MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTERING SYSTEM
CLEANING THE FILTER
Perform this procedure each time you need to clean the filter. When the pressure increases 0.2 bar regarding the starting pressure you need to clean as follows.
Make sure that you have correctly installed the emptying tube (not included) in the collector of the multi-directional flap, so that it allows water evacuation when the sand or
filer is cleaned.
1. Stop the filtering.
2. Put the multi-directional flap to the WASH position.
3. Start the filter and let it work for at least 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Stop the filtering again, put the multi-directional flap into RINSE position and re-start the filter for 10 seconds.
5. Stop the filer and put the multi-directional flap into FILTERING position.
6. Re-start the filter and check that the pressure is correct.
CLEANING THE POOL
With a manual pool cleaner
1. Connect the pool cleaner tube
2. Introduce the pool cleaner into the water
3. Fill the tube with water placing it before the refilling fitting with key.
4. Place the other end in the pool cleaner outlet.
5. You should slowly move the pool cleaner (to avoid moving the dust) and without taking it out of the water, to avoid deactivating the pump.
6. When you have finished the cleaning, clean the filter before putting it into its normal position.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- You should check that the suction holes are not blocked.
- You should stop the filtering during the maintenance operations of the filtering system.
- Periodically check the greasing level of the filter.
Maintenance and wintering of the filter requires water evacuation. The evacuation should be foreseen when installing the filter group.
WATER TREATMENT
Whichever is your filtering system, you will need to chemically treat the pool water to destroy the bacteria and the micro-bodies and to avoid development
of algae.
Several sterilization products can be used, like chloride, bromine, oxygen, etc. Request the assessment of a pool treatment product sales person to take a decision.
First, you have to verify the pH level using an analysis kit. Pay attention that the test bottles are only valid for one year.
The ideal level is between 7.2 and 7.4 of pH and 1.5 regarding CHLORIDE. Rectify this level using pH correctors (increasers or reducers). The quantity of product is proportional
to the cubic meters of your pools. To treat your pool, check the indications appearing on the product you have chosen for your pool.
pH
(potential hydrogen) You should always maintain the water pH between 7.2 and 7.4 because below these values the water becomes corrosive (due to acidity)
and rapidly deteriorates the metal parts of your pool. Above these values the water is basic and greatly reduces the action of treatment.
Never introduce chlorine tablets directly into the pool. The liner would be «burnt». The tablets are placed into the skimmer basket.
During the first use, you should wash the filter (check the filer system maintenance). Filtering is a mechanical treatment that allows cleaning the pool water by means of
eliminating the impurities and contaminating particles. The hydraulic circuit and water purifying group is an essential element for the optimal operation of the filtering system.
The filtering system should be coherent: The filter dimensions should be proportionate to the volume of water in the pool and to the pump performance. The filtering is not anti-
bacteria Therefore, you should add a product (or a system) for disinfection of the water.
FILTERING TIME:
During the period of use of the pool kit, the filtering system should be used every day, for sufficient time to guarantee a complete renovation of the entire volume of water.
Theoretically, this the calculation:
(Water Temp / 2) = equals the filtering hours
Often, it is more practical to filter 4 hours before and 4 hours after use.

24 hours
We do not recommend intermittent operation (stopping and starting every hour)
because not all the water volume will be renovated.
OPERATION PRINCIPLE:
The skimmer sucks the water from your pool (this element and especially the
basket that collects leaves and other large impurities, should be very clean).
The water is then sent through the tubes to reach a pump with pre-filter * (there
another basket filters medium impurities, therefore its cleanliness is essential for good
operation).
The pump sends the water towards a filter that retains all the suspended impurities thanks to its filtering material. This is a sand filter. The filtered water returns to the pool.
This unit can be manipulated, programmed and protected using an electrical unit (optional).
The water from your pool should be subject to physical and chemical treatment to keep its transparency and to guarantee a completely safe bath.
We do not recommend filling to the pool with well water, to avoid all types of chemical reaction and water colouring risks.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT:
1. The water level is correct: that is to say, slightly above half of the skimmer.
2. The skimmer and pump pre-filer baskets are clean.
3. The hydraulic circuit is controlled and the flap positions verified.
4. The filter can be started and the pressure controlled with a pressure gauge (according to the type and the position of the technical location regarding the
pool).
HAVING ACCESS TO THE POOL IS PROHIBITED IN THE CASE THAT THE FILTER SYSTEM IS DETERIORATED
