If you have sunk your pool partially or completely, so it makes sense to
place the filter pump in a filter slot, which should connect directly to the
pelvis. Is your filter pump housed in a filter slot, so it has to be insured,
that the filter slot can’t be slooded. For this purpose you should bring
in a roller-burnishing (crushed rock) in the range of the filter slot, so
that the surrounding- and rainwater can seep away. It would be ideal if
there is a direct connection to the drain in the sump of the filter shaft (or
sludge pump, with automatic floating switch). It is important to ensure
that the filter slot should never be airtight, because this may cause
damage, due to condensation water, on the filter pump. The size of the
filter shaft should be selected so that work can be performed on the filter
system.
Installation
Assembly of the filter system (Illustration 1)
Assemble the filter system at the location where the pump finally will be
(the subsequent transport there would be too burdensome!). The filter
pump consists of the following parts:
1. Pump
2. Valve
3. Seal (O-Ring)
4. Clamping ring
5. Vessel
6. Standpipe with connector for filter finger
7. Filter finger
8. Drain plug
9. Centralizer (cover for standpipe)
10. Base plate
11. Pressure hose
Filter vessel
1. The standpipe including connector for filter finger is inserted into
the boiler (Illustration 2) to introduce and connect the small filter
finger with the connecting element for the filter finger by screwing.
(depending on the model) (Illustration 3)
2. The standpipe with the connector for filter finger turn off on the
bottom of the boiler (finger filter must already be installed), make
sure that the standpipe is located on the bottom of the boiler in the
middle and that the drain plug was screwed.
3. Now put the centralizer on the tank opening, while centering the
standpipe. (Illustration 4)
4. Fill in the filter quarz sand up to a high of about ¾ of the bowlhight.
(Illustration 4)
5. Then mount the top of the boiler or the valve head and the boiler
seal on the tank top of the filter vessel. Before you do this, it is
neccassary to clean again and wash off any sand or accumulated
debris. The connection of the top of the boiler or the head valve with
the filter vessel is carried out by the clamping ring. The clamping
ring is screwed with the clamping ring screw and the collet nut.
(Illustration 5 & 6)
6. Finally, mount the pump fittings on the valve head. Seal the pump
fittings sufficiently by using teflon tape.
7. The pressure gauge (if included) is screwed to the side of the 7-way
valve and sealed. The existing vent plug should be removed first.
(Illustration 9)
Pump hose connections (Illustration 7)
1. Skimmers:
Connection from skimmer to the front connector of the
filter pump.
2. Pressure line:
Connection going from the upper area of the top of
the filter pump to the connector with the designation „PUMP“ at the
7-way valve.
3. Return line:
Connection from the 7-way valve with the designation
„RETURN“ to the connection at the inlet nozzle (pool). Secure all
connections with hose clamps.
4. Backwash:
Connection „WASTE“ (Empty) in the channel.
Connections are made with special pool hoses and hose clamps!
Filter system installation instructions
Once the filter system has been properly assembled, the sand chamber
filled with sand and the hoses connected as described above, you
may begin with filtration. However, we recommend that you clean and
prepare the new sand that is in the sand chamber first. Cleaning the
sand prior to filtering your pool will remove most of the dust and tiny
sand particles that may exist in the sand. If you move straight to filtering,
these particles will end up in your pool. To clean the sand, please follow
the instructions below:
Do not plug the system in until advised to do so below.
■ Make certain the pump is not plugged in to a power supply.
■ Ensure that the valve lever is in the “closed” position.
■ Before operating the filter system, it is important to ensure that the
filter system is positioned outside the pool and is lower than the pool’s
water level. The hose connections must also be correctly connected
and fastened.
■ If you haven’t done so already, fill your pool with water. Ensure that
the water level is at least 2,5 – 5 cm above the top of the hose intake
(Skimmer) and return ports in the pool.
■ Release the shut off valve at the intake port (Skimmer) in the pool. If
you plugged the intake port (Skimmer), remove the plug to allow the
water to flow into the intake hose.
■ With the filter-pump system installed in a location level lower than your
pool’s water level – water will automatically flow into the pump-filter
system.
■ The filter system is now vented. If applicable, ensure that the filter
pump’s pre-filter guard is slightly open until the water runs from the
pre-filter container (transparent lid with screw fitting on the upper
surface of the filter pump).
■ Allow the filter tank to fill with water.
■ Check the filter system and the connection hoses for leaks and resolve,
if necessary. Leakage points may possibly arise due to manufacturing
tolerances, which need to be resolved by wrapping teflon tape around
the connections before the connection hose is attached.
■ Follow the backwash process described below.
Backwash Prozess
■ S Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
■ Attach backwash hose (not included) to backwash port.
■ Place the Multi-Port Valve in the “Backwash” position.
■ Reconnect to power source.
■ Run filter in BACKWASH mode until discharge water is clear.
■ Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
■ Place the Multi-Port Valve in the “RINSE” position.
■ Reconnect to power source.
■ Allow filter to run for 60 seconds to remove any remaining residue
from pump and valve.
■ Disconnect the Motor/Pump from the Power Source.
■ Place the Multi-Port Valve in the “Filtration” position.
■ Reconnect to power source.
■ Your filtration system is RUNNING and ready for further operation.
Filter operations
Setting
Complete water flow/function
Filters
Function: Vacuum, regular pool filter action. This is
the setting the filter will be set to most of the time. In
this position, water is directed through the top of the
filter where it compresses and flattens down the sand.
Contaminants are trapped by the sand as water makes
it way to the bottom strainer, out of the filter and back
to the pool.
Rinse
Function: Use after backwashing to clean the filter
bed. This should always be done immediately after
backwashing, new sand addition or filter start-up.
The water is chanelled into the upper part of the filter
container in this position, and the valve is rinsed whilst
the water runs off via the waste pipe.
