3. Connecting the Multi-Port Valve (Sold Separately):
   • Ensure the O-ring is properly seated on the valve flange.
   • Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the filter tank, aligning the standpipe with the valve's opening.
   • Secure the valve to the tank using the clamp band. Tighten the clamp band evenly.

5. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

The operation of your sand filter is controlled by the multi-port valve (sold separately). Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

Common valve positions include:

• פילטער: נאָרמאַלע פֿילטערינג אָפּעראַציע. וואַסער פֿליסט דורך די זאַמד בעט, פֿאַרכאַפּנדיק שמוץ, און קערט זיך צוריק צום בעקן.
• באַקוואַש: Cleans the filter sand. Water flows in reverse through the sand bed, dislodging trapped debris, and exits through the waste line.
• שווענקען: גענוצט נאך צוריקוואשן צו באזעצן דעם זאמד בעט און אויסשווענקען יעדן פארבליבענעם שמוציגן וואסער צו אפפאל איידער עס ווערט צוריקגעקערט צום פילטער מאָדע.
• אָפּפאַל/אָפּגאַנג: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly from the pump to the waste line. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering pool water level.
• רעסירקולירן: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical mixing without filtering.
• פארמאכט: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use only when the pump is off and for servicing.

Monitor the pressure gauge (if installed on your multi-port valve). When the pressure rises 8-10 PSI (0.5-0.7 bar) above the clean filter pressure, it's time to backwash.
