CAUTION
COMMISSIONING AND OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING: Carry out a back wash and rinse before using the fi lter for the fi rst time
to clean the fi lter and remove any excess sand and impurities (see the paragraph
Filter and Valve operation). After the back wash, rinse before turning the valve to the
Filtration position. After the back wash, with the multi-port valve set to Filtration, the
black needle on the pressure gauge indicates the nominal pressure experienced by the
fi lter. This pressure will vary as a function of the pump fl ow rate, the static pressure and
load losses across the pipes. To keep a record of this nominal pressure (calibration),
adjust the dial of the pressure gauge so that the blue needle aligns with the black
needle.
IMPERATIVE:
Stop the pump before each manipulation of the 6-way valve. Failure to respect this
instruction will result in damage to the fi lter, the valve and pump and cancellation of
the guarantee.
Before starting the pump, make sure that all the 1/4 turn valves are open and that the
6-way valve is set to “Filtration”.
-FILTER AND VALVE OPERATION:
- FILTRATION: Water arrives from the pump, passes from the top to the bottom of the
fi lter and is returned to the pool.
- BACK WASH: Water passes through the fi lter from the bottom to the top gathering
trapped impurities and carrying them directly to waste. A back wash should be carried
out as soon as the needle in the pressure gauge enters the red.
- RINSE: Water passes through the fi lter from top to bottom before being directed to
waste (allow approx 30 sec for this process.).
- CIRCULATION : Water circulates without passing through the fi lter.
- DRAIN: Water passes from the pool to waste (fl occulation, etc.).
- CLOSED: No water circulation. Never allow the pump to run while the valve is in this
position. Similarly, make sure that the position of the various valves will allow circulation
of water before turning the pump on.
LENGTH OF THE FILTRATION CYCLE:
The length of the fi ltration cycle depends on the theoretical time taken for all the
water in the pool to pass through the fi lter. For private pools, the max time allowed for
all the water to be recycled is 8 hours.
We recommend the following as a function of water temperature:
- Below 14°C : 5 to 6 hours per day.
- From 15° to 23 °C : 6 to 8 hours per day.
- Above 23 °C : 10 to 12 hours per day.
The higher the bather load and the pool water temperature, the longer the fi ltration
cycle should be. To optimise fi ltration effi ciency, run the fi lter during the day (between
8:00 am and 9:00 pm) and, more generally, while the pool is in use (one bather pollutes
3 m³ of water ).
CLEANING THE PREFILTER AND FILTER BACK WASH:
After a certain time, a drop in the fl ow rate at the return fi ttings will be noted. This is
due to progressive clogging of the fi lter or pump prefi lter.
Wire in the pump (refer to the instructions enclosed with the pump and the control
panel).
