Maintenance
Backflushing
Do not backwash when using Steinbach Filter Balls. If the filter throughput decreases, we
recommend washing the filter balls by hand. If necessary, exchange the filter balls.
1. Switch the pump
off by pulling the power plug.
2. Connect the backwash line (see section "Connecting the backwash line").
3. Press and hold down the valve lever
on the valve head
.
4. Set the valve lever to the "BACKWASH" position and release it.
5. Connect the pump's power plug to the power supply.
6. Backwash the system until clean water emerges from the backwash line (max. 2 minutes).
7. Switch the pump
off by pulling the power plug.
8. Press and hold down the valve lever
on the valve head
.
9. Set the valve lever to the "RINSE" position and release it.
10. Connect the pump's power plug to the power supply.
11. Let the pump run for 20 to 30 seconds to remove any residue in the valve head.
12. Switch the pump
off by pulling the power plug.
The backwashing is completed.
Exchanging the filter medium
The filter medium used (quartz filter sand or filter balls) is subject to wear, even under
optimum conditions and should be exchanged at regular intervals, depending on the
operating time and the amount of dirt that has accumulated.
1. Switch the pump
off by pulling the power plug.
2. Close the shut-off valves or block the water flow to the pool's connecting hoses.
3. Screw in the drainage opening
so that it comes out of the base of the filter vessel
.
4. Completely drain the water from the filter vessel
via the drainage opening.
5. Screw the drainage opening into the filter vessel.
6. Undo the locking ring
by turning the screw counter-clockwise. Use the Allen wrench
for this
purpose.
7. Put aside the locking ring and its screws.
8. Slowly turn the filter vessel on its head and remove the quartz filter sand or the filter balls.
9. Remove the screen
.
10. Thoroughly rinse the screen under flowing water.
11. Rinse the filter vessel with clean water.
12. Carry out the steps described in the "Preparing the filter vessel" section.
The filter medium is exchanged.
