NOTE! Risk of damage! This product may be damaged through improper use.
Danger of electrocution! Faulty electrical installation or too high mains vol-
tage can lead to electrocution. Only connect the product if the mains voltage
on the socket corresponds to the technical specications. Only connect this
product using an easily accessible socket to ensure it can be rapidly dis-
connected from the mains in the event of a fault. Do not operate the product
if it exhibits visible damage or the mains cable/plug is defective. As additional
protection, it is recommended to install a residual current device (FI/RCD)
with a tripping current of no more than 30 mA. Consult with an electrician for
advice.
Only open the product as described in this manual. Leave repairs to experts
in order to prevent hazards. Consult a specialist workshop. Liability is waived
and warranty claims expire if repairs or changes to the product are carried
out independently of if the product is improperly connected or operated
incorrectly. This product features electrical and mechanical parts which are
indispensable for protecting against potential hazards.
Never touch the plug with wet hands. Never pull out the plug from the socket
using the cable - always pull on the plug. Keep the product, plug and all
cables away from open res and hot surfaces. Lay the cable so that it does
not pose a tripping risk and do not place it under the ground. Lay cables in
such a way that they will not be damaged by lawn mowers and other similar
devices. Do not kink the cable and do not lay it over sharp edges. Do not use
an extension cable, multiple socket adapters or other adapters.
Filtration systems may not run dry (without water)! The water takes the coo-
ling – in case of dry running there is no warranty replacement! Never place
the pump or lter in your pool. With every switching of the 7-way valve the
lter pump must be turned off! The lter system must not be operated when
the pool is in use. Install this product with a sufcient safety margin from the
pool to prevent children from using the system to access the pool. Do not im-
merse the lter system, power cable or plug in water or in any other liquids.
The lter system’s pump is designed to ensure good protection against
foreign bodies and water spray. However, it should still be installed in such a
way to ensure adequate protection from the weather. NEVER service this unit
with the electrical power cord connected. RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT
HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH. Do not block pump suction at the pump or in the pool as this can
cause severe injury or death.
Check scope of delivery

not use the product. Get in contact with the service address stated at the end of
the manual.
Operation
The quartz sand used in the lter system’s tank provides long-lasting ltration of
dirt particles and oating debris. Dirty water is drawn from the pool via the suction
pipe through the lter pump and then fed directly from above through the 7-way
valve into the lter tank. As the water ows through the quartz sand in the lter tank,
dirt particles are deposited in the sand and thus ltered out of the pool water. The
puried water ows through the 7-way valve back into the pool via the return pipe.
For the operation of the lter system, you need a skimmer (surface skimmer).
Either an integrated skimmer (built into the pool wall) or a suspended skimmer
(attachment to the poolwall).
Filter sand requirements
■ Only quartz sand can be used with this lter system. The quartz sand must
comply with the DIN 12904 quality standard.
Positioning
The installation area you set between the skimmer and the inlet nozzle so, that
there is an adequate safety margin to the pelvic wall. We recommend putting the
lter system in addition on base plates (for example: washed concrete slabs etc.).
These have to be installed with the spirit level. Under no circumstances you may
put your lter system in a trough or directly into the grass (ood danger or risk of
overheating of the lter pump).
If you have sunk your pool partially or completely, so it makes sense to place the
lter pump in a lter slot, which should connect directly to the pelvis. Is your lter
pump housed in a lter slot, so it has to be insured, that the lter slot can’t be
slooded. For this purpose you should bring in a roller-burnishing (crushed rock) in
the range of the lter slot, so that the surrounding- and rainwater can seep away.
It would be ideal if there is a direct connection to the drain in the sump of the lter
shaft (or sludge pump, with automatic oating switch). It is important to ensure
that the lter slot should never be airtight, because this may cause damage, due
to condensation water, on the lter pump. The size of the lter shaft should be
selected so that work can be performed on the lter system.
Installation
Setup lter and pump (see g. 1 – 5)
In order to avoid damage to the lter tank or the bottom strainer, the lter tank
should be lled with 20 to 30 cm of water before pouring the sand.
Filling the sand lter chamber with sand (see g. 6)
Pour quartz sand into the sand lter chamber being careful not to allow any sand to
enter the ltered water chamber.
