•
Loosen the upper triangular knob on the valve until the cover can be lifted from its housing and turned. Place the valve
on the backwash setting, reinserting the cover in its housing and retightening the knob. Do not overtighten the knob as
the valve may be damaged
Fig 7
.
•
Connect the third hose to the valve waste outlet and direct the other end of the hose to a drain or sewer.
•
Start up the filter for approximately 2 min (until no further impurities are released with the water).
•
Stop the filter and leave it at a standstill for 2 min. to allow the silica sand to settle and prevent it from being released
into the pool.
•
Reset the valve to the desired setting (filtration or closed) and remove the hose from the drain outlet
Fig 7
.
To perform filter backwash, proceed as follows in models AR710 and AR715:
•
Disconnect the filter from the power outlet. Never move the selector valve when the motor is running.
•
Press firmly on the upper valve control until the front rib is released from the housing and can turn on its own axis
Fig 7
.
•
Turn the control gently until the front rib is aligned with the housing of the backwash operation
Fig 7
.
•
Connect the ø38 mm x 1.5 m hose using the 1 ½” sleeve to the valve waste outlet and point the other end of the hose
to a drain or sewer.
•
Start up the filter and operate for approximately 2 min., until impurities are no longer released to the water. This can
be observed through the transparent viewing window on the side.
•
Stop the filter.
•
Place the valve in the rinsing position and connect the filter for a few seconds
Fig 7
.
•
Stop the filter, go to the required filter position and remove the hose from the waste position if required

.
Draining the swimming pool
The filter allows you to drain the pool almost completely after the bathing season has ended. To do so, place the upper
selector valve on the waste setting
Fig 7
. Before plugging in the filter, connect the
ø38 mm x 1.5 m
hose to the valve waste
outlet and point the other end of the hose towards a drain or sewer. Then, depending on the skimmer model, proceed as
follows:
In model with wall skimmer for Dream Pools (Pos 1 Fig 3) and Jet Pool (Pos 2 Fig 3):
•
Remove the inner basket from the skimmer and cover the suction inlet with the plug supplied for this purpose.
•
Disconnect the suction hose from the skimmer inlet. Loosen the clamp that secures the hose and hold the hose so
that no water leaks and submerge immediately in the pool so that it remains primed.
•
Weigh down the end of the this hose with a heavy object which cannot damage the liner so that it is forced to sink to
the bottom of the pool.
•
Start up the pump and drain the pool. Remember that the filter will not fully drain the pool. When a few cm. of water
are left and the pump no longer sucks in water, shut it off.
•
Once the pump to drain the pool is on, do not stop the process until it is finished, to ensure that it does not become
unprimed.
•
If you are going to refill the pool with water, first remove the remaining water by hand without damaging the liner.
•
If you are going to disassemble the pool, you can fold the liner with the remaining water in the centre.
•
Remove the plate in the DREAM POOL model or the tubes in the JET POOL model.
•
Unfold the liner in order to drain it fully.
•
This operation should not be performed except to disassemble the pool.
In model with self-supporting skimmer for Magic Pools (Pos 3 Fig 3):
To empty the pool, you can use the pool drain or the cleansing unit:
•
Raise the self-supporting skimmer until it is hanging outside the pool, to prevent water from entering the skimmer.
•
Disconnect the suction hose from the skimmer inlet by the outer part of the pool wall. Loosen the clamp that secures
the hose carefully so that the liner is not damaged. Hold the hose so that it does not leak and submerge it immediately
in the pool so that it remains primed.
•
Weigh down the end of the suction hose with a heavy object that cannot damage the liner so that it is forced to sink to
the bottom of the pool.
•
Start up the pump and drain the pool. Remember that the filter will not fully drain the pool. When the pump no longer
sucks in water, shut if off.
•
Once the pump to drain the pool is on, do not stop the process until it is finished, to ensure that does not become
unprimed.
•
If you are going to refill the pool with water, first
remove the remaining water through the drain
without damaging
the pool.
THE HOSE SHOULD NOT CONTINUE SUCTIONING THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL LINER. THE PUMP MAY BE
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED IF IT OPERATES WITHOUT WATER CIRCULATION. THE LINER MAY ALSO BE
DAMAGED BECAUSE OF SUCTION.
Cleaning the bottom of the pool
In order to clean the bottom of the pool, use the pump filter with one of the following accessories:
“Riñón” bottom cleaner, “Oval” bottom cleaner (you will also need a ø38 mm hose and the pole). To purchase these
items, consult your establishment or ask the After-Sales Service provided by the pool manufacturer. Always use original
replacement parts.
