5. USER´S MANUAL
ALWAYS STOP THE PUMP BEFORE CHA GI G THE POSITIO
SELECTOR VALVE
5.1.- FILTRATION
With the pump stopped, put the selector valve handle on FILTER.
Start up the pump.
Periodically check the manometer during operation, which will indicate the
degree of saturation of the filter.
5.2.- CLEANING
The solid particles in the pool that are collected by the input drain and the
skimmers remain in the sand in the filter, which constantly decreases the water
flow. Due to this, the pressure increases progressively. When the pressure
2
reaches 1.3 kg/cm
, a CLEANING will be done (this is an approximation; it
depends on the distance between the unit and the pool, its location, etc.).
Proceed as follows:
Put the selector valve on the CLEAN position and start the pump. Run this for 2
minutes. Always check the window of the selector valve to ensure that this is the
correct time, since it depends on the amount of filth accumulated in the filter.
ATTENTION
5.3.- RINSING
After CLEANING the filter and before returning the equipment to filtration, it is
advisable to run a RINSE to prevent the first quantity of water that is still cloudy
from going directly into the pool. To do this, with the pump stopped, put the
selector valve on RINSE. Start up the pump and run it for about a minute.
Always check the window of the selector valve to ensure that this is the correct
time, since it depends on the amount of filth accumulated in the filter.
OF THE
5.4.- CIRCULATION
When you put the selector valve in this position, the water from the pump will
circulate directly to the pool without passing through the filter.
5.5.- DRAINING
If the pool does not have a drain in the bottom, it can be emptied using the filter
pump by putting the valve on DRAIN. To do this, open the valves of the input
drain and close those of the skimmers and pool cleaner.
5.6.- LOCKED
This position blocks water entry into the filter
