Connect the pool and the filtration group as shown above. The coil of hose provided in the Filtration kit is sized for a
standard installation, that is to say, with the filter group located 3.5 m from the pool (minimum distance between the pump
and the pool according to the French electrical safety standard C15-100 if the filtration group is not installed in a locked
plant room).
ADVICE:
You may use silicon grease or soapy water to help fit the pipes together.
fILLING AND ChARGING ThE CIRCUIT WITh WATER
> >
FILLING THE POOL
Check that all the valves are closed and continue to fill the pool until the water level is 2/3 of the way up the mouth of
the skimmer. This is the optimum level for correct filter operation.
While filling, check the various fittings for leaks. Make sure that the liner is properly engaged in the liner locking track
around the entire periphery of the pool, particularly in the corners. If the liner has come away it will usually be necessary
to empty the pool in order to reattach it.
CHARGING THE CIRCUIT WITH WATER
Open the various valves to fill the circuit with water. Check the various connection points for leaks.
Make sure that the pump is filled with water before starting it up. The pump should under no circumstances be allowed
to run dry. If necessary, open the pump and fill it and the skimmer line with water to facilitate priming.
Turn the 6-way valve to Backwash (to carry out a filter backwash before putting the filter into service). See page 74 for
further information.
Start the pump and check again for leaks.
