What setting should it be on when turning it on N or Filter. I tried filter and sand started shooting out so I switched it back to the N setting

In my experience I set it on backwash first for about 5 minutes and then put it on filter and it was fine. As far as the sand shooting out that didn't happen to me. But many other people whose reviews I read, said to backwash for 5 minutes and to make sure not to overfill with sand.

Sand is either to high in the filter, to much sand, or the tube inside the filter isnt seated correctly or possibly damaged. But it needs to be in the filter possision

When we first installed our pump, we thought that the sand was shooting out too, but it was only the sediment. (Make sure you rinse the sand before you put it in the filter.) Follow the instructions and make sure the filter is in the correct position. You need to "backwash" the filter to rinse it out, which cleans the sand for better operation.

on the filter there is a screw its called the vacuum release valve loosen it till water starts flowing out and then tighten that well release the air out of the filter tank. if you received a book with your pump and filter look in it and it is number 36. did you full the tank with half of sand then add water and the rest of the sand that has to be also. hope this helped you..

I think you need to put on auto and set it to 50%,that is how I run mine and it will cut off when it reaches that level and then cut back on. Check water level also.

I did filter pad, carbon and ammonia, rings then balls. I haven't cleaned it yet...just set it up last month. So far that setup seems to work fine.

For anyone who reads this in the future, I had this problem just now. The screen never turned on, but we've been using the filter. I finally called customer service. They had me unscrew the back of the filter, pull it out, unscrew the LED screen section, make sure the area around the button was clean and undamaged (mine was fine), screw that part back on (by this point it turned blue instantly and was working), then put the filter in and rescrew the covering to that on. Flushed for a few minutes until the screen went to zeros. Now it turns on when using to monitor the usage. Customer service is really helpful.

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

I have the same sand filter and have recently installed a lateral assembly SX244DA. It is working just fine

Vivian, like C. Rothwell said, make sure it's seated well into place. Sometimes you will hear it "click" and sometimes you won't. There is a series of slots on the filter, if I remember correctly, there are two short ones and a long one. Make sure you line the long slot towards the back of the filter. Push down, but not too hard, until the widest part of the filter top is just below the rim of the tray. I hope that makes sense.

I recommend you clean out the entire filter system, wash out the dirt , etc and place everything back in, and fill it with water before turning it on. Also check you hoses and make sure the top is lined up with the filter trays inside.

If you look at the book it could mean a lot of things. I have found that if you change the mode to the top choice (standby) then go to either spa or pool service normally goes off. If that doesn't work it may not be getting enough pressure; clean the filter. If that doesn't work you have to follow the book.

If it's grinding then it may have sucked in some sand/gravel, lift the top while running the filter by pulling on the flow adjustment tab, a piece of sand or gravel may come out, then gently set the lid attachment back into place. this may resolve the issue. If that doesn't help try rinsing the filter out and make sure the little impeller rotor isn't bent or broken.

There are two settings. interval and continuous. Do you have it on the continuous setting? How long does it run before shutting off? If its on continuous and water remains when isdone running, I would say maybe is not working properly.

Hold the 'filter reset' button (the small button with the looping arrow) down for like 15 or 30 seconds. If it still doesn't reset - sometimes I think the filter really is clever or insane and you might want to double-check that everything is making contact and there's no soot shorting anything out, but I think I only ever had one be 'stubborn' once.

With sandpaper off the pad turn on the unit. You should some if the vacuum channels or clogged. Recommend to shop a vacuum the sander after use. That way when you want to use again, it is ready to go.

Unscrew the system off. Take out the filter drain the water and reinstall. If that doesn't help call waterchef customer service they are Greta they helped me install mine

Unscrew the black screen and take the filter out. I put t over a bin and smack it a bit then brushed it with a dust cloth.

Mine was barely moving when I first got it. I tried everything and then finally decided to clean the main filter. After I did that it started working great. Hope this helps.
