pump pull out the power cord and let the system cool down. The floating ring seals can be
damaged if the pump is running dry and should be replaced if this happened.
Do not expose the pump to rain or humidity. Avoid any dripping connectors. Do not place the
pump in a wet or humid environment. Make sure the pump and the electrical plugs are located
in an area, which is secured against flooding.
The pump must not be operated, if the inlet valve is closed.
It is absolutely forbidden to touch with the hands into the openings of the pump, if the device is
connected to the power supply.

．
Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and
the mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connec-
tions. A damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified
service staff.

．
Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and firmly
standing.

．
To put the unit into operation, please plug the mains plugs into a 230V AC socket. If the water level has
reached or exceeded the cut-in level, the pump will start to run immediately.

．
To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.

．
The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. SPF series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection fea-
ture. In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For
possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the “Troubleshooting / tips” section 10.
8.1. Please note for the first operation
To prevent unnecessary strain on piping system and valves always shut off pump before
switching filter control 4 position valve positions.
All inlet and outlet valves must be open when starting the system. Otherwise this can cause
severe damage of the pump.
1
．
Press the top mount 4 position valve handle down and rotate to backwash position
2
．
Prime and start the pump according to these instructions.
3
．
Once water flow is steady out the waste line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes. The initial back-washing of
the filer is recommended to remove any impurities of fine sand particles in the sand media.

．
Turn pump off and set valve to rinse position. Start pump and operate until water in sight glass is clear -
about ½ to 1 minute. Turn pump off, set valve to FILTER position and restart pump. Your filter is now operat-
ing in the normal filter mode, filtering particles from the pool water
High suction lift or long suction hoses require additional time and reduce the performance of the
pump. If the pump does not prime, repeat steps 1 and 2.
Note:
Regular maintenance of the pump and sand filter extends the life cycle of the pump and increases the efficiency.
If the water level to be dropped in the sand filter tank, you should fill up the tank again before recommissioning.
1. Remove the translucent lid and fill the filter tank with water.
2. Replace the lid ensuring
the o-ring is correctly located and start the pump.
After you have done this allow a few minutes (maximum) running for the pump to start delivering water.
8.2. Functions of the 4-position valve of the sand filter
：
Filter
– Set valve in position filter for normal filter operation.
Backwash : for cleaning the filter. When filter pressure gauge raises 0.5 bar above start-up, a cleaning of the filter
must be done:
Stop the pump, set valve to backwash. Start pump and backwash for approximately 2 minutes or less depending
on dirt accumulation. Proceed to rinse.
Rinse After backwashing, with pump off, set valve to rinse. Start pump and operate for about 1 minute. This en-
sures that all dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the filter to waste, preventing possible return to the
pool. Stop pump, set valve to FILTER and start pump for normal filtering.
Winter position
– All valves are opened. In this position the pressure on the sealing’s is relieved.
