disposal.
Turn off the unit, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from the pump and plunger valve and remove the strainer/plunger valve from the pool wall.
In a counterclockwise motion, unscrew the drain valve (9) from the drain valve to drain the tank completely. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.
Remove the pump motor from the bottom of the tank.
Leave the sand filter pump pieces and hose outside until completely dry.
Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long-term storage:
- L-shaped O-ring (11 & 18).
- Pump hose O-ring (22).
- Step washer filter valve assembly (23).
- Flat filter rubber washer (25).
Press the 6-way valve handle and turn it to set the pointer to the top “N” position of the valve.
This allows water to flow from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this off position.
It is best to place all dry parts and pump motors in their original packaging for storage. To avoid condensation or corrosion problems, do not cover or wrap the pump motor with plastic bags.
Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage temperature should be controlled, between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
