Questions and answers
Is there a step by step guide to changing the sand in the filter please.
To change the sand in the Onga Pantera II Series filter, follow these steps:
1. Prevent Sand from Entering the Collector Assembly: Place a plastic sand shield over the top of the collector tube to keep sand out during the process.
2. Remove Old Sand and Clean: Remove the existing sand from the filter tank and clean out any debris inside the tank.
3. Install Laterals Correctly:
- Insert the first lateral into the hub socket and twist it clockwise 1/4 turn to lock it in place. Ensure the slotted side of the laterals faces downwards.
- Add the remaining laterals to the hub, ensuring they are securely locked and properly positioned.
- Position the assembly in the center at the bottom of the tank.
4. Fill the Tank with Sand Media:
- Gradually add the required amount of sand (use 16/30 grade sand), ensuring it is evenly distributed in the tank.
