Can I use the Steinbach Filter Balls in any filter
system?
Yes. In principle, Steinbach Filter Balls can be used with all standard sand
filter systems.
Before using for the first time, check whether the Steinbach Filter Balls could
run out of the filter container and into larger sized pipes. This must not be
allowed to occur during backwashing, rinsing or filtering.
In this case, precautions have to be taken (grid, etc.).
Use
If you have used sand as a filter medium until now, remove all the sand and
clean the filter container without leaving any residue. Sand residues can
affect the effect of the Steinbach Filter Balls.
When re-filling, use the Steinbach Filter Balls instead of the sand in the
designated filter area.
Make sure that two chamber systems do not get any Steinbach Filter Balls
into the fresh water area. Otherwise, this could lead to blockages in the filter
system and in the pipelines.
How many of the Steinbach Filter Balls do I have
to use?
One sales package has a content of 700 g. This corresponds to a quantity of
25 kg filter sand.
When using Steinbach Filter Balls, do I need to
use any additional filter sand?
No.
How effective are Steinbach Filter Balls?
If you use standard filter systems with quartz sand, particles with a size
of>40µm are filtered out of the pool water. If you use Steinbach Filter Balls
instead of using quartz sand in your existing filter system, you will filter parti-
cleswith a size of >1,5µm out of your pool water.
When using Steinbach Filter Balls, can the system
be backflushed?
Steinbach Filter Balls have a very high dirt absorption capacity. The dirt parti-
cles adhere very strongly within the Steinbach Filter Balls and promote even
more effective and finer filtering. In standard filter systems, the performance
of the filter pump is not sufficient to wash out the dirt. Therefore, we advise
against backwashing the filter system when using Steinbach Filter Balls. We
recommend washing by hand.
Regularly check the degree of soiling and clean the Steinbach Filter Balls as
required.
Storage
The product must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. After which, it is to be
