5. USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Let the water ow from the pool to the sand lter system. Press the valve handle down, to let air
out and to let the water in the tank. Be sure that the tank is placed under the water surface, so the
water can ow naturally in the hose towards the pump.
Run the ”BACKWASH” procedure to avoid small particles and sand grains getting
into the pool before ltration starts.
6. STARTING UP THE FILTER/PUMP
- BACKWASH PROCEDURE
1) Make sure the power plug is disconnected. Set the handle in BACKWASH position. Switch
the pump on and carry out a backwash for a few minutes to eliminate any sand that could
have settled during lling up. During a backwash the water will ow out from the ”WASTE”
drain cock an led to the nearest drain by a hose. For this use, you can by a “rolled op” hose as
an accessory.
Switch the pump o.
2) Now set the lever on RINSE; switch the pump on and rinse for a minute. In the RINSE position
the drain cock will be cleaned from sand grains, that or else, would have been ushed into
the pool. Switch the pump o.
3) Set the lever on FILTER. Switch the pump on. The lter is now operating normally and is
carrying out its function at an optimum level.
We recommend you to use the lter at least twice a day for 3-4 hours and to do a back¬wash for a
few minutes after each cycle.
We recommend that you run the BACKWASH procedure minimum once a week.
The ltering process leads to a continuous capture of impurities in the lter sand.
This ongoing process will lead also to an increased pressure inside the tank, when
the water pressed through lter material. The sand lter system manometer
shows the pressure inside the tank. If the pressure rises with approx. 0.2 -0.3 bar
above the rst gauges level (approx. 0.4 bar), when the lter and sand was com-
pletely new and pure, it is time for a backwash.
7. CLEANING THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL
Switch the pump o. Use a hose clamp to connect a pool hose to the round suction plate of the
pool skimmer. Alternatively place a pool hose into the bottom of the skimmer. This will demand
a sucking hose with a special mu connector. Make sure all air comes is out of the hose before
cleaning. Fill the hose with water by holding it in front of the inlet to the pool while the pump is
running. The air will hereby come out. The hoses can be air free under water using a weight load.
That could be a weighted vacuum cleaner mounted on a telescopic pole.
