A hose which extends beyond the length required to reach all points of the pool is more difficult to use. Cut off the section
of the hose which is not needed. Check that the rubber terminals conserve their seal.
Priming the bottom cleaner hose:
Insert the bottom cleaner into the pool vertically, with the pole and the hose connected. Let it fill with water and keep the
rest of the hose outside of the water. Continue to insert the hose in the water slowly by 50 cm sections which should be
submerged at the same time as they are completely filled with water. Proceed up until the end, when the entire hose is
filled with water and submerged. If the hose is not fully primed, the bottom cleaner will not perform suction and the
cleansing unit may be damaged if it is forced to operate when it is empty.
Rinsing in models AR710 and AR715
After “WASHING” the filter and placing the installation in the “FILTERING” position, the water flowing to the pool will be
cloudy for a few seconds. To avoid this cloudy water from circulating in the swimming pool, the “RINSING” operation
should be performed as follows. Immediately after “WASHING”, stop the pump, place the selector valve in the “RINSING”
Fig 7,
position and connect the pump for 1 minute. After this time, stop the pump and place the valve in the “FILTERING”
position.
Recirculation in models AR710 and AR715
In this position the selector valve allows the water from the pump to go directly to the swimming pool without passing
through the inside of the filter

.
Closed
The CLOSED setting of the selector valve is used to prevent water from circulating through the hoses and the filter
Fig 7
.
6 REPLACING THE CABLE
If the cable is damaged, proceed as follows:
•
Disconnect the unit from the power outlet.
•
Loosen the screws which secure the connection box cover and lift the cover (
Fig. 13/14
).
•
Disconnect the connection box terminals from the pump. Take note of its position.
•
Remove the cable so that it can be replaced and then proceed in the opposite order of that described (
Fig 11
.)
7 MAINTENANCE
After the bathing season has ended, the filter should be kept in a dry place where it is protected from inclement weather.
For this purpose, after performing a final backwash to clean the silica sand, dismount the hoses and drain the water in the
filter through the tank drain plug until it is completely empty.
After removing all of the water from the filter, carefully clean the remains of silica sand from the thread before replacing
the plug. Failure to do so could damage the thread.
The filter tank drain plug should only be used in this operation.
VERY IMPORTANT: Following an extended period of inactivity, before starting up the filter check that the drive shaft is
not jammed. Remove the protective housing as shown in section
Fig 10
. After winding the motor, use a flat screwdriver to
move it by the end which is visible through the metal ventilation cover, until it is released and the shaft turns to the right
and the left. If it does not turn, clean the wheel of the turbine as shown in section 7.1.
After stoppage for an extended period, it is also recommendable to make sure that the filter is primed before starting up.
Pump
care
The filter pump is designed to operate without any specific maintenance. However, if the unit is used in pools which are
extremely dirty, especially with leaves, this may cause the pump shaft to jam. In this case, proceed as follows:
•
Disconnect the unit from the power point.
•
Place the valve on the closed setting.
•
Insert the sealing plug on the skimmer.
•
Disconnect the suction hose and discharge hose from the pump.
•
Loosen the screws which secure the cover to the pump body.
•
Clean the wheel. If you see that it is broken, ask the pool manufacturer for a replacement.
•
Reinsert the pump cover. Ensure that the coupling is fully centred and firmly tightened.
•
Reassemble the suction hose and the discharge hose on the pump.
•
Remove the sealing plug from the skimmer.
Troubleshooting and technical service
This filter and its instructions are designed for domestic use, with no need for professional supervision, except for
exceptional cases. Here we shall describe the problems and causes which may arise after years of service of the filter
that you can repair yourself. If you cannot solve the problem, contact the pool manufacturer at the telephone indicated in
the instructions.
