6-way valve
FILTER – Downstream water flow from the swimming pool through a filtration
vessel and back to the pool
RINSE – Downstream water flow from the swimming pool through a filtration
vessel to the waste pipeline or to the drain tank
WASTE – Water flow without filtration led into the waste pipeline or into the drain
tank
RECIRCULATE - Water flow from the swimming pool and back without filtration
BACKWASH – Upstream water flow from the swimming pool through a filtration
vessel to the waste pipeline or to the drain tank
CLOSED – Closure of all the drainages; water is not circulating
OPEN– without any function; position is used for the filtration shutdown and for
a safe winterization
Filter vessel
• Insert stand pipe including filter screen into boiler (Figure 2)
• Place the stand pipe with the filter screen on the floor of the boiler, make sure
that the stand pipe is located in the middle of the boiler and that the drain plug is
screwed in.
• Now put the centralizer on the tank opening, while centering the standpipe.
(Illustration 4)
• Fill in the filter quarz sand up to a high of about ¾ of the bowlhight.(right grit
0,6mm - 1,2mm, Quantity: depending on filter size) (Illus-tration 4)
• Then mount the top oft he boiler or the valve head and the boiler seal on the tank
top of the filter vessel. Before you do this, it is neccassary to clean again and wash
off any sand or accumulated debris. The connection of the top of the boiler or the
head valve with the filter vessel is carried out by the clamping ring. The clamp-ing
ring is screwed with the clamping ring screw and the collet nut.(Illustration 5 & 6)
• Finally, mount the pump fittings on the valve head. Seal the pump fittings
sufficiently by using teflon tape. 7. The pressure gauge (if included) is screwed to
the side of the 6- way valve and sealed. The existing vent plug should be removed
first. Illustration 9

Pump hose connections (Illustration 7)
• Skimmers: Connection from skimmer to the front connector of the filter pump.
• Pressure line: Connection going from the upper area of the top of the filter pump
to the connector with the designation „PUMP" at the 7-way valve.
• Return line: Connection from the 6-way valve with the designation „RETURN" to
the connection at the inlet nozzle (pool). Secure all connections with hose clamps.
• Backwash: Connection „WASTE" (Empty) in the channel. Connections are made
with special pool hoses and hose clamps!
Commissioning of the filter system
• Before you go in operation with the filter system, it must be insured that the filter
system stands outside the basin and in the level lower than the water level of the
pool is, and the hose connections are properly connected and secured.
• The swimming pool must be filled with water, according to the instructions of your
pool dealer. The water must flow towards the filter pump. Now the filter pump is
vented. If available, open slightly the preliminary filter of the filter pump until water
flows from the prefilter top. (transparent cover with screw connection on the top of
the filter pump) For non self-priming pumps, it is neccassary that the water level is
above the filter pump.
• Place the handle on the 6- way valve to the Backwash position. Only now the filter
pump is taken in operation. Backwashing about 2 - 3 minutes to perform. Then
turn the filter pump off again and put the handle on the valve head in the RINSE
position. Rinsing for 30 seconds. Thereafter, the filter pump is switched off again
and the handle set to the position FILTER. The backwashing and rinse water you
best pipe in the channel.
• Turn the filter pump back on. The filter system is in normal filter operation. We
recommend a filter run time of 2 x 4 - 5 hours per day. If you clean the bottom of
your pool with a pool vacuum cleaner, this is also done in the position filter. After
each floorcleaning or when the pressure on the pressure gauge if available (by 2 - 3
ticks) rises, backwashing is required.
• After BACKWASH always a RINSE with a duration of approximately 30 seconds is
required. This causes the reduction of the sand in the filter vessel.
• If you clean your pool with a pool vacuum cleaner, this can also be done with the
6-way valve in the position WASTE to remove impurities from the pool (eg: algae),
which otherwise go back through the filter sand. In doing so, the water which is
extracted from the ground, will be directly pumped through the backwash line
into the open air. After this process, the water level of the pool is supplemented
accordingly.
Filtration systems may not run dry (without water)! The
water takes the cooling – in case of dry running there is
no warranty replacement!
