4. USE
4.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The filter pump is a fundamental, core component of any pool, as it is used to circulate the water
through all components, the filter in particular.
Its motor makes the turbine rotate, which pumps the water. The strainer basket collects large pieces
of debris to prevent the filter from becoming blocked or damaged.
4.2 OPERATION
• To prevent any risk of explosion that could cause material damage, serious injury or even
death, ensure that the hydraulic circuit is free of obstructions, is not blocked and is not
under high pressure.
• The lid of the strainer basket should be closed by hand (do not use any tools).
• Check that the hydraulic connections are securely tightened.
• Check that the pump is stable and leveled.
• The hydraulic circuit should be primed and not contain any foreign bodies.
• The lid of the strainer basket must be properly closed (by hand) and its gasket clean and
properly in place.
• Check that the valves are open.
• As the pump is self-priming, the strainer must be filled with water before starting it up for
the first time in order to facilitate the process. (See FIGURE 4)
• The pump has a priming capacity of up to 1.5 meters above the water level of the pool at
sea level (if the hydraulic circuit is properly sealed).
• Bleed any air that may have built up in the filtration circuit using the bleed valve, which is
usually on the filter (see the pool filter manual).
