No changes whatsoever should be made to the filter system. This is the only way in
which safety and a long service life can be guaranteed.
•
If damage occurs, the system must not be used under any circumstances and must
be serviced/repaired immediately by a qualified specialist.
•
The pump is not suitable for pumping faeces, flammable, corrosive,
explosive or other dangerous liquids. The pumped liquid must not exceed or fall
below the maximum or minimum temperature specified.
•
Ensure the electrical parts of the pump do not come into contact with water. Risk
of death!
•
Dry running - operating the pump without pumping water - must be avoided as a
lack of water causes the pump to overheat. This can cause considerable damage to
the appliance.
•
It is absolutely forbidden to insert your hands into the opening of the pump when
the appliance is connected to the mains.
•
Whenever the pump is put into operation, ensure that it is installed in a safe, stable
manner. The appliance must always be placed on level ground and in an upright
position.
•
Visually inspect the pump before each use.
Sand filtration structure
To avoid having to move the sand filter system when it is already filled, it is advisable
that you determine its location before assembling it. Ensure that the surface is level
and sufficiently solid to support the system's entire weight. Damage could occur if the
system sinks sideways.
Ensure that you set up the sand filter system (and its pump) about 3.5 m from the edge
of the pool. This prevents splash water / gushing water from hitting and damaging the
pump. However, longer distances should be avoided, as they unnecessarily reduce the
pump's performance.
Do not carry out any assembly work if the mains plug is not pulled out. Ensure that the
instruction label is still visible on the tank and pump in case any questions or issues
arise later.
Ensure that the filter works under pressure and that the pump can provide sufficient
power. I
f the pump is placed above the water level, a backflow valve must be installed in the
system (please refer to the instructions for the pump in question).
If the pump is positioned below the water level, it is important for maintenance
purposes to ensure that the water supply to the pump is interrupted, otherwise the
water may run out of the pool unhindered.
Instructions
Hoses and connections should be kept as short as possible and without any kinks.
This reduces the flow capacity, meaning your system would suffer unnecessary loss of
performance.
Make sure that the connection rings, hose clamps and all sealing rings are properly
positioned.
Never over-tighten the screws of the hose clamps and the neck of the tank. This would
damage them and cause the system to lose pressure
System assembly
Important: The system accessories can be found in the tank. Please ensure you have
removed them all.
See parts list on page 46-47.
•
Before using the multifunctional valve, the lever must be attached to the valve:
Place the lever on the valve and secure it by pushing the supplied metal pin
through the two holes in the lever. Use a screwdriver and a rubber mallet to
disengage the lever from the valve again and carefully knock the metal pin out of
the opening.
•
Models with pre-filter only: Close the pump pre-filter with the cover and the large
O-ring. Important: Do not use tools, only tighten by hand. S
•
Mount the drain on the lower outlet (6) of the tank as shown in the picture.
Ensure that you remember the gaskets, otherwise water loss may result (fig. 2).
•
Place the pipe – along with the diffuser body (8) – diagonally into the filter
tank, then connect the distributor (9) to the the diffuser body by screwing
them together. Place the diffuser and the pipe on the tank base and fill the
filter tank with some water to stabilise the diffuser. Fill the filter tank with
320 g filter balls (fig.4). No filter material may enter the pipe!
Place the large gasket (3) on the filter tank and position the multifunctional valve
(2) so that the pipe fits in the central opening. Secure the valve with the closing
flange (4) on the filter tank (7). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws (fig. 6).
•
Place the main pipe in the centre of the tank on the ground as shown in the image
(fig. 3).
•
Important: The "PUMP" valve opening must point towards the pump, since this is
where the short capillary tube will be connected in a later step (fig. 6).
•
Mount the pressure gauge onto the valve head. To do this, remove any existing
sealing cap (fig. 6).
•
Use the capillary tube to connect the upper outlet of the pump to the "PUMP"
inlet of the control valve and seal it securely using hose clamps and sealing rings.
Important: Ensure that the locking flange and the sealing ring are mounted correctly
(fig. 6)!Ss
