Description Of The Filter System; Modes Of The Filter System - Steinbach Comfort 50 Manual Original

You can do so by installing a gravel layer at the bottom of the shaft. An optional immersion pump
with a float switch that is connected to a canal or drain additionally protects your filter system from
rising water inside the shaft.
- Ensure sufficient natural ventilation of the shaft to prevent condensation.
- Design the size of the filter shaft so that you can carry out work on the filter system.

Description of the filter system

Modes of the filter system

Your filter system has several modes. They are indicated by numbers on the valve head.
1. Filter
2. Rinse
3. Circulate
4. Backflush
5. Closed
6. Drain
7. Winter
The individual modes are described below.
FILTER
Use this mode as the basic setting of your filter system.
The sucked-in pool water flows into the filter vessel through the top and flows through the filter medium.
Dirt is filtered out in the process and the water is returned to the pool afterwards.
RINSE
Let the pump run for 20 to 30 seconds in this mode right after backwashing, refilling the quartz filter
sand or after initial start-up.
The water is guided into the top part of the filter vessel and the valve head is rinsed. The water drains
via the dirt line. The valve head is cleaned this way.
RECIRCULATE
Run this mode after treating the water with chemicals.
The water is guided directly from the valve head to the pool without flowing through the filter. The filter
medium does not come into contact with the applied chemicals this way.
BACKWASH
Do not backwash when using Steinbach Filter Balls. If the filter throughput decreases, we
recommend washing the filter balls by hand. If necessary, exchange the filter balls.
Let the pump run in this mode for at most 2 minutes if starting it up for the first time or if new quartz filter
sand was filled in, or if the manometer shows 0.3 to 0.6 bar above the normal operating pressure to
clean the filter and the quartz filter sand.
The water is guided into the bottom part of the filter vessel and flows through the entire filter. Collected
dirt is detached and flushed out via the backwash line.
CLOSED
- Never switch on the pump in this mode!
Use this mode to clean the prefilter (if available) or checking the system for leaks and sealing the
affected spots.
The water flow in the pump and in the filter is blocked. Make sure that feed and drain hoses are filled
with water and might have to be closed off with shut-off valves or plugs.
