Configurazione e installazione
Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. Refer to the following steps for setting up your Pentair TR60 filter.
Disimballaggio e ispezione
- Rimuovere con attenzione tutti i componenti dalla confezione.
- Inspect the filter tank, multi-port valve (sold separately), and all accessories for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
- Assicurarsi che siano presenti tutti i componenti elencati nella lista di imballaggio.
Selezione della posizione
Scegli una posizione che sia:
- Ben drenato e protetto dall'umidità eccessiva.
- Accessibile per manutenzione e assistenza.
- At least 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the pool.
- On a firm, level base capable of supporting the weight of the filter when filled with sand and water.
Aggiunta di materiale filtrante (sabbia)
The TR60 filter requires specific amounts of pea gravel and filter sand for optimal performance. The instructions recommend 50 lbs of pea gravel and 275 lbs of filter sand. Based on user experience, it is often best to use approximately 75 lbs of pea gravel to adequately cover the laterals, followed by 250 lbs of filter sand.
- Ensure the internal laterals are properly positioned at the bottom of the tank.
- Place a small amount of water in the tank to cushion the laterals.
- Carefully add the recommended amount of pea gravel (approximately 50-75 lbs) to cover the laterals.
- Slowly add the filter sand (approximately 250-275 lbs) into the tank. Distribute it evenly.
- Ensure the standpipe is centered during sand addition.
Installazione della valvola
The multi-port backwash valve is sold separately. Compatible valves include models 261173, 261049, 261050, 261055 e 263064.
- Clean the threads of the filter tank opening and the valve.
- Apply a suitable sealant to the valve threads.
- Carefully screw the valve onto the filter tank opening. Do not overtighten.
- Connect the plumbing from the pump to the "PUMP" port on the valve and the plumbing leading back to the pool to the "RETURN" port. The "WASTE" port should be connected to a suitable drain or waste line.
Istruzioni per l'uso
