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.
1. VERIFY THE CONTENTS OF THE PACKING:
The apparatus that you have just purchased has been designed for elevated swimming pools, with an innovative and highly functional design.
The following components detailed on page 30 are contained inside the box.
2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:
This Skimmer 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
1 HOUR
, taking care to correctly follow the instructions
detailed in this manual at all times.
The following tools are needed to correctly handle and install the components:
Function Tool
Alternative
tool
Tighten screws
Philips screwdriver
7 mm Stecker screwdriver
Cut out liner
Cutter
Blade
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before installing the Skimmer in the swimming pool, site the pool such that the stamp marking the Skimmer position faces the prevailing winds
(see Fig. 2) so that the winds help convey the dirt remaining on the pool surface toward the Skimmer mouth.
Follow the mounting instructions for the pool sheeting and liner carefully.
The Skimmer must be installed on the outside and high part of the pool wall.
The device is intended to collect the surface water, leaving large impurities in the prefilter basket and letting small ones pass through so they
are retained in the cartridge filter.
DO NOT PLACE CHEMICALS IN THE BASKET OR THROUGH THE FILTER.
THIS WILL DAMAGE THE MATERIALS OF THE DEVICE AND LIMIT ITS EFFICIENCY.
4. ASSEMBLY:
The Skimmer body houses the filtering element or cartridge filter. The bottom of the body also houses the motor and the turbine that circulate
the water, which is collected at the top through the Skimmer mouth and is returned through the lower valve once it is filtered.
4.1.
RUCKSACK SKIMMER INSTALLATION
4.1.1. PRE-ANCHORING THE RETURN NOZZLE OF THE BACKPACK SKIMMER (Fig.2)
The filtered water flows through this nozzle into the pool again and the filtering cycle is then finished.
Start filling the pool with water, stopping at around 4 cm. from the lower edge of the return valve opening.
Mark the opening with a felt-tip pen and cut a cross in the centre of the opening using a cutter (BLADE),
without going over the pre-cut hole.
Insert the friction ring and one of the joints ( Fig. 2) in the return nozzle. From inside the pool, insert the return nozzle with the friction ring and
the joint through the cut. The pieces of liner that stick out through the outer part of the pool
should be cut cleanly and neatly.
