FIRST USE
Note: Backwash must not be activated when using filter balls!
Two daily filtration cycles lasting 4–5 hours in total (2.5 hours in the morning and 2.5 hours in the
evening recommended), regular backwashing (3–5 minutes) and weekly floor drainage are
necessary to keep the pool water clean.
1. Check all connections to ensure a firm and watertight fit.
2. When the system is switched off, set the controller to BACKWASH. Caution! Never turn or
press on the valve using momentum or excessive force.
3. Turn on the power and fill the system with water. All air vents must drain the air from the
system as fully as possible. The less air gets “trapped” in the system, the more thoroughly the
system will clean. Please refer also to the instructions in the pump manual. Neither the pump
nor the filter tank may contain any air. Alongside the loss of power, the air may become a
danger or even damage the pump. TIP: For systems with pre-filter, slightly loosen the cover
of the pre-filter in order to vent them.
4. This step does not apply for filter balls; applies only to sand and glass fillings! You should first
pump the water using BACKWASH for a short time. The fresh sand will contain suspended
solids that you should pump out first. Otherwise you may also pump the water using
“standard operation”, in which case you must assume that the water will initially be slightly
turbid. This is normal and will subside after a short time. New sand always contains a certain
amount of suspended solids. Generally speaking, the finer the sand, the more suspended
solids it will contain.
5. As soon as there is a constant flow of water and the water seems clear, switch off the pump
temporarily, set the valve to RINSE and switch on the pump again. This removes a large
portion of the suspended solids.
6. Turn the pump off after 1-2 minutes and set the valve to FILTER. You can now begin standard
operation.
7. Note the pressure applied to the boiler once the sand is clean. You can read the pressure on
the manometer. A guideline value cannot be given here as the pressure highly depends on
a range of factors, such as the grain size of the sand and the positioning of the plant in
relation to the water level. If the pressure deviates by a factor of about 8-10 PSI (0.6 - 0.7 bar)
from the noted initial value over the course of several weeks, you are advised to clean the
sand. In this case, the dirt that has already been collected prevents optimum flow of the water
and indicates the need for cleaning by increasing the pressure.
8. The pump should be cleaned at regular intervals. Please refer to the pump manual.
Use with a floor cleaner:
If you have a floor cleaner, you must set the handle on the valve head to ‘FILTRATION’. The floor
cleaner must be connected to the skimmer with the pool cleaner hose. The pump must be
switched off.
The pool cleaner hose must be completely filled with water to prevent the pump from sucking in
air. The pump is then switched on. If air gets into the filter system, switch off the filter pump and
vent the system.
Now slowly and evenly run your floor cleaner brush over the pool floor. A perforated basket is
required for filter systems without a pre-filter! Ensure that the pre-filter or screen basket is not
completely clogged with dirt. Remove the contaminants that have been sucked in in the meantime.
If the suction power decreases, stop work immediately and clean the filters! The system must be
subsequently backwashed each time the floor is cleaned!
