Installing the Triton
Only a qualified service person should install the Triton Fiberglass Sand Filter. This filter is designed and
intended for use to filter water.

Triton
Introduction
The following general information describes how to install the Triton Fiberglass Sand Filter. This filter operates
under pressure and if assembled improperly or operated with air in the water circulation system, the top closure
can separate and result in an accident causing property damage or serious bodily injury. A warning label has been
affixed to the top of the filter and should not be removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace if
missing or illegible.

How your Triton
Filter works
Your high rate sand filter is designed to operate for years with a minimum of maintenance and when installed,
operated and maintained in accordance with these instructions, it will provide years of trouble free operation.
Dirt is collected in the filter as the water flows through the control valve at the side of the filter and is directed into
the top bulkhead. Dirty water flows into the diffuser at the top of the tank and is directed downward into the top
surface of the filter sand bed. The dirt is collected in the sand bed and the clean water flows through the laterals
and lower piping at the bottom of the filter up into the lower bulkhead. The flow then goes into the control valve
at the side of the filter. Clean water is returned through the piping system into the pool.
The pressure will rise and the flow to the pool will be lowered as the dirt is collected in the filter. Eventually, the filter
will become so plugged with dirt that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. It is important to know
when to backwash the filter. Backwashing is discussed further under the subsequent sections of this guide.
Please note that a filter removes suspended matter and does not sanitize the pool. The pool water must be
sanitized and the water must be chemically balanced for sparkling clear water. Your filtration system should be
designed to meet your local health codes. As a minimum, you must be sure that your system will turn over the
total volume of water in your pool at least two to four times in a twenty-four hour period.
Refer to Table 1 for Filter Operation Data.
