7 STARTING UP THE FILTER/PUMP
1.
Before starting up the monoblock, make sure that it
is situated outside the pool and at a lower level than the
water level in the pool. The flexible connections must be
well connected and fixed.
2.
The pool must be full of water up to the mid height of the
skimmer. The water must circulate to the pump
3.
Naw purge the air trom the monoblock. lf some exists, open
slightly the top of the pre-filter of the pump until the water
enters the pre-filter.
4.
Place the valve selector in position COUNTERWASH.
Only this way can the pump be started. Begin a cycle of
COUNTERWASH of 2 to 3 minutes. Then, switch off the
pump and put it in CLEAR position. The CLEAR cycle
lasts +/- 30 seconds. Switch off the pump again and putt he
selector valve in FILTRATION position. Evacuate the water
trom COUNTERWASH & CLEAR to the hosepipe or onto the
lawn. We recommend doing 2 filtration cycles of 4 to 5
hours a day.
In FILTRATION position the pool floor is also vacuumed. After the
vacuuming of the pool floor or when the pressure increases (2 or
3 levels) on the gauge, it is necessary to do a CLEAR cycle.
6.
After a COUNTERWASH, it is imperative to do a CLEAR cycle
for about 30 seconds. This permits the sand to be deposited
in the filter.
7.
The EMPTY mode (only possible with the 6-way valve)
also permits vacuuming the pool floor and so removes the
impurities (e.g. algae). lf not they would be returned to the
filter sand. During this cycle, the water trom the bottom of
the pool is vacuumed to the exterior. Afterwards, water
must be added to restore the water level in the pool.
Warning! The monoblock must not be used without water.
The water ensures the cooling. - The substitution guarantee does
not apply in the case of use without water.
Important note!
Before changing the position of the selecter valve, STOP the
filtration pump.
8 CLEANING THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL
The vacuuming of the pool floor is carried out in FILTRATION
position of the valve. The floor cleaner must be connected with
the hosepipe to the skim vac of the skimmer. The pump must be
switched off.
Important: The hosepipe of the floor cleaner must be
completely full of water so the pump does not suck air,
when this is done the pump can be started. lf air enters the
monoblock, stop the pump and purge the floor cleaner.
Start the pump again slowly (a start-up toa quickly will raise the
impurities) and brush the pool floor with the floor cleaner brush.
For monoblock without pre-filter, it is better to use a skimmer
with a basket and gauze.
9 STORING IN WINTER
At the end of the summer season, disconnect the tubes; remove
water from the filter by opening the tap.
For the filter and the pump, you have to undo the purge screw.
Open the filter and check the sand, Check the state of the sand
in the monoblock. lt must not be sticky or stuck together) and
clean it. The monoblock placed in the open air must be protec-
ted against freezing during the winter.
Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the
guarantee.
10 MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS
The visible impurities are eliminated by the monoblock. What
the monoblock does not eliminate are the algae, bacteria and
other microorganisms that cloud the water, affect the water
purity and hygiene. To prevent their appearance and eliminate
them, specific products exist for the water maintenance, with a
correct dose do not cause any problems to the bathers guaran-
teeing a pool perfectly disinfected.
The filtration cycles (2 x 415 hours a day) and the regular
counter washing of the filter (2 to 3 minutes) at least once
a day as wel/ as the use of the pool floor cleaner, are the
necessary conditions tor the good maintenance of your
pool. Ask your usual salesperson for advice.
