COMMISSIONING AND OPErATING rECOMMENDATIONS
WArNING: Carry out a back wash and rinse before using the filter for the first time to clean the filter and remove any
excess sand and impurities (see the paragraph Filter and Valve operation). After the backwash, rinse before turning the
valve to the Filtration position. After the backwash, with the multi-port valve set to Filtration, the black needle on the
pressure gauge indicates the nominal pressure experienced by the filter. This pressure will vary as a function of the pump
flow rate, the static pressure and load losses across the pipes. To keep a record of this nominal pressure (calibration),
adjust the dial of the pressure gauge so that the blue needle aligns with the black needle.
NB: Stop the pump before each manipulation of the 6-way valve. Failure to respect this instruction will result in damage
to the filter, the valve and pump and cancellation of the guarantee.
-FILTEr AND VALVE OPErATION:
- FILTrATION: Water arrives from the pump, passes from the top to the bottom of the filter and is returned to the pool.
- BACKWASh: Water passes through the filter from the bottom to the top gathering trapped impurities and carrying
them directly to waste. Backwash should be carried out as soon as the needle in the pressure gauge enters the red.
- rINSE: Water passes through the filter from top to bottom before being directed to waste (allow approx 30 sec for this
process.).
- CIrCULATION : Water circulates without passing through the filter.
- DrAIN: Water passes from the pool to waste (flocculation, etc.).
- CLOSED: No water circulation. Never allow the pump to run while the valve is in this position. Similarly, make sure that
the position of the various valves will allow circulation of water before turning the pump on.
Filtration: Normal valve position.
Water from the pump crosses the
filter from top to bottom before
returning to the pool.
Closed: No circulation is possible.
Never allow the pump to run while the
valve is in this position.
Circulation: Water from the pump
returns directly to the pool without
passing through the filter.
/ OCTO & OCTO +
Drain: Water from the pump is
channeled directly to waste without
passing through the filter.
Backwash: Water from the pump
crosses the filter from the bottom
to the top and is then channelled to
waste, carrying away impurites that
were trapped in the filter.
Rinse: Water from the pump crosses
the filter from top to bottom and is
chanelled to waste.
