Can I use the Filter Balls in any filter system?
Yes. In principle, Filter Balls can be used with all standard sand filter sys-
tems. Before using for the first time, check whether the Filter Balls could
run out of the filter container and into larger sized pipes. This must not be
allowed to occur during backwashing, rinsing or filtering. In this case,
precautions have to be taken (grid, etc.).
Use
If you have used sand as a filter medium until now, remove all the sand and
clean the filter container without leaving any residue. Sand residues can
affect the effect of the Filter Balls.
When re-filling, use the Filter Balls instead of the sand in the designated
filter area.
Make sure that two chamber systems do not get any Filter Balls into the fresh
water area. Otherwise, this could lead to blockages in the filter system and
in the pipelines.
For cartridge filter systems, use the filter net included in the scope of
deliv-ery. Instead of the filter cartridge type A, use approx. 20 pieces of
Filter Balls. If filter balls are used as filter medium, no flake cartridges
may be used for water treatment.
How many of the Steinbach Filter Balls do I have to use?
One sales package has a content of 700 g. This corresponds to a quantity of 25
kg filter sand.
When using Filter Balls, do I need to use any additional filter sand?
No.
How effective are Filter Balls?
If you use standard filter systems with quartz sand, particles with a size
of>40µm are filtered out of the pool water. If you use Filter Balls instead of
using quartz sand in your existing filter system, you will filter
particleswith a size of >1,5µm out of your pool water.
When using Filter Balls, can the system be backflushed?
Filter Balls have a very high dirt absorption capacity. The dirt particles
adhere very strongly within the Filter Balls and promote even more effective
and finer filtering. In standard filter systems, the performance of the filter
pump is not sufficient to wash out the dirt. Therefore, we advise against
backwashing the filter system when using Filter Balls. We recommend washing by
hand. Regularly check the degree of soiling and clean the Filter Balls as
required.
Storage
The product must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. After which, it is to be stored in a dry location protected from frost.
