Installing the filter
Attention:
First, read all installation instructions before attempting to install the filter!
1.
Carefully remove all individual parts from the packaging and check them for possible outer dam-
age. If the packaging or components are damaged, contact the seller.
WARNINGS:
•
If suction fittings are blocked, serious, even mortal injuries can be provoked due to drowning.
To reduce risk of injury, not to be used by children!
•
Never work on the pump while the device is operating or connected to the power supply. High
voltage provokes serious, even mortal injuries. The energy source of the device must be
equipped with an earth fault circuit interrupter. The motor needs to be earthed before the device
can be connected to the energy supply.
Missing earthing can provoke electric shocks!
Never earth the device to a gas supply pipe line!
2.
– for 63342, 63343: The filter system should always be installed so that it is standing beneath
the water level and on a concrete slab, a very firm ground, etc.
– for 63344–63347: The filter system should be installed to a maximum of 50
cm above the pool
water level and stand on a concrete slab, a very firm ground, etc.
Consult the pool seller. A device filled with sand and water will be very heavy. Install the device
so that the pipe and hose connections, the control valve, and the wintering drain is easily ac-
cessible.
3.
Connect the lower drain to the bottom of the sand tank. Make sure that the O-rings are attached
properly to prevent any water from leaking. See following figure.
4.
– for 63342, 63343: Assemble the sand tank to the system base.
– for 63344–63347: Place the sand tank to the system base and slightly turn it clockwise. Place
the sand tank so that the wintering drain is in the opposite direction of the pump.
5.
– for 63342, 63343: Using a screw set, fix the pump to the system base.
– for 63344–63347: Assemble the sand tank to the system base.
6.
Place the standpipe and underdrain assembly in the centre of the sand tank. Cover the stand-
pipe using the sand shield to prevent any sand from entering. Fill the tank about to the half with
water, being sure first that the winter drain cap is securely in place. Then, pour in the correct
amount and grade of filtering sand. When doing so, make sure that the standpipe remains cen-
tred in the opening.
Important!
You must only use type-20 quartz sand having a uniformity coefficient of 1.75
or less. Type-20 quartz sand has a particle size of 0.45–0.55
mm (0.018–0.022″).
7.
Remove the sand shield from the standpipe. Remove the sand from the opening on the top of
the tank. Thoroughly make sure that the top of the filter is free from sand and debris and that
the O-ring is properly attached to the valve body. Insert the control valve into the tank neck,
making sure that the standpipe slips into the hole in the bottom of the control valve.
