IMPORTANT: The instruction manual you are holding includes essential information on the safety measures to be implemented
for installation and start-up. Therefore, the installer as well as the user must read the instructions before beginning installation
and start-up.
Keep this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum performance of the Skim-filter, follow the instructions provided below:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ CAREFULLY
•
The following standard should be followed in the whole electrical installation:
NF C15-100
that refers to “the construction of electrical installations both in indoor and outdoor swimming pools”, or similar regulations in force in
each area or country.
•
“The entire filtering system follows the installation standard C 15-100 that stipulates that all electrical apparatus located at less than
3.5 m. from the swimming pool and freely accessible should have a very low voltage of 12 V. All 220 V apparatus should be
positioned at least 3.5 m. from the edge of the swimming pool. Apply to the manufacturer for permission to modify one or more
elements of the filtering system”.
•
Electrical installations should only be performed by professional installers qualified in electrical installations.
•
The apparatus should not be on while the swimming pool is being used.
•
Do not operate the apparatus without water.
•
People should NEVER touch the apparatus when it is on if they are wet or with wet hands.
•
DISCONNECT the apparatus from the mains before handling.
•
Ensure that the ground is dry before touching the electrical equipment.
•
Never place the apparatus where it could become wet, as this could cause electrocution.
•
Do not allow children or adults to lean against or sit on the apparatus.
•
Never use the apparatus for more than 4 consecutive hours.
•
If the flexible power supply cable of the apparatus is damaged, it should be replaced. Read instructions how to replace it carefully.
If in doubt, consult your technical service.

2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:
This Skim-filter has been designed for use in fresh water pools. It is a Class I electric apparatus which complies with the IPX8 degree of
protection (resistance to penetration of dust, solid bodies and humidity).
CONNECTION OF APPARATUS
Connect the transformer to a 230V 50 Hz source of alternating current which is equipped with a single-pole switch, so that the apparatus does
not receive any voltage when it is not in use, and a 30 mA differential for discharge protection.
The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for assembly, installation or start-up of any electric components which have been
inserted or handled at locations other than its own premises.
3. INSTALLATION:
This equipment is easy to install and can be assembled by AN ADULT in around ½ HOUR, taking care to correctly follow the
instructions detailed in this manual at all times.
Place the Skim-filter facing the dominant winds, so that these help to carry the dirt which remains on the surface of the pool towards the filter.
The transformer should be located at least 3.5 m from the edge of the pool. (Fig. 2).
INSTALLATION OF SUPPORT FOR SHEET SWIMMING POOL
OR TUBULAR
Insert the support arm in the housing for the support clamp of the Skim-filter (Fig. 3).
Insert the feed cable in the housings on the inside of the support arm of the Skim-filter. Ensure that it is firmly secured.
Place the Skim-filter unit and the plastic support unit on the edge of the swimming pool (Fig. 4).
Place the two nuts in the housings of the support sealing clamp.
Insert the two screws from inside the swimming pool and tighten them firmly.
Balance the apparatus so that it is level on the vertical plane.
Attention:
the distance of the locking pin can be increased with the two distance spacers that are supplied in a bag (No 6) with two screws.
These screws are longer than those already bolted, in order to bolt the locking pin to the distance spacers.
INSTALLATION OF SUPPORT FOR SELF-SUPPORTING SWIMMING POOL
Insert the rod for self-supporting swimming pools in the housing of the support clamp for the Skim-filter (Fig.3)
Secure the rod with both rod securing units.
Place the Skim-filter unit and the support rod on the edge of the swimming pool.
Balance the apparatus so that it is level on the vertical plane.
4. ASSEMBLY:
LEVELLING AND SECURING THE SKIM-FILTER
For proper operation of the apparatus, it must be correctly levelled.
Turn the handle of the snap-off closure until it reaches the position “open” (Fig. 9). Let the Skim-filter slide down through the flange until the float
(No. 3) remains hanging in the water (about half way down) (Fig. 6).
Once it has reached that position, fix the Skim-filter by turning the handle of the snap-off closure towards the “close” position (Fig. 9)
