4. ASSEMBLY:
LEVELLING AND SECURING THE SKIM-FILTER
For proper operation of the apparatus, it must be correctly levelled.
Turn the handle of the snap-off closure until it reaches the position "open" (Fig. 6). Let the Skim-filter slide down through the
flange until the float (No. 3) remains hanging in the water (about half way down).
Once it has reached that
position, fix the Skim-filter
by turning the handle of
the snap-off closure
towards the
"close"
position (Fig. 6)
FILTRATION
The Skim-filter is designed to suck in and hold the impurities floating in the pool water. After an initial filtration treatment
(until the pool water is clean), the full volume of the pool should be recirculated once daily.
The component which cleans the water is the filtering cartridge (n. 4 page 32) located inside the Skim-filter. This is formed
by a cloth with a very fine stitch which holds the dirtiness.
Depending on the dirtiness, hours of filtration and pool volume, the filtering cartridge may require cleaning with more or less
regularity. When you notice that the amount of water returned to inside of the pool decreases, then the filtering cartridge
should be cleaned.
Filtering requirements depend on the volume in m
flow, depending on the model 27586-30899 or the model 27587-30943.
Turn the motor off for at least 2 hours between operation intervals.
The aforementioned off time should be followed in the initial filtering treatment. It is recommended to increase the filtering
time as the water temperature of the pool increases.
NEVER PLACE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THE BASKET OR THROUGH THE SPONGES OR CARTRIDGE, AS THIS WILL
DAMAGE THE MATERIALS OF THE APPARATUS AND REDUCE ITS EFFECTIVENESS.
5. MAINTENANCE:
CLEANING THE FILTERING CARTRIDGE
Disconnect the power outlet apparatus and remove it from the swimming pool.
Pull the float (No. 3) hard and remove it from the tube and extract the cartridge from inside. Place the cartridge under low
pressure running water (not a jet) from a hose until the filter is clean (Fig. 5).
Before replacing the cartridge (n. 4 page 32) use the hose to clean out the inside of the Skim-filter (Fig. 7) and make sure
the cartridge is replaced correctly centred and pushed down until the cartridge is firmly in place (Fig. 8). Once everything has
been reassembled correctly replace the Skim-filter back into the pool.
After several washing cycles,
it may be necessary
change the filtering cartridge.
To do this, call the swimming
pool manufacturer on the
number indicated in
instructions.
USE:
• It is imperative to ensure that the intake ports are not blocked.
• It is recommended to stop filtering while performing maintenance of the filtration system.
• The filter should be monitored regularly to check it is not clogged.
• Prevent access to the pool in the case of damage to the filtration system(s).
