4. පිහිටුවීම සහ ස්ථාපනය
නිසි එකලස් කිරීම සහ ස්ථාපනය කිරීම සඳහා මෙම පියවර අනුගමනය කරන්න:
- ස්ථානගත කිරීම: Place the filter system on a firm, level surface, preferably below the pool's water level, and at least 10 feet from the pool. Ensure adequate drainage.
- වැලි පුරවන්න: Remove the multi-port valve and carefully pour the recommended amount of filter sand (up to 100 lbs) into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered during this process. Do not overfill.
- බහු-වරාය කපාටය ස්ථාපනය කරන්න: Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the tank, ensuring it seats properly on the standpipe. Secure it with the provided clamp හෝ බෝල්ට්.
- පොම්පය සම්බන්ධ කරන්න: Attach the pump to the filter tank using the provided plumbing. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- තටාක සම්බන්ධතා: Connect the filter system to your pool's skimmer and return lines. For soft-sided pools, use the included 40mm to 1.5'' filter hose connection kit for proper fitment.
- විදුලි සම්බන්ධතාවය: Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
- පොම්පය ප්රයිම් කරන්න: Before starting, ensure the pump basket is filled with water. Open all necessary valves to allow water to flow from the pool to the pump.

5. Operating the Filter System
The multi-port valve controls the flow of water through the filter system. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

Image 5.1: Diagram illustrating the various settings and functions of the multi-port valve.
Multi-Port Valve Settings:
- පෙරහන: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand, is cleaned, and returned to the pool.
- Backwash: Cleans the filter sand by reversing water flow. Water is discharged through the waste port. Perform when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above starting pressure.
- මෙයට පිළියමක්: Used after backwashing to flush dirty water from the valve and settle the sand. Water is discharged through the waste port.
- අපද්රව්ය: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering pool water level.
- නැවත සංසරණය කරන්න: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
- වසා ඇත: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Do not operate the pump in this position.
- ශීත ඍතුව: පෙරහන් පද්ධතිය ශීත කාලය සඳහා ස්ථානය.
මූලික ආරම්භක ක්රියා පටිපාටිය:
- Ensure the pump is primed and all connections are secure.
- බහු-වරාය කපාටය සකසන්න Backwash තනතුර.
- Turn on the pump and backwash for 2-3 minutes, or until water in the sight glass runs clear.
- පොම්පය නිවා දමන්න.
- බහු-වරාය කපාටය සකසන්න සේදීම තනතුර.
- පොම්පය ක්රියාත්මක කර තත්පර 30-60ක් සෝදා හරින්න.
- පොම්පය නිවා දමන්න.
- බහු-වරාය කපාටය සකසන්න පෙරහන තනතුර.
- Turn on the pump. The system is now operating in normal filter mode. Note the initial pressure gauge reading.
6. නඩත්තු කිරීම
Regular Backwashing:
Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above the clean filter's starting pressure, or when water clarity diminishes. Follow the backwash and rinse procedure outlined in Section 5.
වැලි ආදේශනය:
Filter sand typically lasts approximately 5 years, depending on water chemistry and backwashing frequency. Replace sand when filtration efficiency decreases despite regular backwashing.
Pump Strainer Basket Cleaning:
Periodically inspect and clean the pump's strainer basket to ensure optimal water flow and prevent debris buildup. Turn off the pump, close necessary valves, remove the lid, empty the basket, and replace.
ශීත ඍතුකරණය:
Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the filter tank and pump. Disconnect hoses and store components in a dry, protected area. Set the multi-port valve to the ශීත ඍතුව තනතුර.
