voltage on the socket corresponds to the technical specifications.
Only connect this product using an easily accessible socket to ensure
it can be rapidly disconnected from the mains in the event of a fault.
Do not operate the product if it exhibits visible damage or the mains
cable/plug is defective. As additional protection, it is recommended
to install a residual current device (FI/RCD) with a tripping current
of no more than 30 mA. Consult with an electrician for advice.

in order to prevent hazards. Consult a specialist workshop. Liability is
waived and warranty claims expire if repairs or changes to the product
are carried out independently of if the product is improperly connected
or operated incorrectly. This product features electrical and mechanical
parts which are indispensable for protecting against potential hazards.
Never touch the plug with wet hands. Never pull out the plug from
the socket using the cable - always pull on the plug. Keep the
product, plug and all cables away from open fires and hot surfaces.
Lay the cable so that it does not pose a tripping risk and do not
place it under the ground. Lay cables in such a way that they will
not be damaged by lawn mowers and other similar devices. Do
not bend the cable and do not lay it over sharp edges. Do not use
an extension cable, multiple socket adapters or other adapters.
Filtration systems must not be operated dry (i.e. without any water)! If
dry run there is no guarantee replacement! Never place the pump or
filter into the pool. The filter pump must be switched off before every
switching operation using the 7-way valve! The filtration system must
not be used if there are people in the water! Install the filtration system at
a suitably safe distance from the pool to prevent children from using the
system as a means of entering the pool. Do not immerse the filter system,
power cable or plug in water or in any other liquids. The filter system’s
pump is designed to ensure good protection against foreign bodies and
water spray. However, it should still be installed in such a way to ensure
adequate protection from the weather. Never carry out any work on the
filtration system while it is still connected to the mains. Hazards posed by
the suction of the pump can lead to serious injury and death if adequate
precautions are not taken. Do not block the suction openings on the
pump or in the pool since this may lead to serious injury or even death.

Operation
The Filter Balls used in the filter tank provide long-lasting filtration of dirt particles
and floating debris. As the water flows through the Filter Balls in the filter tank,
dirt particles are deposited in the sand and thus filtered out of the pool water. The
purified water flows through the 7-way valve back into the pool via the return pipe.
To operate the filter system you need a skimmer (surface
skimmer). Either a built-in skimmer (installation in the pool
wall) or a suspended skimmer (attachment to the pool wall).
Location determination
The installation location of the filter system between the skimmer and inlet
nozzle should ensure a sufficient safety distance to the pool wall. We recom-
mend placing the filter system on a level base (for example, washed concrete
slabs or similar). The correct alignment must be checked with a spirit level.
Under no circumstances may you place your filter system in a sunken area
or directly in the green area. (Risk of flooding and / or risk of hot running of
the filter pump). If you have partially or completely sunk your pool system, it is
advisable to place the filter system in a filter shaft, which connects directly to
the pool area. If your filter system is housed in a filter shaft, it must be ensured
that the shaft does not get flooded. For this purpose, we recommend adding
drainage (gravel) to the filter shaft so that surrounding and rainwater can seep
away. It would be ideal to connect the pump sump of the filter shaft directly to
a channel or drain (for example submersible pump with float switch). It is im-
perative to ensure sufficient natural ventilation in the filter shaft. Otherwise, the
formation of condensation could damage the filter pump. The size of the filter
shaft should be selected so that work on the filter system can be carried out.
