OPERATION RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1
IMPORTANT
When starting up the filter for the first time, observe the direction in which the water is flowing: in the
"Filtration" position, water should pass though the filter from the top to the bottom. If the pipes were
inverted during assembly, or the multiport valve is defective, water could cross the filter from the bottom to
the top. This would rapidly lead to damage to both the tank and the laterals. The following indicate inverted
assembly:
•
a low pressure reading on the pressure gauge.
•
a flow rate that drops rapidly even after back washing the filter even though the filter basket is clean.
•
persistently cloudy pool water.
4.2
FILTER RUN TIMES
The filter run time corresponds to the theoretical time taken for all the pool water to pass through the filter.
In family pools, the recommended run time is 6 hours minimum.
We recommend the following as a function of water temperature:
•
below 14° C: 5 to 6 hours per day.
•
from 15° to 23° C: 6 to 8 hours per day.
•
above 23° C: 10 to 12 hours per day.
The filter run time should be increased with increasing temperature and/or with increasing pool use.
To optimise filtration, run the filter only during the day (between 8 am and 9 pm), and generally while the
pool is in use. (One swimmer pollutes 3m3 of water).
