1087 Filterballs System 100W

HEAT PUMPS PLUG & PLAY

• Zero cost of installation
• High energy efficiency
• Quiet
• Easy to operate

The Swim & Fun Xpress heat pump collects energy from the air and transfers it to the pool water. For each used kW the heat pump produces 5 kW to the pool. It is a very
energy efficient and environmentally friendly solution, because more than 80% of the energy produced by the Xpress heat pump, is collected from the air.
You can enjoy the bathing experience in the comfortably heated pool water, even though the pump is operating, as the pump is also very quiet.

COVERS
There are pool covers for various purposes. A standard pool cover that prevents dirt in the water. A summer cover with thermo function will help maintain the temperature
of the bath water during the season, and is a must if you have solar heaters or heat pumps connected to your pool. A winter cover, or all-season cover, with wire lock provides security and protects against evaporation. At the same time it prevents sunlight to enter the pool, which can cause increased algae development. And last but not least, a ground cover under the pool protects the liner from sharp elements.

FILTERBALLS GIVES YOU CRYSTAL-CLEAR POOL WATER
Filterballs have a superior filtering effect compared to normal filter sand or loose cartridge filters. Filterballs form an effective filter layer that adapts to the shape of any filter and catches suspended particles in the water down to 10 micrometres. (Filter sand catches suspended particles down to 40-50 micrometres.)
Filterballs are also much easier to handle – 700 grammes of Filterballs replace 25 kg of filter sand. Read more at swim-fun.com and find your nearest distributor.

SOLAR SHOWERS
If you jump in the pool without rinsing yourself under a shower first, you add 200 times more bacteria to the poolwater. A garden shower near the pool makes it easy for everybody to take a quick rinse before dipping in.
And why settle for cold water when you can choose a solar shower where the water is heated by the sun’s rays completely for free.
Our solar showers are easy to install as you simply connect it to a garden hose.

AVOID FROST DAMAGES TO THE POOL, LINER AND SKIMMER
When pools are left with water during the winter, frost may expand the water, thus causing damage to the liner and walls. Winterfloaters and skimmer iceprotectors equalizes pressure to avoid damage.
The winterfloaters can be joined and fitted with a cord across the pool. If your pool is large, you may want to connect several together.

General

Thank you for purchasing a Swim & Fun product. We develop and improve our products on an ongoing basis. Should this product not meet expectations and have a fault or be missing anything, then we are sorry for the inconvenience and ask that you please contact your dealer or our customer service at swim- fun.com
This product is designed for private use and is not suitable for commercial use.
You have purchased a technical product. The management is easy and simple, but requires compliance with certain precautions.
Therefore, we ask that you read the following instructions carefully!
Filterballs in the tank ensure that dirt and other floating particles are efficiently removed from the bathing water.
The dirty water is fed from the pool through a hose to the filter pump, which further pumps the water to the filter tank. When the water is fed through the filter tank, the dirt is captured by the filter balls, and the clean water flows back through the return hose to the pool.
It is necessary to use a skimmer (surface skimmer), in order to use the filter system. It must either be an integrated skimmer (built into the pool wall – photo 1) or a suspended skimmer (hangs over the pool wall – photo 2).The required quantity of Filterballs is included. For subsequent refilling, use approx 320g of filterballs.
This sand filter system has been developed and manufactured to our high standards of durability, safety and handling. If the advice and instructions in the manual are followed, the product will operate flawlessly for many years to come.
NOTE!
If you do not use a pool surface skimmer, there is a risk that the pump can get blocked by leaves and other larger debris. A blockage will cause a gradual reduction of pump
pressure and water circulation. A blocked pump is not covered under the guarantee.
WARNING
The filter system should be placed on a hard surface, such as a concrete slab or similar.
The filter system must NEVER in any circumstances be placed in a low place or directly on the grass, where there is a risk of the motor flooding or overheating. NEVER place or lower the filter and/or pump into the water.

Specifications

Filter pump FT100 ECM / GS, filter tank with Filterballs, hose connection Ø 32/38 mm and platform for pump.

Connection to electricity – safety rules

The pump must be connected to a 230V power source with 30 mA, and be earthed and connected to a residual-current device. ALWAYS remove the plug from the socket when working on the pump and filter.
NOTE!
Before the product is put into service, it is extremely important to read and follow the warnings and precautions contained in this manual. Failure to follow the instructions
may lead to the product being damaged or cause serious personal injury.

Parts list

The following items can be found in the package:

Setting up the sand filter system

Assemble the system at the final location. The distance from the pool to the filter system must be at least 3.5 m. The water temperature must not exceed + 35 o C or drop below 0 o c. Always remove the plug before carrying out any installation work.
NOTE!
The filter system must ALWAYS be placed at the same level as the bottom of the pool, so that the water will flow naturally by itself towards the pump. If the pool is below
ground, the sand filter system must be correspondingly placed in a filter shaft so that the water flows by itself to the pump. Remember that the shaft must remain dry. It must
therefore have a drain so any water is diverted away from the shaft.
5.1 Assembling the filter system

5.2 Connection to the pool (figure 10)

1. Skimmer: Connection from the skimmer to the pump. The suction hose that takes the uncleaned water from the pool (pool skimmer)to the pump must be fitted to the pump’s inlet nozzle with hose clamps.
2. Return: The hose that takes the cleaned water back to the pool must be fitted to the return nozzle on the filter tank.
   All hoses should be properly fixed with hoseclamps. Any leakage can be remedied by using tape on the thread.
   Fill the pool with water – ensure that the water line reaches the middle of the pool skimmer opening.
   Now the system can be started up.

Using for the first time

The filter system must not be run without water, since the water cools the system. The warranty does not cover damage caused by the filter system being run without water.

1. Before you start the filter system, ensure that the system is located beside the pool at the same level as the bottom of the pool and that all the connections are firmly clamped.
2. Let the water flow from the pool to the filter system. Make sure that the water is naturally flowing to the pump through the suction hose from the pool.
   The pump is not self-priming!
   Therefore, both the pool hose and the pump must be completely filled with water (primed) before first use.

TIP!
Priming: Attach a hose to the base of the skimmer and switch on the water. Now the water runs to the pump and completely fills the pump with water. Now start the pump
and as soon as the pump starts to pull water through the system, a negative pressure will be formed in the hoses.
If there is air in the system you can remove it by slightly opening the ventilation valve on the lid.
There is no need to re-prime unless for some reason the hoses have been disconnected.

Operation, water care and accessories

2 x 5 hour filter cycles per day, and cleaning the pool bottom and water line, are all necessary measures for maintaining clean pool water.
What the filter system does not eliminate is algae, bacteria and other microorganisms that cloud and colour the water and affect the water purity and hygiene.
Specific products exist to prevent their appearance and eliminate them. With a correct dose, these products do not cause harm or any problems to the filter system, pool or bathers, but they guarantee that the pool water is perfectly disinfected.
Water care products
For specific water care products see page 2 and visit swim-fun.com for product specifications, guides, tips and useful information on how you maintain crystal clear pool water.
NOTE!
Filterballs needs to be replaced once a year. Alternatively, you can wash them, for example in a washing machine without the use of soap at a max temperature of 30°.
Beware! Cleaning the bottom of the pool
This filter system cannot be used for the vacuuming of the pool floor. For this you will need a pump with a motor power of at least 250W.
W can instead recommend the CleanRunner pool robot (art. 1046)

 Trouble shooting

The pump is not located at the
same level as the pool bottom.| The pump must be lower so the water always flows naturally towards the pump.
The hoses are primed (see the procedure in paragraph 6)
The pressure is too low| The pump or hoses may be blocked with leaves and the like.| Clear the inside of the top valve of dirt and check for impurities, such as leaves etc the hoses.
Leaking filter assembly (be- tween lid and tank)| Worn or dirty gasket| The gasket needs to be replaced with a new gasket, or cleaned and acid-free Vaseline applied.
The pump is not running| The plug is not plugged into the socket
The residual-current device switches off
Faulty pump motor| Plug in
Turn the residual-current device on again Turn it off immediately, either the pump or the residual-current device is defective.
Replace the entire pump.
The pump sucks air (bubbles at the inlet)| Defective hoses Loose hose damps| Replace the hoses Tighten the hose clamps
Insufficient water supply to the skimmer or pump| The water level is too low| Top up the water in the pool, so the water line comes up to the pool edge

NOTE!
Repairs to the sand filter and pump may only be carried out by qualified, professional  firms, otherwise the warranty will lapse.

Winter storage

When the summer season is over, disconnect all hoses. The water MUST be drained completely from the filter. Remember also that the water must be drained from the pump through the inlet or outlet before placing it in a dry, frost-free place. The pump and filter tank are not frost-proof. Frost damage is not covered under the warranty.
