Filter tank
1. Insert the standpipe (7) with the filter screen (19) into the tank (12) (Il-
lustration 2) until the standpipe with the filter screen reaches the bottom
of the tank (12).
2. Make sure that the standpipe (7) is in the middle. The drainage screw
(11) of the tank should be inserted.
3. Remove the Filter Balls from the plastic wrapper and fill the
Filter Balls into the tank. Please note that the Filter Balls
must be filled loosely and should not be pressed down or
squeezed. This significantly affects the filter performance.
4. Now place the centring device on the tank open-
ing, thereby centring the standpipe (7). (Illustration 4)
5. Before you install the valve head (1), it is imperative to clean the seal-
ing surfaces (3 + 4) and screw connections/threads again and to wash
off residues or dirt. The connection of the valve head to the filter tank is
done using the clamping ring (6) The clamping ring is screwed together
with the clamping ring screw and clamping ring screw nut. (Illustration
5 and 6 + 7)
6. Finally, mount the connecting pieces on the valve head (1). Seal the
connecting pieces sufficiently for installation with a sealing tape.
7. The pressure gauge (2), if included in the scope of delivery, is mounted
and sealed at the side of the 7-way valve. The existing bleed screw
should be removed first. (Illustration 9)
Hose connections pump (Illustration 8)
1. Skimmer pipe: Connection from the skimmer
connection to the front connection on the filter pump.
2. Pressure pipe: Connection from the top connection of the filter
pump to the connection labelled “PUMP” on the 7-way valve.
3. Return pipe: Connection from the connection on the 7-way
valve labelled “RETURN” to the connection on the inlet
nozzle (pool). Fix all the connections with hose clamps.
4. Backflush pipe: Connection “WASTE” (emptying)
into the channel. The connections are to be made
with special swimming pool hoses and hose clamps!
Filter system installation instructions
Once the filter system is completely assembled, the Filter Balls are in the
tank and all inlet and outlet pipes are connected, commissioning can continue.
Do not turn on the power until this is expressly mentioned.
■ Make sure that the power cord (electric cable) of the pump is
disconnected from the mains.
■ Ensure that the valve lever is in the “closed” position.
■ Make sure that the filter system is located outside the pool and lower than
the water level of your pool, and that all inlet and outlet pipes are properly
connected and fixed.
■ If your pool is not filled yet, fill it with water. Make sure that the water level
of the pool is at least 2.5 to 5 cm above the opening of the filling nozzle
(skimmer).
■ Open the shut-off valve on the filling nozzle (skimmer) of the pool. If you
have closed the filling nozzle (skimmer) with a plug, remove it now.
■ As the position of the filter system is lower than the water level of the
pool, the filter system now automatically fills with water.
■ The filter system should now be 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 container to run full of water.
■ Check the filter system, as well as the connections of the inlets
and outlets, for leaks. Leakage points may possibly arise due to
manufacturing tolerances, which need to be resolved by wrapping sealing
tape around the connections before the connection hose is attached.
■ Set the 7-way valve into the filter position.
■ Connect the pump to the power supply.
■ Your filter system is now ready for use.
Backwash procedure
In contrast to standard filter systems with sand filling, for a filter system with
Filter Ballsno backwashing should be carried out. If the filter performance
should decrease, we recommend washing the Filter Balls by hand.
If necessary, the Filter Balls should be replaced.
Filter modes
Settings Complete water flow or function
Filter Function: Suction, normal filter operation. In this position,
the pool water sucked in is introduced from above into the
filter tank, and flows through the Filter Balls. In the process,
impurities are filtered out and the water is then returned to
the pool.
Rins
e
Function: This process should take place after initial start-
up. In this position, the water is introduced into the upper
area of the filter tank and the valve rinsed. The water flows
through the soil pipe again.
Circulation
Function: Circulates the water after a chemical treatment.
This position is used when performing chemical treatments
on the pool water, if is not desired that the Filter Balls come
into contact with the treatment chemicals. In this position,
the water sucked in is returned directly from the valve to the
pool, without flowing through the Filter Balls.
Back
wash
In contrast to standard filter systems with sand filling, for
a filter system with Filter Ballsno backwashing should be
carried out. You will notice that it is time to clean the Filter
Balls when the pressure gauge pressure is 0.3 to 0.6 bar
above the normal operating pressure. If the filter perfor-
mance should decrease, we recommend washing the Filter
Balls by hand.
If necessary, the Filter Balls should be replaced.
Closed Function: Cleaning the pre-filter. This position stops the flow
of water into the pump and filter.
CAUTION: Never turn on the pump in this position.
Emptying Function: Bypass the filter. This function is ideal for empty-
ing heavily contaminated pools or after an algae treatment.
In this position, the filter is bypassed and the water is
discharged directly through the soil pipe.
Winter Function: Wintering and storage. In this position, the valve
lever is in an intermediate position. In this way the internal
valve components are relieved. If the filter system is stored
in winter, turn the 7-way valve to this position.
CAUTION: Never turn on the pump in this position.
Filtering time
The swimming pool’s water should be circulated and filtered at least
3 to 5 times in a 24 hour period, depending on the load and the size
of the filter system. The time required is based on the performance
of the filter system and the size of the swimming pool. However,
we recommend a minimum running time of 12 hours per day.
Electrical connection
The filter system you have purchased is equipped with a connection cable,
which may only be connected to a circuit with a residual current circuit
breaker (RCCB) with a rated residual current of no more than 30mA.
