Installation and operating instructions
1. THE PRODUCT
The FPS series filters with pumps (drawing 1) are employed in filtering above ground and in-ground
pools, where careful and expert water cleaning is required.
2. FIELD OF USE
The filter/pump is positioned at least 3.5 m from the edge of the pool. The water temperature must not
exceed 35° and must not go under 4°.
Disconnect the plug before starting to do any work.
3. FILTER/PUMP INSTALLATION
The filter/plug is made up of the following parts (drawing 2):
1 - a pump
2 - a valve
3 - a gasket
4 - a closing flange
5 - a container
6 - a tube with a manifold
7 - small sand guard filters
8 - a drain cock
9 - a spigot
10 - a supporting base
Before installing the filter pump unit identify the position in which it is to be installed, as once it has been
filled up with sand, the filter is hard to move due to its weight.
Filter part installation
Insert the tube with the manifold into the container (drawing 3) and screw the small sand guard filters
to the manifold (drawing 4).
Place the completed manifold on the foundation and add a span of water to stabilize it.
Place the spigot on the mouth of the container, making sure the tube is centred on the manifold. Fill with
sand to a span from the container neck (drawing 5).
Remove the spigot, clean the filter mouth carefully and insert the 4-way valve (drawing 6), making sure
there is no sand. Insert the flange and tighten the fastening screws (drawing 7).
The filter is now ready.
4. PUMP AND WALL SKIMMER CONNECTIONS
The pump must be positioned on its special seat on the supporting base and fixed to the base with the
screws it is equipped with (1 drawing 8).
1) Connect the OUT delivery side of the pump with the PUMP union of the valve. Use the coupling and
the clamps it is equipped with (1-2 drawing 9).
2) Connect the Skimmer union with the IN suction of the pump.
