1.1. Basic advice on safety and prevention of damage
It is essential that both the fitter and the user
should read the manual and equipment ins-
tructions before fitting and start-up, in order to
ensure their own safety, the safety of other
persons and the optimum operation of the
equipment.
The user must keep the manual and the safety
labels in good condition for subsequent use.
DANGER, risk of electrocution
Take maximum precautions when handling
the equipment, since it is connected to the
mains and it contains water (an excellent con-
ductor of electricity).
Before performing any operation on the pump,
it is essential to disconnect the power supply.
DANGER power cable
Position the power cable so that it cannot be
trodden on, perforated or damaged with any
object situated near it.
Carry out the installation in accordance with
the safety instructions for swimming pools and
the particular instructions for the pump and
selector valve (supplied with the respective
manuals).
The safety regulations in effect must be obser-
ved when installing the equipment.
Maximum pressure of the equipment 2 bar.
Do not connect directly to the drinking water
mains.
PROHIBITED handling or repair
The equipment may only be handled or repai-
red by official technical services.
The user may only handle the equipment as
indicated in this manual.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for
any other handling of the equipment by the user.
If this instruction is not heeded,
there is a risk of electrocu-
If this instruction is not heeded,
there is a risk of injury to persons.
If this instruction is not heeded,
there is a risk of damaging the
equipment or the installation.
ATTENTION cleaning
Always clean with a damp cloth and a neutral
soap solution.
Do not use products that contain solvents or
acids.
ATTENTION heat
Position the unit away from heat sources or
exposure to the sun.
The equipment has been designed for opera-
tion in technical premises.
ATTENTION
Only use the equipment for the filtration of water
in domestic swimming pools or small ponds.
The equipment has been designed for opera-
tion with clean water and the temperature
must be below 35
ATTENTION ventilation
Install the unit in such a way that its position
does not prevent the flow of air in and out of
the ventilator part of the pump. It must not be
installed inside furniture or cupboards which
prevent the free flow of air around the unit.
Do not start the pump connected to the pool bot-
tom cleaner, if the latter is not immersed in water.
Do not run the pump dry. The water level of
the swimming pool must not be lower than
that of the skimmer.
ATTENTION periods when not in use
When the unit is not to be used over a period
of time, disconnect the current collector on its
base. Take special care to close the shut-off
valve through which water is supplied to the
filtration unit and to empty the water contained
in the filter and pump.
2. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The filtration unit is an essential device for maintai-
ning the quality of the water in a swimming pool over
a long period of time, both for the convenience of
bathers and to save water consumption, since the
water does not need to be replaced.
The function of the unit is the mechanical separation
of the solid particles in the swimming pool water:
these are retained in the filtering medium.
The filtering element consists of small grains of sili-
con sand, which are capable of retaining the dirt dis-
solved in the water.
As the water is filtered, the dirt adheres more and
more to the grains of sand, reducing the passage of
water and consequently the volume of water in the
swimming pool.
In order that the water is correctly regenerated, it is
recommended that the entire contents of the swim-
ming pool are filtered at least 4 times a day.
