• Take the reference of the level of sand or zeolites to re-fill in case of losses.
• Close the filter and to turn strongly the lid.
• Mount the gauge and to assure the stopper.
• Verify that the equipment is correctly primmed.
When a filter is not primmed it means that an air cap has been created in it, and then water
flow is defective, with what it is possible to damage the engine.
The filter can be umprimmed by several reasons:
• Starting up of a new equipment.
• Starting up an equipment after a long period of lack of utilization.
• After using incorrectly an automatic cleaner.
• Air absorption from the skimmer due to a low level in the water of the swimming
pool.
• For an incorrect utilization of the equipment, lid of aspiration or stopper of skimmer.
A filter is unprimmed when:
• The sound of the water entering sounds like free fall. This means that an air bubble
has been created between the entry of the water and the sand or zeolites.
• There are too many bubbles in the return.
• The automatic cleaner does not work, having the sand or zeolites clean after a
wash.
• The gauge is in position 0bar.
Primming the filter:
• Verify that the aspiration is connected to the skimmer and the valve opened.
• Disconnect the filter.
• Put the valve in position FILTRATION, slackens lightly the stopper of the air purge
(close to the gauge) in order to allows the air inside the filter to go out. If the gauge
is not placed, put the valve in DRAINING position.
• When only water comes out (about 1-2 minutes), close again the purge.
• Connect the equipmente and verify that there has stopped sound of free fall of the
water. Otherwise repeat the operation.
• If the equipment is below the level of the water, it will be enough to open the valves
of going and return and open the air purge until the filter and the pump are full of
water.
• Put the valves in the following position:
o SKIMMER: OPEN
o AUTOMATIC CLEANER: OPEN
o SELECTOR VALVE: CLEANING
• Start up the pump and clean the filter. Clean it until clean and clear water is seen on
the selector valve window.
• Disconnect the pump. Put the selector valve in RINSE position and run the pump
during 15 seconds. Stop the pump again and to put the selector valve in
FILTRATION position.
• Close the automatic cleaner selector valve.
• Connect the pump.
