3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
a. An optimum water level is the middle of the skimmer overflow.
b. Clean the skimmer basket on a daily basis.
c. The skimmer must not get frozen when filled with water. Winterise the pool before the advent of any frosts.
d. The skimmer can also be operated also if the pool outlet is connected – see Annex C, Care for pool water.
Return fitting adjustment
It is possible to adjust the direction of the water stream coming from the fitting – rotate the internal fitting ball into the required position.
The water stream should be directed from the skimmer overflow hole. To achieve the optimum effect of drawing surface impurities into
the skimmer, it is necessary that the water can “rotate” in the pool “.
4. WINTERISING
Proceed according to the instructions provided for in the Pool Instructions before the advent of frosts.
C) POOL MAINTENANCE
Pool water does not only get contaminated with visible impurities (dust, leaves, sand, twigs…), but also micro-organisms (bacteria, algae,
fungi and viruses). Even after washing, every swimmer deposits a vast number of impurities into a pool, such as sweat, hair, sebum and
cosmetic and sunbathing lotion residue. Someone who has not taken a shower before entering the pool may bring an 600 million to 3.5
billion bacteria, germs and viruses into water. They subsequently form an ideal breeding environment for further bacteria, algae, fungi and
viruses. For this reason, water must be treated on a regular basis to ensure sanitation is preserved.
MAIN PRINCIPLES OF POOL OPERATION
Filling of the Pool – Commencement of operation
Before filling the pool, especially after winterising, the pool should be cleaned of all impurities (lime sediments, dust, organic residue).
Proper cleaning of the pool makes water maintenance easier.
Fill the pool with water and set the filter in motion; keep it in operation for at least 24 hours. Remove solid larger impurities with a basket,
and remove sediment on the bottom using the pool outlet. Immediately after filling with water, carry out the first treatment of water us-
ing appropriate chemicals. Consult a specialist pool chemical supplier for further information.
Filtration and Mechanical Cleaning of the Pool
Floating impurities can be removed from water by means of regular filtration. Carry out filtration only when the pool is not being used.
Excessive contamination of the pool by rough impurities (leaves, insects, sand, etc.), as well as algae, can be avoided by covering the pool
with a cover when it is not being used. The amount of impurities can also be reduced by treating the surroundings of the pool accordingly.
Remove these impurities either by using a handheld net if they are floating in or on the water, or by using the outlet if they are settled on
the bottom. If there is excessive contamination at the bottom of the pool, we recommend using the outlet facility to empty the pool and
then topping it up.
