 Assembly

Note: Since all connections have gaskets, there is no need to tighten the nuts too much. This could damage plastic parts.
Note: You’ll need a cross-point screwdriver for the assembly.

Mounting of the drainage bolting into the vessel.
Put the threaded counterpart through the vessel’s drainage opening from the inside (FIG. 1.1). Put a gasket over the protruding thread and screw the socket on (FIG. 1.2). Put the sand strainer into it. Push the strainer inside by screwing on the lid with the sealing O-ring (FIG. 1.3). Hand-tightening is sufficient for connection sealing. You might damage the parts if you use pliers.

For 10L vessels with drainage sockets, proceed as follows.
Put the drainage strainer through the vessel’s drainage opening from the inside (FIG. 1.4). Screw the lid with a gasket onto the socket (FIG. 1.5). Hand-tightening is sufficient for connection sealing. You might damage the parts if you use pliers.

Suction basket completion

Connect the basket bottom to the suction basket itself by snapping in the 6 locks around its circumference. Put a suction pipe into the completed suction basket (FIG. 2.1). Put the unit into the empty vessel (FIG. 2.2) and fix its position by putting the hopper on (FIG. 2.3). The vessel is now ready for filling.

Filling with Sand
Prior to the filling, we recommend that you put the vessel onto the pump platform. The filled vessel is difficult to handle. Fit the vessel side skims with the skims in the stand; the drainage bolting must point away from the switch (FIG. 3.1).
With the hopper put on, fill the vessel with a required amount of sand (FIG. 3.2). The sand level in the vessel should be reaching the top of the side skims (FIG. 3.3). Afterwards, take the hopper off and remove grains of sand and other impurities from the sealing surface of the vessel socket.

Multiport Valve Installation
Put an O-ring through the bottom of the valve and put the valve onto the socket of the filled vessel. Direct the valve so that its PUMP/ČERP socket is pointing in the same direction as the pump outlet in the vessel stand. Afterwards, put both sleeve halves onto the vessel recess, connect with bolts (FIG. 4.3) and tighten evenly.
Insert a small rubber gasket into the pressure gauge opening, screw the pressure gauge body (FIG. 4.1) on with your hand and tighten lightly.
!!! Make sure the screwing is done properly; otherwise, you may damage the fine thread!!! Screw the lid with a gasket onto the WASTE/ODPAD port (FIG. 4.2).

Connection Hose Installation
Put the constraining clamps onto the hose, put elbows with swivel nuts into both ends of the hose (FIG. 5.1).
Insert the particle grate into the side outlet of the pump (FIG. 5.2), ; afterwards connect the prepared hose to this outlet and the PUMP/ČERP port of the valve using swivel nuts and gaskets (FIG. 5.3).
!!! The hose clamps are only to be tightened once the swivel nuts have been tightened!!!

Prefilter and Arbour Assembly
Mount the transparent prefilter onto the suction socket of the pump and then mount the hose connection arbour onto the prefilter (FIG. 6.1).
!!! Pay attention to the shape of the used gasket!!!

6.A For Azuro 6m3/h + Timer filtering equipment with a large prefilter, proceed as follows:
Pull the prefilter body along with a gasket over the pump socket and fix using a swivel nut inside the prefilter; put the impurity basket into the prefilter and close with a lid with the O-ring. Use a swivel nut to mount the elbow with a gasket onto the socket (FIG. 6.2).
!!! Pay attention to the shape of the used gasket!!!
Screw the second connecting hose arbour onto the POOL/BAZÉN port of the valve (FIG. 6.3) / elbow (FIG. 6.4).

Connecting the appliance to the pool – see FIG. 7.1. and 7.2.
Use suitable pool hoses and hose clamps to connect the appliance to the pool.

Product operation

Pump Watering/venting

Remove the lid off the “ODPAD/WASTE” port (FIG. 8.1), turn the lever of the valve to the VENTING position and wait until water starts pouring out of the port (FIG. 8.2). Afterwards, switch the valve lever to the CLOSED position and screw the lid back on. Finally, switch the lever to the FILTERING position. You can now run the filtering.
Prior to the first use or after a sand filling replacement, you first need to rinse the sand.

Start-up
Use the switch at the rear of the filtering equipment to activate the device.
ON – FIG. 9.1
OFF – FIG. 9.2

Prior to plugging the appliance into the mains, check the valve position!
Never turn the appliance on if the six-way valve is in the CLOSED position or if the circulation pipeline is impassable.

2.A Azuro equipment with the “T” marking features an adjustable timer (FIG. 9.3):
Use the moving switch to select the required functionality. The timer can be set by 20-minute steps in a 24-hour cycle. One step corresponds to 20 minutes, which makes 3 steps equal to 1 hour. The LED indicator indicates the device is running.

Operation

Set the valve to the FILTERING position and turn the appliance on. Regularly check the filtering flow-through (pressure on the pressure gauge) and rinse the sand based on the measured values.
It is advisable to set a filtering schedule corresponding to the size and usage of the pool. Proper filtering is contingent upon having the water filtered at least once a day. Therefore, the minimum operation time of the filtering equipment is the volume of the pool divided by the flow-through of the filtering equipment.
Example: When using AZURO 2m3/hr to filter a 10m3 pool, the minimum time would be 5 hours.

Prefilter Cleaning
If the prefilter is visibly dirty or the functionality of the filtering equipment is diminished, clean the prefilter with a stream of water (FIG. 10.1). AZURO 6m³/h + Timer (FIG. 10.2).

Backwash Sand
It is possible to tell by the vessel pressure when it’s necessary to rinse the filtering medium. After the first running with clean filtering sand, make note of the pressure value; if the pressure later rises by more than one unit on the scale, you need to BACKWASH (2–3 minutes) + RINSE (about 30 seconds) – see “Valve Positions”. If filtering is performed every day, it is recommended to rinse the sand at least once per week.
For the filtering functions such as BACKWASH, RINSE and WASTE, you can use the waste set – screw the arbour (or an elbow with the waste hose arbour) directly onto the “ODPAD/WASTE” port instead of a cap.

WHEN DRAINING WATER FROM THE “ODPAD/WASTE” PORT, MAKE SURE YOU COMPLY WITH ALL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTEWATER HANDLING. DO NOT LET THE WATER INTO PLACES WHERE IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE BY FLOODING. THE “ODPAD/WASTE” PORT CAN BE FITTED WITH WASTE HOSE CONNECTION THREADING. WHEN FILTERING, THE “ODPAD/WASTE” PORT SHOULD BE CLOSED BY A CAP.

Controlling the Multi-port Valve

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply prior to valve position changes.

Prior to the handling, wait for about half a minute after the pump has been turned off to let the impurities and sand set down.

Push the lever downwards (FIG. 12.1), turn it to the required position (FIG. 12.2).

Care
Visible impurities are removed using the filtering system. However, that is not the case for algae, bacteria and micro-organisms, which are a constant obstacle when striving for clean, safe water in your pool. There are many specialized preventive products, which in correct concentrations work against all of the above and keep the water in your pool hygienically sound and clean.

Maintenance

During the swimming season, regularly check the operation of the appliance. It is important for identification and remedy of potential defects. The supplier cannot be held liable for damage cause by filtering unit or electrical equipment defects.
Rinse the sand on regular basis. If the rinsing does not improve the permeability of the filtering sand (i.e. the pressure gauge value remains high), change the sand.
Do not use solvents to clean the filter cap or the vessel itself, as you could damage its surface (it could lose its gloss, transparency etc.).

Winterizing

At the end of the season, it is necessary to clean, drain, disassemble and store the filtering equipment. Disconnect the filtering equipment from the pool and use the draining valve, which is located at the bottom of the filtering vessel, to drain the water from the vessel.
Open the filter vessel and take the sand out. Clean the sand and remove any lumps or gobs. Change the sand in the vessel on regular basis.
As preparation for winter, re-assemble the filtering equipment and store it in a winter-resistant and dry room. Turn the valve lever to the VENTING/WINTERIZING position, which is used to winterize the filtering equipment.
Warranty Terms and Servicing
Warranty conditions apply as described in the seller’s warranty certificate.
