GENERAL
Check filtration kit for any evidence of damage due to rough handling in shipment. If filtration kit is damaged notify the carrier immediately. The filtration kit may only be used for the filtering of swimming pool water, garden pond water or similar applications.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please note: there can be specific needs to use filtration kits nearby swimming pools, garden ponds or such places.
The pump should be placed on a flat, solid foundation, high enough to prevent flooding of the motor.
Install the filter and pump in a sheltered location,ensuring ventilation and adequate access for servicing. Place the filter in its permanent location. Make sure you can reach the valve easily. Then fix the piping. Use only plastic piping. Size all piping adequately and keep the number of elbows to a minimum. Use a direct and short suction line with continuous slope in order to avoid long priming times.
It is essential that the suction line is free of air leaks.The suction line should always have at least the same size as the suction inlet of the pump.

OPERATION

Look inside and check lower distribution system (6) on broken or loose laterals (5). Fill tank for 1/3 with water.
Before filling the filter, sand guide (10) should be on the pipe (4). Fill the filter with the specified quantity of gravel, afterwards with sand. Remove the sand guide. Put some vaseline on the O-ring (7) of the valve (8). Assemble the valve (8) to the filter and tighten with the clamp ring (9). Connect the piping. Turn the valve into position “Rinse” and start the pump for at least 1 minute. Before starting the pump, the strainer basket should be filled with water up to the level of the suction line. Lubricate the lid O-ring with silicone each time the lid is removed. Energize the motor, the pump will prime. The priming time depends on the suction lift and distance to the pool. Five minutes is a reasonable time. Pump will not lift more than 2 meter.
If pump does not prime, see troubleshooting guide.

CAUTION: NEVER SHIFT VALVE HANDLE POSITION WHILE PUMP IS RUNNING. NEVER DISASSEMBLE VALVE WHILE FILTER IS UNDER PRESSURE.

FILTRATION

1. Shift valve handle to position “Filtration”
2. Start the pump
3. Note here the pressure of the pressure gauge (11).

TO CLEAN ( BACKWASH) THE FILTER
When the pressure rises approximately 0.5 bar above the recorded pressure it is time to backwash.

1. Shut off the pump
2. Shift the valve handle to “Backwash”
3. Start pump and let it run until water is clean (about 3 minutes).
4. Shut off the pump
5. Shift valve handle to position “Rinse” and start the pump
6. Start pump and run for approximately one minute
7. Shut off the pump
8. Shift valve handle to position “Filtration” and start the pump

MAINTENANCE

The strainer basket should be daily removed and cleaned. Never operate the pump without its strainer basket. The filter needs no maintenance.

CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE PUMP BEFORE SERVICING

WINTERIZING
Protect the pump, the filter and the piping from freezing. Open the drain (3) and shift the valve handle to “Backwash”. Remove the pump to a dry and warm room. Do not wrap the motor with plastic covering as condensation may damage the pump.

In installations where the pump can not be drained, a 40% propylene glycol, 60% water solution will protect to -46°C. Do not use other anti-freeze solutions, these are all highly toxic and will damage the pump.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical motor must be wired by a professional according to the installation instructions of your local electricity company.

CAUTION: AT THE INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP A MOTOR SECURITY HAS TO BE FORESEEN WHICH SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NOMINAL POWER OF THE MOTOR.

The supply voltage should be within ± 5% of the design voltage, specified on the nameplate of the motor. Single-phase motors should be connected at the terminals as indicated in the junction box.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU INTERRUPT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE CABLES WHEN CONNECTING THE CABLES OF THE PUMP
Every motor must be permanently grounded.
An earth safety or circuit breaker switch with a sensitivity of 30mA should always be included at the installation. The wiring size and the type of fuses (minimum H05RN-F) should be selected in accordance with the motor capacity.

CAUTION: CONNECTIONS WHICH ARE NOT CONFORM

TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

REPLACING THE SAND
Disassemble the drain (3) and let the water flow out. Remove the sand. The sand in the filter must be changed every 5 years.
