Watermaid Rapid Kleen 26" Installation And Operating Instructions Manual - page 6
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
* The WATERMAID® filter should be placed as close to the pool as possible on a
concrete slab as large as dimension "C" given on page 6.
* Allow sufficient space around the filter for routine maintenance which will also
allow for adequate ventilation and drainage.
* Place the filter in a position on the slab that will be convenient to access
plumbing fittings and electrical connections.
* Ensure the clamps for the multiport valve are tightened.
* Clearance of at least 250mm above the multiport valve is required for easy
removal and 150mm clearance is required behind the filter.
ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the sand filter from the carton.
2. Check inside the filter that the laterals are clipped firmly into the hub and that
there is no damage.
3. Place the red sand cap in the top of the 40mm down tube to stop sand
entering the down tube.
4. Make sure the lateral hub down tube is central in the bottom of the tank.
5. Pour water into the filter casing, approximately one third to one half full to
allow the sand to settle around the laterals without damaging them.
6. Pour the correct amount (see specification label) of 16/30 grade filtration sand
into the tank, evenly distributing it around the central pipe. Level out the top of
the sand bed.
7. Check that the down tube is central and all sand is removed from the top tank
surface.
8. Ensure that O'rings are clean and fitted correctly in the 'O' ring grooves of the
multiport valve outlet, where the down tube fits and on the valve flange. Clean
the flange of any dirt.
9. Remove the down tube sand cap.
10. Place silicone grease (supplied) on the tank O'ring and slide the multiport
valve over the down tube, positioning the ports to suit the pump and pool
plumbing.
