7.3 I Washing the pool filter (backwashing)
Backwash mode is used to quickly start/stop the filter pump (single-speed pump or variable-speed pump) in order to
backwash the filter.
• Press
and browse the menu using the
buttons. Press
to confirm.
• Select
to activate filtration or
to stop filtration.
For safety reasons, chlorination stops when in Backwash mode. To prevent the pool from emptying, Backwash mode
automatically stops after 5 minutes. The default speed setting for the variable-speed pump is 3,450 rpm (maximum
speed). This value can be changed from the priming menu.
7.4 I Winterising
The appliance is fitted with a protection system limiting chlorine production in poor
operating conditions such as cold water (winter) or low minerals.
• Active winterising
= filtering operational in winter: below 10°C it is preferable to switch off the appliance.
Above this temperature you can leave it running.
• Passive winterising
= lower water level and drained piping: switch off the appliance and leave the cell dry
in place with any isolation valves open.
• Winterising the sensors =
Keep the plastic sensor tube (which contains a storage solution) for re-use when
winterising. The sensors must always be stored wet (never dry). They must be stored in the tube filled with
a storage solution of 3 mol/L KCl or at least in tap water.
7.5 I Preparing the pool for re-use
Required actions:
•
Adjust the water level (too much or too little).
•
Check the water parameters: TA/TH/pH/Salinity/Chlorine/Stabiliser/Copper/Metals, and adjust the
parameters to obtain a balanced, healthy pool, see
“4.2 I Balancing the water”.
•
Check the condition of the equipment (pump, filter, chlorinator, electrolytic cell).
•
Inspect the sensors, then clean and recalibrate.
•
As soon as the minerals level reaches the required level and the minerals have completely dissolved in the
water, restart the appliance.
