- Afegir material filtrant:
- Remove the multi-port valve from the top of the tank.
- Place the standpipe and laterals assembly inside the tank.
- Carefully pour the recommended amount of filter sand (silica sand No. 20 or glass filter media 0.45/0.85mm) into the tank. Ensure the standpipe remains centered.
- Replace the multi-port valve, ensuring it's securely fastened to the tank.

Operating the Sand Filter Pump
The multi-port valve allows for different operating modes:
- Filtre: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand and returns to the pool.
- Rentat a contracor: Cleans the sand filter by reversing water flow. Use when pressure gauge indicates high pressure or water flow is reduced.
- Esbandida: Used after backwashing to settle the sand and flush out any remaining dirt before returning to filter mode.
- Residus: Bypasses the filter and pumps water directly out of the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
- Recirculate: Circulates water without filtering. Useful for distributing chemicals.
- Tancat: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use only when the pump is off.
Important: Always turn off the pump before changing the multi-port valve position.
