I will wait for swim season to end. If the bearing last. This one was super noisy right out of the box. Mind you, have had pool 7 years and am savvy at trouble shooting just about every problem short of those requiring opening up a motor housing. I'm trying to decide if I want to get a sand filter. With boys in and out of pool now, it gets a lot dirtier. Clarifying agents clog the filter cartridges. Either that or I am going to build my own filter like the old days for aquariums!! I bought this one as an upgrade to the one that came with the pool.
I didn't realize that according to the directions that I am only supposed to run this pump for 2 hours at a time for my size pool. The filter is able to be pressure washed off to save on that expense. I like the timer too. Thank you! Intex Recreation Corp.

In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew plunger valve union from the threaded strainer connector 26 see drawing 1. Be careful not to lose the step rubber washer Place the plunger valve on the ground in a safe place. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the strainer nut 24 from the threaded connector Leave the flat washer 25 on the connector From the inside of the pool liner insert the connector 26 into one of the pre-cut holes with the washer remaining on the connector to be placed against the inside of the liner wall.
Before assembly, lubricate the threads with a petroleum jelly. With the flat side of the strainer nut 24 facing the outside wall of the liner in a clockwise motion screw the strainer nut 24 back onto the threaded connector 26 see drawing 2. Finger tighten the strainer nut 24 onto the threaded connector Grasp the plunger valve assembly.
Make sure the step 23 is in place. In a clockwise motion screw the plunger valve union back onto the threaded connector 26 see drawing 3. In a clockwise motion turn the plunger valve handle to close position. Ensure the plunger valve is securely closed. This will prevent water from flowing out during filling of the pool see drawing 4.
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew plunger valve union from the threaded strainer connector 26 see drawing 5. Install the nozzle and plunger valve at the upper position of pool inlet. With the flat side of the strainer nut 24 facing the outside wall of the liner in a clockwise motion screw the strainer nut 24 back onto the threaded connector 26 see drawing 6.
Finger tighten the adjustable pool inlet nozzle 27 and the strainer nut 24 onto the threaded connector In a clockwise motion screw the plunger valve union back onto the threaded connector 26 see drawing 7. This will prevent water from flowing out during filling of the pool see drawing 8. Adjust the direction of nozzle head pointing away from the pool outlet for a better circulation result see drawing 9. The pool liner is now ready to fill with water.
Pool chemistry is a specialized area and you should consult your local pool service specialist for details. Particle size range 0. Uniformity Coefficient less than 1. Recommended filtering media quantity: No. 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. Leaf trap setup: 1. Make sure the pump o-ring 6 is in place. In a clockwise motion screw the leaf trap 19 onto the motor inlet see drawing Sand tank installation: 1.
Place the tank support base at the selected location. Place the tank on the tank support base see drawing In a clockwise motion screw the center pipe 7 onto the filter grid 8 securely by hand see drawing Vertically insert the filter grid and center pipe assembly into the tank. Ensure filter grid assembly is securely fitted to the bottom of the tank, and the center pipe is vertically centered inside the tank see drawing Only use the filter media specified by the manufacturer.
NOTE: Before loading the tank with sand, ensure the sand filter grid and center pipe assembly is securely in place on the tank bottom, and the center pipe 7 is vertically centered inside the tank.
To prevent sand from falling into the center pipe top opening when pouring the sand, cover the center pipe top opening with a cup or similar object see drawing With one person holding the center pipe to keep it centered, pour the sand into the tank at a slow rate manually to prevent the filter grid assembly from shifting see drawing Fill the tank approximately half way first to 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 filter grid 8 from excessive shock see drawing Remove the protective cup from the center pipe top opening. Wash away all sand around the top edge of the tank.
Make sure the tank o-ring 5 is in place. NOTE: Ensure the tank o-ring is free of sand or debris. Lower the 6-way valve cover over the tank slowly, and ensure the bypass pipe protruding underneath the 6-way valve cover fits securely into the center pipe 7 top opening see drawing Make sure the tank o-ring is securely fitted between the top edge of the tank groove and the 6-way valve cover edge.
Place an L-shape o-ring 18 on the pump motor outlet. In a clockwise motion connect the sand filter interconnecting hose 13 to the pump motor outlet see drawing Connect the pump motor unit to the tank support base see drawing NOTE: Ensure the leaf trap water inlet hose connection is facing towards the pool.
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 The product can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden platform to prevent accidental falling over.
Place an L-shape o-ring 11 on the 6-way valve inlet connection. In a clockwise motion connect the sand filter interconnecting hose 13 to the 6-way valve inlet connection see drawing The 6-way valve has three hose connection ports.
Connect one hose 12 end to the pre-filter inlet and the other end of the hose to the lower connector with the strainer. Ensure the hoses are securely tightened. Connect the second hose 12 between the 6-way valve water outlet and the upper connector with the inlet-nozzle.
Ensure the hoses are securely tighten. The sand filter pump is now ready to filter the pool. Tighten securely. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew plunger valve union from the threaded strainer connector Make sure the step washer 23 is in place. Connect adaptor B 28 to plunger valve union. Adaptor B 28 fits over the strainer connection 29 inserted into the connection.
Do not use a portable residual current device PRCD. 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. When water starts flowing out of the air release valve hole, close the air release valve back.
Always switch off pump before changing the 6-way valve position. Switch on the pump see drawing NOTE: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand media. Switch on the pump and run the pump for about one minute to level out the sand bed after backwashing the sand media.
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. Vacuuming device i. 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.
Monitor the pressure gauge reading, and check that the inlet and outlet openings are not obstructed on a weekly basis.
If the pressure gauge indicates yellow it is time to backwash the filter media. Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table see drawing 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. With proper chemical control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water. Keep pool chemicals away from children. Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied.
Skin or eye irritations could occur. Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and cannot be overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required when filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives and extra filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of grass may grow through the liner.
