1. Positioning: Install the filter on a stable, level surface near the pool pump. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.

5. Priming and Backwashing: Before use, backwash the filter to remove any fine particles from the sand. This ensures clean operation from the start.
