2.4.4 Functioning
NEVER ALTER THE POSITION OF THE
VALVE WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING
FIRST REMOVE THE PLUG
NEVER DISMANTLE THE VALVE WHILE
THE FILTER IS STILL UNDER PRESSURE .
The 6-way valve controls the 6 functions
of the filter: backwash, re-circulation,
rinse, filtration, waste, closed .
To change the position of the valve, you
need to unplug the power supply, press
the upper lever of the valve down force-
fully (to conquer the resistance of the
internal spring), then turn the lever
towards the chosen function and care-
fully release it .
The function of the filter is based on
the retaining properties of the sand in
the filter . The water in the pool is forced
through the filter pump and the sand,
causing the impurities in the water to
remain in the sand – which functions as
a filter element .
REMOVING AIR FROM THE FILTER
When the air is not properly removed
from the filter, bad water circulation will
follow, consequently the filter’s purifica-
tion effect via the sand will be diminished
and the motor could be damaged .
The filter needs to be de-aired at the first
use of a new appliance or with the reuse
of an appliance that hasn’t been functio-
ning for a while, after using a bottom
cleaner, with absorption of air through
the skimmer due to a low water level in
the pool, due to the incorrect use of the
appliance (suction cap or skimmer cap) .
If you notice that too many air bubbles
are released by the water return device,
the filter needs to be de-aired as well .
De-airing takes place by switching the
power supply off and placing the valve
into the backwash position . Let the water
flow out through the waste until there
are no more air bubbles visible in the
peak hole on the side .
Shut off the filter again and shift the
valve into the preferred position .
Function 1: FIlter
Place the valve in the filter position .
The water comes out of the pump and is
filtered by streaming downwards through
the sand and then returning the pool .
Do not filter for more than 4 hours at
a time . Leave the engine to cool for at
least two hours . The number of filtering
hours is calculated by the total volume of
pool water of the (volume of water m³)
divided by the pump capacity (m³/u) .

Function 2: BaCKWash
Place the valve in the backwash position .
By backwashing, the sand in the filter is
cleaned; for this, the direction of the
water circulation needs to be reversed .
The backwash needs to be done weekly
(when the manometer indicates 0,5 to
0,8 bar higher than the nominal pressure
– pressure between 1,1 and 1,7 bar)
Attach a tube to the waste of the valve
and place the other end of the hose in
the sewer . Leave the filter running for
about 2 min . until the water runs clear;
you can verify this through the peak hole
at the side of the valve . Switch the filter
off and leave it standing for 2 min for the
sand to settle down in the filter . Put the
valve into the recycle position to prevent
impurities remaining in the valve, from
streaming back into the pool .
Then move the valve back into the
preferred position (filtering or close) and
remove the hose from the waste .
_____
Function 3: Waste
The pool can be emptied almost com-
pletely via the filter . Move the valve into
the waste position, attach a hose to the
waste and place the other end of the
hose in the sewer .
Connect the vacuum cleaner tube to the
skimmer (remove the inner basket from
the skimmer) and let the water run out .
The pool won’t be emptied completely;
switch the pump off once only a couple
of inches of water remain in the pool .
Remove the rest of the water manually .
_____
Function 4: Closed
The valve is placed in the closed position
to prevent the water from circulating via
the hoses and the filter . Make sure that
the pump never functions in this position .
