Nastavitev in namestitev

Proper setup is crucial for the performance and longevity of your sand filter pump. Ensure the pump is placed on a firm, level surface, at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) away from the pool.

1. Assembling the Base and Tank

1. Place the pump motor onto the base platform.
2. Secure the filter tank to the base, ensuring it is stable.

2. Adding Filter Media (Sand)

The Intex SX1500 requires approximately 12 kg (26.5 lbs) of #20 silica sand (0.45-0.85 mm) or Intex Glass Filter Media. Do not use gravel or coarse sand.

1. Remove the 6-way valve from the tank.
2. Pokrijte odprtino dvižne cevi v notranjosti rezervoarja, da preprečite vdor peska.
3. Carefully pour the filter sand into the tank.
4. Fill the tank with water until it covers the sand. This helps cushion the laterals.
5. Remove the standpipe cover and reattach the 6-way valve, ensuring a tight seal.

3. Connecting Hoses to the Pool

Ensure your pool has the correct size connections (38mm / 1.5 inches) for the pump hoses. Adapters may be required for smaller pool connections.

1. Connect one hose from the pool's return fitting (water going back to the pool) to the "RETURN" port on the 6-way valve.
2. Connect another hose from the pool's suction fitting (water coming from the pool) to the "PUMP" port on the pump motor.
3. Connect a short hose from the "TANK" port on the 6-way valve to the pump motor's outlet.
4. Connect a backwash hose to the "WASTE" port on the 6-way valve, directing it to an appropriate drainage area.
5. Vse cevne povezave zavarujte s tesnilno masoamps.

4. Polnjenje črpalke

Before starting, ensure the pump is primed to prevent airlocks and damage.

1. Ensure the pool water level is above the suction and return fittings.
2. Odprite ventil za izpust zraka na vrhu črpalke.
3. Allow water to fill the pump and hoses until a steady stream of water flows from the air release valve.
4. Close the air release valve.

Navodila za uporabo

The 6-way valve controls the pump's functions. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.

Funkcije 6-potnega ventila

Figure 5: The 6-way multi-port valve.

• FILTER: Normal filtering operation. Water flows through the sand, is cleaned, and returned to the pool.
• POVRATNO PRANJE: Reverses water flow to clean the sand bed. Water is pumped through the bottom of the tank, up through the sand, and out the waste port.
• IZPIRANJE: Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush any remaining debris to waste.
• RECIRCULATION: Bypasses the filter media, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
• ODVOD: Drains water directly from the pool out the waste port, bypassing the filter.
• ZAPRTO: Zapre ves pretok vode do filtra in bazena. Črpalke ne uporabljajte v tem položaju.

Zagon črpalke

1. Ensure the 6-way valve is set to FILTER.
2. Plug the pump into a grounded GFCI outlet.
3. Pritisnite gumb za vklop, da zaženete črpalko.
4. Observe the pressure gauge. Normal operating pressure will be indicated.

Vzdrževanje

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your sand filter pump.

Povratno pranje in izpiranje

Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 5-10 PSI (0.34-0.68 bar) above the initial clean pressure, or when water flow decreases significantly.

1. Izklopite črpalko.
2. Set the 6-way valve to VZVRATNO PRANJE.
3. Turn on the pump and backwash until the water in the sight glass (if present) runs clear (approx. 2-3 minutes).
4. Izklopite črpalko.
5. Set the 6-way valve to Izpiranje.
6. Vklopite črpalko in izpirajte 30–60 sekund.
7. Izklopite črpalko.
8. Set the 6-way valve back to FILTER.
9. Turn on the pump to resume normal operation.

2. Drain the water from the filter tank.
3. Remove the 6-way valve and carefully scoop out the old sand.
4. Clean the tank interior.
5. Add new filter sand as per setup instructions.
