Preparation

Choosing the location
The following requirements must be met or considered:

• Position the filter system between the suction connection and the injection nozzle with sufficient distance to the pool wall so that the filter system cannot be used to climb into the pool
• Position the pump below the water level
• Maximum 3 m distance to the pool
• Stable, sturdy and horizontal surface, for example a concrete slab

Filter shaft
A filter shaft is required if the pool is partially or entirely installed in the ground so you can place the pump of the filter system below the pool’s water level.

• Make sure that the filter shaft cannot be flooded and that ambient and rainwater can drain away easily.

You can do so by installing a gravel layer at the bottom of the shaft. An optional immersion pump with a float switch that is connected to a canal or drain additionally protects your filter system from rising water inside the shaft.

• Ensure sufficient natural ventilation of the shaft to prevent condensation.
• Design the size of the filter shaft so that you can carry out work on the filter system.

Description of the filter system

Modes of the filter system
Your filter system has several modes. They are indicated by numbers on the valve head.

1. Filter
2. Rinse
3. Circulate
4. Backflush
5. Closed
6. Drain
7. Winter

The individual modes are described below.

FILTER
Use this mode as the basic setting of your filter system.
The sucked-in pool water flows into the filter vessel through the top and flows through the filter medium. Dirt is filtered out in the process and the water is returned to the pool afterwards.

RINSE
Let the pump run for 20 to 30 seconds in this mode right after backwashing, refilling the quartz filter sand or after initial start-up.
The water is guided into the top part of the filter vessel and the valve head is rinsed. The water drains via the dirt line. The valve head is cleaned this way.

RECIRCULATE
Run this mode after treating the water with chemicals.
The water is guided directly from the valve head to the pool without flowing through the filter. The filter medium does not come into contact with the applied chemicals this way.

BACKFLUSH
Let the pump run in this mode for at most 2 minutes if starting it up for the first time or after filling the unit with new quartz filter sand, or if the manometer shows 0.3 to 0.6 bar above the normal operating pressure, to clean the filter and the quartz filter sand.
The water is guided into the bottom part of the filter vessel and flows through the entire filter. Accumulated dirt is knocked loose and flushed out via the backflush line.

CLOSED

NOTICE!

• Never switch on the pump in this mode!

Use this mode to clean the prefilter (if available) or checking the system for leaks and sealing the affected spots.
The water flow in the pump and in the filter is blocked. Make sure that feed and drain hoses are filled with water and might have to be closed off with shut-off valves or plugs.

WASTE

NOTICE!

• The pool can only be drained up to the minimum water level at the height of the suction line. Make sure to switch the pump off once this level is reached to prevent the pump from running dry.

Use this mode to clean the pool in the case of heavy soiling.
The water is guided past the filter and discharged directly via the backwash line.

WINTER

NOTICE!

• Never switch on the pump in this mode!

Use this mode to store the filter system in the winter.
The valve lever is in an intermediate position which relieves the inner valve components.

Function principle of the timer
With the integrated timer, you can start and stop the pump automatically once a day for the set time. To set several intervals within a 24-hour period, you need an external timer.
The timer has a battery (see section “Technical data”). The start time and the running time are saved in case the power supply is interrupted or fails altogether.

Filtering time
The pool’s water content should be circulated at least twice in a 24 h period. In case of heavier frequency, the pool water should be circulated 3 to 5 times per day.

Before First Use

WARNING! Risk of death when operating the water treatment system during bathing.

Hair or clothing might get sucked into the suction openings of the pool and in extreme cases trap persons under water and prevent them from surfacing again.

• Never operate water treatment system devices while persons are in the pool.
• Prevent any access to the pool for as long as water treatment system devices are in use.

NOTICE! Clarifying agents in the pool water can lead to clumping of the Active Balls and severely impair their cleaning effect.

• Do not use any clarifying agents for water treatment when using Active Balls as filter medium.

Check the following before start-up

• The device is out of the pool and the power cable is disconnected from the mains

Initial start-up of the timer
The timer is going to function flawlessly even if you do not perform the steps described below. However, should the power supply be interrupted, the saved filter running times will be lost.
