Maintenance of the filtering system
CLEANING THE FILTER
Perform this procedure each time you need to clean the filter.
When the pressure increases 0.2 bar regarding the starting pressure you need to clean as follows.
Make sure that you have correctly installed the emptying tube (not included) in the collector of the multi-directional flap, so that
it allows water evacuation when the sand or filer is cleaned.
1. Stop the filtering.
2. Put the multi-directional flap to the WASH position.
3. Start the filter and let it work for at least 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Stop the filtering again, put the multi-directional flap into RINSE position and re-start the filter for 10 seconds.
5. Stop the filer and put the multi-directional flap into FILTERING position.
6. Re-start the filter and check that the pressure is correct.
CLEANING THE POOL
With a manual pool cleaner
1. Connect the pool cleaner tube
2. Introduce the pool cleaner into the water
3. Fill the tube with water placing it before the refilling fitting with key.
4. Place the other end in the pool cleaner outlet.
5. You should slowly move the pool cleaner (to avoid moving the dust) and without taking it out of the water, to avoid deactivating
the pump.
6. When you have finished the cleaning, clean the filter before putting it into its normal position.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- You should check that the suction holes are not blocked.
- You should stop the filtering during the maintenance operations of the filtering system.
- Periodically check the greasing level of the filter.
Maintenance and wintering of the filter requires water evacuation. The evacuation should be foreseen when installing the
filter group evacuaciones para la instalación del grupo de filtración.
Water treatment
Whichever is your filtering system, you will need to chemically treat the pool water to destroy the bacteria and the micro-bodies
and to avoid development of algae.
Several sterilization products can be used, like chloride, bromine, oxygen, etc.
Request the assessment of a pool treatment product sales person to take a decision.
First, you have to verify the pH level using an analysis kit. Pay attention that the test bottles are only valid for one year.
The ideal level is between 7.2 and 7.4 of pH and 1.5 regarding CHLORIDE.
Rectify this level using pH correctors (increasers or reducers).
The quantity of product is proportional to the cubic meters of your pools.
To treat your pool, check the indications appearing on the product you have chosen for your pool.
pH (potential hydrogen) You should always maintain the water pH between 7.2 and 7.4 because below these values the water
becomes corrosive (due to acidity) and rapidly deteriorates the metal parts of your pool. Above these values the water is basic
and greatly reduces the action of treatment.
Never introduce chlorine tablets directly into the pool. The liner would be «burnt». The tablets are placed into the skimmer
basket.
