Maintenance And Care - T.I.P. SPF 180 Gebrauchsanweisung

Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and firmly standing.
To put the unit into operation, please plug the mains plugs into a 230V AC socket. If the water level has reached or
exceeded the cut-in level, the pump will start to run immediately.
To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.
The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. SPF series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature. In the case
of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For possible causes and their
elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section 8.
Please note for the first operation
To prevent unnecessary strain on piping system and valves always shut off pump before
switching filter control 4 position valve position.
All inlet and outlet valves must be open when starting the system. Otherwise this can cause
severe damage of the pump.
1． Press the top mount 4 position valve handle down and rotate to backwash position
2． Prime and start the pump according to these instructions.
3． Once water flow is steady out the waste line, run the pump for at least 2 minutes. The initial back-washing of the filer
is recommended to remove any impurities of fine sand particles in the sand media.
4． Turn pump off and set valve to rinse position. Start pump and operate until water in sight glass is clear - about ½ to 1
minute. Turn pump off, set valve to FILTER position and restart pump. Your filter is now operating in the normal filter mode,
filtering particles from the pool water
Note:
Regular maintenance of the pump and sand filter extends the life cycle of the pump and increases the efficiency.
Functions of the 4-position valve of the sand filter：
Filter – Set valve in position filter for normal filter operation.
Backwash: for cleaning the filter. When filter pressure gauge rises 0.5 bar above start-up, a cleaning of the filter must be
done:
Stop the pump, set valve to backwash. Start pump and backwash for approximately 2 minutes or less depending on dirt
accumulation. Proceed to rinse.
Rinse After backwashing, with pump off, set valve to rinse. Start pump and operate for about 1 minute. This ensures that
all dirty water from backwashing is rinsed out of the filter to waste, preventing possible return to the pool. Stop pump, set
valve to FILTER and start pump for normal filtering.
Winter position – All valves are opened. In this position the pressure on the sealings is releaved.
