WARNING! Hazardous for children and persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental abilities (such as the handicapped, elderly individuals with impaired
physical and mental abilities), or those with a lack of experience and knowledge.
Children must never play with the product. Cleaning may not be performed
by children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities.
NOTE! Risk of damage! This product may be damaged through improper use.
Danger of electrocution! Faulty electrical installation or too high mains voltage
can lead to electrocution. Only connect the product if the mains voltage on the
socket corresponds to the technical specifi cations. Only connect this product
using an easily accessible socket to ensure it can be rapidly disconnected
from the mains in the event of a fault. Do not operate the product if it exhibits
visible damage or the mains cable/plug is defective. As additional protection,
it is recommended to install a residual current device (FI/RCD) with a tripping
current of no more than 30 mA. Consult with an electrician for advice.
Only open the product as described in this manual. Leave repairs to experts
in order to prevent hazards. Consult a specialist workshop. Liability is
waived and warranty claims expire if repairs or changes to the product
are carried out independently of if the product is improperly connected
or operated incorrectly. This product features electrical and mechanical
parts which are indispensable for protecting against potential hazards.
Never touch the plug with wet hands. Never pull out the plug from the
socket using the cable - always pull on the plug. Keep the product, plug
and all cables away from open fi res and hot surfaces. Lay the cable so that
it does not pose a tripping risk and do not place it under the ground. Lay
cables in such a way that they will not be damaged by lawn mowers and other
similar devices. Do not bend the cable and do not lay it over sharp edges.
Do not use an extension cable, multiple socket adapters or other adapters.
Filtration systems must not be operated dry (i.e. without any water)! If dry run
there is no guarantee replacement! Never place the pump or fi lter into the pool.
The fi lter pump must be switched off before every switching operation using
the 7-way valve! The fi ltration system must not be used if there are people
in the water! Install the fi ltration system at a suitably safe distance from the
pool to prevent children from using the system as a means of entering the
pool. Do not immerse the fi lter system, power cable or plug in water or in any
other liquids. The fi lter system's pump is designed to ensure good protection
against foreign bodies and water spray. However, it should still be installed
in such a way to ensure adequate protection from the weather. Never carry
out any work on the fi ltration system while it is still connected to the mains.
Hazards posed by the suction of the pump can lead to serious injury and death
if adequate precautions are not taken. Do not block the suction openings on
the pump or in the pool since this may lead to serious injury or even death.

Operation
The quartz sand used in the fi lter system's tank provides long-lasting fi ltration of dirt
particles and fl oating debris. As the water fl ows through the quartz sand in the fi lter
tank, dirt particles are deposited in the sand and thus fi ltered out of the pool water.
The purifi ed water fl ows through the 7-way valve back into the pool via the return pipe.
To operate the fi lter system you need a skimmer (surface skimmer). Either a built-in
skimmer (installation in the pool wall) or a suspended skimmer (attachment to the pool wall).
Filter sand requirements
■
Only use quartz sand, which complies with DIN EN 12904, for this fi lter system.
Location determination
The installation location of the fi lter system between the skimmer and inlet nozzle
should ensure a suffi cient safety distance to the pool wall. We recommend placing
the fi lter system on a level base (for example, washed concrete slabs or similar).
The correct alignment must be checked with a spirit level. Under no circumstances
may you place your fi lter system in a sunken area or directly in the green area. (Risk
of fl ooding and / or risk of hot running of the fi lter pump). If you have partially or
completely sunk your pool system, it is advisable to place the fi lter system in a fi lter
shaft, which connects directly to the pool area. If your fi lter system is housed in a
fi lter shaft, it must be ensured that the shaft does not get fl ooded. For this purpose,
we recommend adding drainage (gravel) to the fi lter shaft so that surrounding and
rainwater can seep away. It would be ideal to connect the pump sump of the fi lter
shaft directly to a channel or drain (for example submersible pump with fl oat switch).
It is imperative to ensure suffi cient natural ventilation in the fi lter shaft. Otherwise,
the formation of condensation could damage the fi lter pump. The size of the fi l-
ter shaft should be selected so that work on the fi lter system can be carried out.
Installation
Installation of the fi lter system (Illustration 1) Install the fi lter system at the
fi nal installation location. The fi lter system consists of the following parts:
■ Pump
■ Valve
■ Seal (O-ring)
■ Clamping ring
■ Tank
■ Central pipe
■ Filter screen (250N) or fi lter fi ngers (310/ 400)
■ Drainage screw
■ Centring device (cover for standpipe)
■ Base plate
■ Pressure tube
Filter tank
1.
Insert the standpipe (7) with the fi lter screen (19) or fi lter fi ngers (9 + 10) into
the tank (12) (Illustration 2) until the standpipe with the fi lter screen reaches
the bottom of the tank (12) (12).
2.
Make sure that the standpipe (7) is in the middle. The drainage screw (11) of
the tank should be inserted.
3.
Now place the centring device on the tank opening, thereby centring the
standpipe (7). (Illustration 4)
4.
Fill the fi lter quartz sand up to a level of approx ¾ of the tank. (Illustration 3)
5.
Before mounting the valve head (1), it is imperative to clean the seal surfaces
(3 + 4) and screws/ threads again from residue or dirt. The connection of the
valve head with the fi lter tank is connected by means of the clamping ring
(6). The clamping ring is screwed together with the clamping ring screw and
clamping ring screw nut. (Illustration 5 and 6 + 7)

Finally, mount the connecting pieces on the valve head (1). Seal the connect-
