POOL FILTER INSTALLATION 2 BAG /3BAG (Labour and Travel Only)

Product Description

The Pool Filter Installation 2 Bag / 3 Bag Labour and Travel Only service is designed for pool owners in Gauteng East who have already purchased a new 2 Bag or 3 Bag pool sand filter and need it professionally installed in place of an existing above ground pool filter.

This is a labour and travel only installation service. It does not include the new filter, filter media, pipes, fittings, unions, solvent weld, PTFE tape, adaptors, consumables or disposal of the old filter and old media. The client must supply all required products, equipment and consumables on site before the installation team arrives.

The service includes removal of the existing above ground pool filter from its current position, removal of old filter media where required, standard installation of the new client supplied sand filter in the same position, pipework adjustments up to 2 metres, reconnection to the existing suction, return and waste lines affected by the filter installation, filling with the client supplied filter media, and basic testing for leaks and operation.

This service is suitable for a client supplied 2 Bag or 3 Bag sand filter, provided the new filter is correctly matched to the pool pump, pool size, plumbing layout and existing pool system. Correct pump and filter matching is important for proper filtration performance and to avoid affecting the filter warranty from the product supplier.

The installation is based on a standard replacement in the same filter position, on a flat surface only. It does not include relocating the filter, repairing faulty equipment, correcting old plumbing faults, replacing the pump, changing the DB board, supplying parts, or disposing of waste. Any additional work or missing materials will be quoted separately before the work is done.

Work Summary

The installation starts with a basic inspection of the existing pool filter setup. The team checks the visible condition of the old filter, lid, gasket, pipe connections, unions, plumbing layout and installation position.

The old filter media is removed from the existing filter. The old above ground filter is then disconnected and removed from the filter area where the site allows safe access.

The client supplied 2 Bag or 3 Bag sand filter is positioned in the same place as the old unit, provided the surface is flat and suitable.

The client supplied unions, pipes, fittings and consumables are used to connect the new filter to the existing suction, return and waste lines affected by the replacement.

The client supplied filter media is added to the new filter. This may be silica sand, Eco Clear glass or Eco Fibre sponge media, depending on what the client has purchased for the filter.

The filter is closed, the multiport valve is checked, and the system is tested for leaks and basic operation.
