Instructions for operation
English
To clean the bath and intakes, use a soft cloth
and liquid neutral detergents which must be
non-abrasive and ammonia-free.
• The most stubborn stains can be removed using
thinners compatible with the staining product
(acetone or suitable thinners).
In these cases great care must be taken, drying
the thinner with a soft cloth immediately after
removing the stain to prevent it attacking the
surface of the bath.
• To restore the initial shine to the surface if there
are traces of scale, use car polish.
In the event of deep scratches, damage and/or
peristent stains, please contact an authorized
Albatros Service Centre.
Maintenance of parts in wood/imitation wood,
the cushions, and the cover
Parts in wood such as side panels, ladder, platforms
etc., should be treated using good-quality wax, oil
and varnishes sold specifi cally for this purpose.
Parts in imitation wood, although these are more
resistant, should be treated in exactly the same way
using the same products.
The product is treated with a special polyurethane
fi nish which provides additional protection. If the
polyurethane layer becomes worn or scratched, a
fresh coat should be applied.
The duration of the varnished finish depends
onwhere it is installed. Obviously, the side panels
will be less subject to wear than the platforms (if
fi tted).
The life of the varnished fi nish can be extended by
applying good-quality wax. Several types of wax
are widely available and designed specifi cally for
application to mini-pool parts.
If the mini-pool is used mainly outdoors, the user can
select from a range of traditional acrylic varnishes
which protect against ultra-violet light, and also
a number of wax products that off er excellent UV
protection. These waxes off er an added advantage
in that they can be applied very rapidly and, in cases
where the colours have been dulled by exposure
to direct sunlight, it is possible to add pigments to
restore the original colour of the surface.
In the event of scratching or heavy soiling of the
wooden slats inside the mini-pool, use an abrasive
sponge similar to those normally used in the
kitchen. Wet the sponge with clean water and rub
the scratched or soiled zone carefully.
After draining the mini-pool, any residual water
should be wiped off as soon as possible to avoid scale
stains on the wooden slats and on the methacrylate
surface. If scale stains remain on the wooden slats
even after wiping, these can be removed using an
abrasive sponge and a scale-removing liquid.
N.B.
The abrasive sponge must be used ONLY on the
wooden slats inside the mini-pool , and NEVER on
the methacrylate surface or the external panels
and platforms.
The cushions and the cover can be cleaned using
neutral detergent and water (do NOT use alcohol-
based products).
The suggestions shown in this section are general
guidelines for the solution of problems that are
more likely to occur.
However, it is advisable to contact a specialist
operator and/or an authorized Albatros Service
Centre for suggestions concerning the most
appropriate solution to any problem.
Maintenance of cartridge fi lters
The fi lters in the skimmer must be periodically
cleaned, according to the amount of use the
mini-
pool
is subject to, and replaced when necessary,
when they show signs of deterioration.
The cartridges are available from
Albatros
authorised dealers and Service Centres.
• Check the skimmer at least once a week to remove
any sediment such as leaves, hair etc.
• Periodically check the fi lters.
With normal use of the
mini-pool
, it is advisable
to clean the fi lters at least once a week.
If necessary, the fi lters should be cleaned, because
clogged fi lters cannot keep the water clean.
They also compromise proper operation of the
system.
