Instruction Manual
Item No: 300/310/400/

**** You bought a technical device. the handling is easy and simple but requires the observance of certain precautions We, therefore, ask you to read the following instructions carefully! For the operation of the filter system, you need a skimmer (surface skimmer). Either an integrated skimmer (built into the pool wall) or a suspended skimmer (attachment to the pool wall).

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 fitter 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 fitter system in a trough or directly into the grass (flood danger or risk of overheating of the filter pump).
If you have sunk your pool partially or completely, so it makes sense to place the filter pump in a filter slot, which should connect directly to the pelvis. Is your filter pump housed in a filter slot, so it has to be insured, that the filter slot can’t be flooded? For this purpose, you should bring in a roller- burnishing (crushed rock) in the range of the filter 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 filter shaft (or sludge pump, with an automatic floating switch). It is important to ensure that the filter slot should never be airtight. because this may cause damage, due to condensation water, on the filter pump. The size of the filter shaft should be selected so that work can be performed on the filter system.

The necessary accessories such as hoses, hose clamps, and filter sand (not included) are offered gladly from your pool dealer.

**** Assembly of the filter system (Illustration 1)

Assembles the filter system at the location where the pump finally will be (the subsequent transport there would be too burdensome!).
The filter pump consists of the following parts:

1. Pump
2. valve
3. Seal (0-Ring)
4. clamping ring
5. vessel
6. Standpipe with connector for filter finger| 7. Filter finger
8. Drain plug
9. Centralizer (cover for standpipe)
10. Base plate
11. Pressure hose
---|---

Filter vessel

1. The standpipe including the connector for the filter finger is inserted into the boiler (Illustration 2) to introduce and connect the small filter finger with the connecting element for the filter finger by screwing. (depending on the model) (Illustration 3)
2. The standpipe with the connector for the filter finger turns off at the bottom of the boiler (finger filter must already be installed), make sure that the standpipe is located on the bottom of the boiler in the middle and that the drain plug was screwed.
3. Now put the centralizer on the tank opening, while centering the standpipe. (Illustration 4)
4. Fill in the filter quartz sand up to a high of about % of the bowl height. (right grit 0,4mm – 0,8mm, Quantity: depending on filter size) (Illustration 4)
5. Then mount the top of the boiler or the valve head and the boiler seal on the tank top of the filter vessel. Before you do this, it is necessary to clean again and wash off any sand or accumulated debris. The connection of the top of the boiler or the head valve with the filter vessel is carried out by the clamping ring. The clamping ring is screwed with the clamping ring screw and the collet nut. (Illustration 5 & 6)
6. Finally, mount the pump fittings on the valve head. Seal the pump fittings sufficiently by using Teflon tape
7. The pressure gauge (if included) is screwed to the side of the 6-way valve and sealed. The existing vent plug should be removed first. illustration 9

**** Pump hose connections (Illustration 7)

1. Skimmers: Connection from the skimmer to the front connector of the filter pump.
2. Pressure line: Connection going from the upper area of the top of the filter pump to the connector with the designation “PUMP” at the 6-way valve.
3. Return line: Connection from the 6-way valve with the designation “RETURN” to the connection at the inlet nozzle (pool). Secure all connections with hose clamps.
4. Backwash: Connection „WASTE” (Empty) in the channel Connections are made with special pool hoses and hose clamps!

Commissioning of the filter system

1. Before you go into operation with the filter system, it must be insured that the filter system stands outside the basin and at a level lower than the water level of the pool. and the hose connections are properly connected and secured.
2. The swimming pool must be filled with water, according to the instructions of your pool dealer. The water must flow towards the filter pump. Now the filter pump is vented. If available. open slightly the preliminary filter of the filter pump until water flows from the prefilter top. (transparent cover with screw connection on the top of the filter pump) For non-self-priming pumps, it is necessary that the water level is above the filter pump
3. Place the handle on the 6 – way valve to the Backwash position. Only now the filter pump is taken in operation. Backwashing about 2 – 3 minutes to perform. Then tum the filter pump off again and put the handle on the valve head in the RINSE position. Rinsing for 30 seconds. Thereafter, the filter pump is switched off again and the handle set to the position FILTER The backwashing and rinse water you best pipe in the channel
4. Turn the filter pump back on. The filter system is in normal filter operation. We recommend a filter run time of 2 x 4 – 5 hours per day. If you clean the bottom of your pool with a pool vacuum cleaner, this is also done in the position filter. After each floor cleaning or when the pressure on the pressure gauge if available (by 2 – 3 ticks) rises, backwashing is required.
5. After BACKWASHING always a FLUSHING with a duration of approximately 30 seconds is required. This causes the reduction of the sand in the filter vessel.
6. 1f you clean your pool with a pool vacuum cleaner, this can also be done with the 6-way valve in the position DRAINING to remove impurities from the pool (eg: algae), which otherwise go back through the filter sand In doing so the water which is extracted from the ground. will be directly pumped through the backwash line into the open air. After this process, the water level of the pool is supplemented accordingly.

Filtration systems may not run dry (without water)!
The water takes the cooling — in case of dry running there is no warranty replacement!
With every switching of the 7-way valve, the filter pump must be turned off!
**** Filer run time (2 x 4 – 5 hours a day) and the regular backwashing (2 — 3 minutes) at least 1 x per week, as well as the floor cleaning, are the basic requirement for maintaining swimming pool water, Repairs on the pump should only be performed by trained and qualified, professional technicians.

Specifications:

All models:
7-way valve, filter pump TIN GS, filter vessel, connection 0 32/38 rim, base plate

Floor cleaning (Illustration 8)

Floor cleaning is done in position filtering (on the valve). The pool-floor vacuum cleaner has to be connected with the pool-floor vacuum cleaner hose directly to the skimmer. Until the pool-floor vacuum cleaner is connected and ready for operation, the filter pump must be switched off.
Important: The pool-floor vacuum cleaner hose must fully be filled with water so that the pump does not filter air, only then the pump can be switched on. Will air get into the filter system, the filter pump is to turn off and the vacuum cleaner must be vented again.
Now move slowly and smoothly (speeding can stir up dirt) with your vacuum cleaning brush on the bottom of the pool.

For filter systems without prefilter a skimmer with a strainer basket is beneficial!

Problem treatment

clamps
The skimmer or pump gets too little water| Check water level and increase if necessary, and check the intake for dirt accumulation
Skimmer basket contaminated| Cleaning of the skimmer basket
The Prefilter basket of the filter pump contaminated| Cleaning oft he prefilter basket

To Winterize the System
At the end of the swimming season, the filter system and the hoses must be removed and emptied. This is done when the filter vessel as well as the filter pump by opening the drain plug. Open the filer vessel and empty the filter sand. Verify that the filter sand is still in reasonable condition (not glued or clumped) and clean it.
Filter systems located outdoors must be located in a frost-free room in the winter.

Care instructions
Visible contaminants are removed through the filtration system. This is not true for algae, bacteria, and other microorganisms, which are also a constant threat to clear, clean and healthy pool water. For their prevention or removal, special water treatment is available, properly and permanently dosed, guarantees for swimmers any kind of harassment, and ensure proper hygienic bath water.
