13. Always remove the plug from the outlet when the device is not in use and/or during
cleaning and maintenance activities. The plug must be removed from the mains outlet by
pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the lead to remove the plug from the outlet.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug must not be inserted into or removed from
the mains outlet with wet hands and/or while you are standing in the water.
15. The device should never be immersed, in whole or in part, in water or any other liquid.
16. The connection lead of the appliance may not be shortened and/or connected directly
without a plug. If the lead becomes damaged, the entire device must be submitted to
authorized/accredited technicians. Devices with cut-off/shortened cables are excluded
from warranty coverage.
17. Use of the equipment for any purpose other than that for which it was designed or
developed is not permitted. Use of the equipment for a purpose other than that for which
it was developed by the manufacturer may lead to unsafe situations.
18. If there is a seasonal risk of freezing of the device, or parts thereof, appropriate measures
must be taken to prevent freezing damage. Damage caused by freezing is always excluded
from warranty coverage.
19. The device has an IP54 protection rating, and is splash proof. Therefore it is not suitable or
intended for outdoor installation.
20. This device may only be used in accordance with the guidelines described in this manual.
You must also adhere to the instructions provided on the device.
21. If you intend to use of the device in combination with pool chemicals, always consult the
manual(s) for this/these product(s). Pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
INSTALLATION (FIGURE 1) (SEE PAGE 4+5)
The installation must always be carried out in a dry and well-ventilated area, at a location
where it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
• The device must be mounted horizontally. Keep in mind to create some space around the device
for maintenance purposes. The touch screen controller should be protected against moist.
• The system was developed for 24/7 operation. If less than 24-hour operations is desired, an
automatic timer system will have to be used.
• For good, correct cleaning of the system, there must not be any back pressure at the sewer
connection. If the back pressure is excessive, the blower will not be powerful enough to clean
the bead filter optimally. In situations where this problem arises, the wastewater will have to
be discharged to a wastewater tank, which must then be pumped out by a wastewater pump
operated by a float switch.
• Check the valves for any residual packaging or other objects that can block the valve from
functioning.
1. Connect the Flow-Matic’s 63mm eccentric fittings (1) to the side connections of the
beadfilter. Most beadfilters have 1½” or 2” threaded connections when you remove the
standard multiport valve and its fittings from the tank. Use standard PVC fittings to adapt

this threading to 63mm. You can turn the unions of the eccentric fittings to position them
exactly on the in/outlet of the filter. The in/outlet of the Flow-Matic is Ø 63 mm. When your
pipe system is smaller than 63 mm you can use the supplied reducers (Ø 63 x Ø 50 mm).
You can dismantle the system, with the unions (3).
2. Place the touch-screen controller with the pipe clips (4) on the pipework near the Flow-
Matic system.
3. Connect the cables to the automatic valves with the cable connectors (5). These
connectors will only fit one way. The cables are labelled with numbers for the
corresponding valve.
4. Place the blower of your beadfilter on the check valve (6) of the Flow-Matic.
5. Remove the aluminium stand from its packing and mount the pipe clip to the stand with
the corresponding fasteners (15 figure 1). This stand supports the system so the weight of
the installation is not on the pipework and the beadfilter connections. Position the pipe
clip to the correct height by sliding it up/down inside the rail and fasten it with the hex bolt.
Put the pipe clip with nut on the bolt and fasten it. Attach the pipe clip to the Flow-Matic.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1. Connect the plug of the circulation pump to terminal 1 (7) of the controller. Blue Eco pump
users can connect a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the female RJ45- connector (9) of both the
controllers.
2. Connect the blower to terminal 2 (8) of the controller.
3. Connect the lead of the Flow-Matic to a mains outlet that is connected according to the
locally applicable standards and laws, with a properly earthed connection protected by a
residual-current device (see also the important safety instructions.
FUSE
The fuse (10) on the side of the controller protects the controller and other components
against short circuits and overload. If the system is shut down (i.e. the pump does not work and
the touchscreen does not light up) due to a short circuit or overload, the fuse can be replaced.
Always switch off the supply voltage before replacing the fuse. Replace the fuse with the same
type: 12A slow blow.
