chloramines, and will not alter the water’s pH.
pH: The measure of the
exercise system
water’s acidity and alkalinity.
ppm: The abbreviation of “parts per million”, the standard measurement
of chemical concentration in water. Identical to mg/l (milligrams per liter).
Reagent: A chemical material in liquid, powder, or tablet form for use in
chemical testing.
Sanitizer: Sanitizers are added and maintained at recommended
residuals to protect bathers against pathogenic organisms which can
cause disease and infection in
exercise system
water.
Scale: Rough calcium-bearing deposits that can coat
exercise system
surfaces, heaters, plumbing lines, and clog filters. Generally, scaling is
caused by mineral content combined with high pH. Additionally, scale
forms more readily at higher water temperatures.
Super-Chlorination: Also known as “shock treatment.” Super-
Chlorination is a process of adding significant doses of a quick dissolving
sanitizer (“dichlor” is recommended) to oxidize non-filterable organic
waste and to remove chloramines and bromamines.
Total Alkalinity (TA): The amount of bicarbonates, carbonates, and
hydroxides present in
exercise system
water. Proper total alkalinity is
important for pH control. If the TA is too high, the pH is difficult to adjust.
If the TA is too low, the pH will be difficult
to hold at the proper level. The
desired range of TA in
exercise system
water is 80 to 120 ppm.
Care and Maintenance
Your SWIMCROSS exercise system is manufactured from the highest
quality, most durable materials available. Even so, the exercise system
care and maintenance program you develop will ultimately determine
how long your exercise system, and its individual components, will last.
Regular maintenance and following the advice in this section will help
you to protect your investment.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
At least once a week, check and clean the skimmer trays & filter basket
to ensure proper filter flow. Remove leaves, foreign matter, and debris. It
is very important to keep your exercise system filter cartridges clean and
free of particles to ensure proper water flow. Clean filters enables the
hydrotherapy system to function properly and allows for more efficient
filter cycles. Depending on how frequently your exercise system is used,
we recommend cleaning the exercise system filter cartridges every
four weeks. If this is not done, the filter may clog and restrict water flow,
which causes improper filtration, poor jet performance and may possibly
freeze.
IMPORTANT: The frequency and duration of use, and the number of
occupants all contribute to determining the appropriate time between
filter cleanings. More use means that more frequent filter cleanings will
be required.
SWIM SIDE FILTER CARTRIDGE
REMOVAL AND CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the swim side contol panel in the "Standby" mode, then
proceed as follows:
1. Find the filter grate inside
the swim side.
2. Pull the filter grate from the
bottom up until it unlocks from
the wall.
IMPORTANT: ONLY
PULL FILTER GRATE UP
SLIGHTLY.
3. Pull filter grate away from
wall and set aside.
4. Pull skimmer tray away from
wall, remove and clean.
5. To remove the filter, turn using
the handle in the center of the
filter
counter-clockwise.
6. Pull filter up, then angle the top
away from the filter compartment to
pull filter completely out. Each filter
has 4.5 m² of effective filter area.
7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 to remove
second filter.
Always clean the filter using a filter
degreaser to remove mineral and
oil build-up. Simply soak the filter
in the degreaser (according to
the package directions), then place the filter on a clean surface and
spray until clean using a garden hose. It may be necessary to rotate
the filter while spraying to remove any debris lodged between the
filter pleats.
8. Re-insert filter cartridge by reversing steps 5, 6 & 7.
9. Slide skimmer try back into filter compartment reversing step 4.
10. Position filter grate as seen in step 2 & 3, grate should touch wall of
exercise system slightly about black filter equipment compartment
tracks. Slide filter grate down until it stops.
Repeat all of the above steps for the filters on the opposite side
