OPERATION RECOMMENDATIONS
iMPOrtANt:
When starting up the filter for the first time, observe the direction in which the water is flowing: in the “Filtration” posi-
tion, water should pass though the filter from the top to the bottom. If the pipes were inverted during assembly, or the
multiport valve is defective, water could cross the filter from the bottom to the top. This would rapidly lead to damage to
both the tank and the laterals. The following indicate inverted assembly:
- a low pressure reading on the pressure gauge.
- a flow rate that drops rapidly even after back washing the filter even though the filter basket is clean.
- persistently cloudy pool water.
filter rUN tiMeS:
The filter run time corresponds to the theoretical time taken for all the pool water to pass through the filter. In
family pools, the recommended run time is 6 hours minimum.
We recommend the following as a function of water temperature:
- below 14° C: 5 to 6 hours per day.
- from 15° to 23° C: 6 to 8 hours per day.
- above 23° C: 10 to 12 hours per day.
The filter run time should be increased with increasing temperature and/or with increasing bather load.
To optimise filtration, run the filter only during the day (between 8 am and 9 pm), and generally while the pool is in use.
(One swimmer pollutes 3m3 of water).
- Carry out a prolonged back wash of the filter,
- Treat the pool water with winterizing products.
- Run the pump with the valve set to "circulation" to homogenise the concentration of these chemicals in the pool
water.
- Stop the pump,
- Open the valve on the waste line,
- Close the skimmer and vacuum point valves,
- Turn the pump on,
- Lower the water level by about 30 cm,
- Next, drain the filter by unscrewing the drain plug at the base,
- Close all the valves,
- Unscrew the drain plugs on the motor,
- Cut power to the control panel,
- Store the motor somewhere dry.
