Measure Explanation
Flushing
the quartz
sand
The quartz sand has to be washed out when refilling.
1. 6-way valve (10) in the "RINSE" position

Switch the filter pump on
2. Following the start-up of the pump, run water into
the container and sewage system for
approx. 30 sec
3. 6-way valve (10) in the "BACKWASH" position

Switch the filter pump on
4. Channel the water into the waste water system for
approx. 2 min. This ensures that quartz sand grit
does not flow into the pool through the nozzle.
5. Finally set the valve to "RINSE" for 30 sec
Note:
Too much sand in the filter or too high a pump
performance can lead to losing sand via the sewage
system.
Cleaning the
pre-filter
Building dirt or debris have collected in the pre-filter.

Clean the strainer basket of the pump approx. 10
to 15 min after the initial start-up
Filter -
operation

Set the handle of the valve to "FILTER"

Filter is ready for mechanical water treatment

Switch the filter pump on
Setting the
filter time

The operating time of the filter depends on the
pool volume, frequency of use, weather and
chemicals

Circulate once to twice per 24 hr, e.g.: Pool
volume: 10 m³, should be circulated twice,
meaning that 20 m³ has to be pumped. The pump
capacity is approx. 6 m³ per hour, so the filter has
to run for approx. 3 hr

Take the output of the supplied pump into
consideration

In order to achieve sufficient disinfection on hot
days the filter time has to be increased

Also run the pump on rainy days
