5. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh

The Intex SX1500 features a user-friendly digital control panel and a versatile 6-way valve for various functions:

5.1. 6-Way Valve Functions

The 6-way valve allows you to select different operating modes. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

• FILTE: This is the standard operating mode for daily pool water filtration. Water flows through the sand/glass media, removing impurities, and returns to the pool.
• BACKWASH: Used to clean the filter media. Water flows in reverse through the sand/glass, dislodging trapped debris, and is discharged through the waste port. Perform backwash when the pressure gauge indicates high pressure (typically 8-10 PSI above normal operating pressure).
• RINSE: Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining debris from the filter media and settle the sand/glass. Water flows through the filter and is discharged through the waste port.
• SGEULACHD: Bypasses the filter and sends water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering the pool water level.
• ATHARRACHADH: Bidh e a’ seachnadh an criathrag agus a’ cuairteachadh uisge air ais dhan amar-snàmh gu dìreach. Feumail airson ceimigean a mheasgachadh gun sìoladh.
• Dùinte: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use this setting only when the pump is off and for maintenance tasks like cleaning the strainer basket.

5.2. Digital Control Panel and Timer

The digital panel allows for easy control and programming:

• AIR / OFF: Press to turn the pump on or off.
• Uaireadair: Use the integrated timer to set automatic operating cycles. Consult the specific instructions in your full manual for detailed programming steps. Typically, you can set the desired operating hours, and the pump will run daily for that duration.
• FP (Filter Program): This setting allows the pump to run for a continuous period or according to a pre-set program.

6. Cumail suas

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Intex sand filter pump.

• Nigh air ais agus sruthladh: Perform backwashing and rinsing regularly, especially when the pressure gauge indicates a rise of 8-10 PSI above its clean operating pressure. This cleans the filter media and restores filtration efficiency.
• Glanadh Basgaid Criathar: Periodically check and clean the pump's strainer basket. Turn off the pump, close the valve to the CLOSED position, open the strainer lid, remove and clean the basket, then reassemble.
• Sand/Glass Media Replacement: The filter sand typically needs replacement every 5 years. If using glass filter media, it generally lasts longer, approximately 9 years. Refer to your full manual for specific instructions on media replacement.
• Geamhradh: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump and filter tank. Store the unit in a dry, protected area.
