Filtration systems may not run dry (without water)! The water takes the coo-
ling – in case of dry running there is no warranty replacement! Never place
the pump or filter in your pool. With every switching of the 7-way valve the
filter pump must be turned off! The filter system must not be operated when
the pool is in use. Install this product with a sufficient safety margin from the
pool to prevent children from using the system to access the pool. Do not im-
merse the filter system, power cable or plug in water or in any other liquids.
The filter system's pump is designed to ensure good protection against
foreign bodies and water spray. However, it should still be installed in such a
way to ensure adequate protection from the weather. NEVER service this unit
with the electrical power cord connected. RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT
HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH. Do not block pump suction at the pump or in the pool as this can
cause severe injury or death.
Check scope of delivery

the manual.
Operation
The quartz sand used in the filter system's tank provides long-lasting filtration of
dirt particles and floating debris. Dirty water is drawn from the pool via the suction
pipe through the filter pump and then fed directly from above through the 7-way
valve into the filter tank. As the water flows through the quartz sand in the filter tank,
dirt particles are deposited in the sand and thus filtered out of the pool water. The
purified water flows through the 7-way valve back into the pool via the return pipe.
For the operation of the filter system, you need a skimmer (surface skimmer).
Either an integrated skimmer (built into the pool wall) or a suspended skimmer
(attachment to the poolwall).
Filter sand requirements
■ Only quartz sand can be used with this filter system. The quartz sand must
comply with the DIN 12904 quality standard.
Positioning
The installation area you set between the skimmer and the inlet nozzle so, that
there is an adequate safety margin to the pelvic wall. We recommend putting the
filter system in addition on base plates (for example: washed concrete slabs etc.).
These have to be installed with the spirit level. Under no circumstances you may
put your filter system in a trough or directly into the grass (flood danger or risk of
overheating of the filter pump).
If you have sunk your pool partially or completely, so it makes sense to place the
filter pump in a filter slot, which should connect directly to the pelvis. Is your filter
pump housed in a filter slot, so it has to be insured, that the filter slot can't be
slooded. For this purpose you should bring in a roller-burnishing (crushed rock) in
the range of the filter slot, so that the surrounding- and rainwater can seep away.
It would be ideal if there is a direct connection to the drain in the sump of the filter
shaft (or sludge pump, with automatic floating switch). It is important to ensure
that the filter slot should never be airtight, because this may cause damage, due
to condensation water, on the filter pump. The size of the filter shaft should be
selected so that work can be performed on the filter system.
Installation
Setup filter and pump (see fig. 1 – 5)
In order to avoid damage to the filter tank or the bottom strainer, the filter tank
should be filled with 20 to 30 cm of water before pouring the sand.
Filling the sand filter chamber with sand (see fig. 6)
Pour quartz sand into the sand filter chamber being careful not to allow any sand to
enter the filtered water chamber.
