REX NORDIC Classic 310 Steinbach Pump and Filter

Keep the operating instructions for further use. If you pass on the device to a third party, you must pass on these operating instructions as well.

Intended use

This device has been designed exclusively for cleaning pool water. It can be used in salt water as long as the salt content of the water is less than 0.5% (salt electrolysis). It removes visible dirt and is suited for all standard pools with a hose connection of 0 32/38 mm. The filter medium in the filter tank filters dirt particles out of the flowing water and serves as permanent dirt and floating debris filter for your pool water. The cleaned water flows back into the pool via the 7-way valve and the return line. Use exclusively quartz filter sand that meets the DIN EN 12904 directive as filter medium. Alternatively, use Steinbach Filter Balls. Please refer to the section Technical data for the required quantities. This product is exclusively intended for private use and not suited for the commercial sector. Only use the device as described in these operating instructions. Any other use is considered inappropriate and may lead to material damage or even injury. The device is not a toy. The manufacturer or retailer will not assume any liability for damage caused by inappropriate or incorrect use.

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. Maaskiley . sure that the filter shaft cannot be flooded and that ambient and rainwater can drain away  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 returnecfto 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 1s 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.

BACKWASH

Do not backwash when using Steinbach Filter Balls. If the filter throughput decreases, we recommend washing the filter calls by hand. If necessary, exchange the filter balls.
Let the pump run in this mode for at most 2 minutes if starting it up for the first time or if new quartz filter sand was filled in, 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. Collected dirt is detached and flushed out via the backwash 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 su line. Make sure to switch the pump off once this level is reached to prevent the pur 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.

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 treamen ni vtreme cases Hair or clothing might get sucked into the suction openings of the pool and in extreme cases “Never operate water treatment system devices while persons are in the pool.

Align the valve head so that the PUMP of the oumns wards tne tuture position ne pun Place the locking ringQ around the valve head and filter vessel conñecting point.

Insert the screws of the locking ring and tighten them clockwise.

Fitting the line connections

Some hoses, such as the pressure hose, are very stif. Place them in the sun before use So that the heat makes them more flexible.. Only hand-tghten all screw connections. Excessive tightening of the screw connections damages gaskets and plastic components. Use suitable pool hoses 32/38 mm for the described connections, Other pool hoses such as INTEX With threadea connecion require additional adapters.

To connect a swimming pool hose to the pump or filter vessel

Guide a hose clamp over the hose. Push the hose onto the hose connection. Fix the hose clamp on the hose connection using a Phillips screwdriver PH1. The swimming pool hose is connected.

To connect swimming pool hose to the hose adapter of the pump or filter

vessel

Screw the hose adapter into the connection thread. Guide a hose clamp over the hose. Push the hose onto the hose adapter. Fix the hose clamp on the hose adapter using a PH  Phillips screwdriver. The swimming pool hose is connected to the hose adapter.
