ENGLISH
Once in the filter, the water is circulated downwards
through silica sand and suspended particles are retained.
The filter sand needs to be washed at intervals to remove the particles it has
retained backwash.
This is achieved by reversing the flow through the filter and directing the
water containing the dislodged particles to drain.
When the filter pressure reaches over 1.3 kg/cm², it means that the sand
filter needs to be backwashed.
Bearing these principles in mind, the following installation and operation
instructions should not represent any problem.
INSTALLATION
The filter should be installed as close as possible to the swimming pool and
preferably at a level of 0.50 metres below the surface of the water in the
swimming pool. Make sure there is drainage available at the place where the
filter is to be installed.
IMPORTANT: Do not use an iron and hemp pipe for the selector valve
connection, it is essential to use plastic accessories and TEFLON tape. Pipe
terminals are available threaded fixing in 1 ½ and 2”.
Always leave enough space around the filter in order to perform the necessary
examinations and maintenance during the filter's life.
ASSEMBLY
Follow these indications for a correct assembly of the filter:
1.- Place the filter on a horizontal and clean surface.
2.- Place the filter in its final location.
