10.2. Filling the pool filter system (Fig. 5, 6 and 7)
IMPORTANT: Only use quartz sand (not included in the
scope of delivery) with a grain size of 0.45 - 0.55 mm.
Note the exact grain specification. If the grain size is
too small, it can cause sand to be flushed into the pool.
If the grain size is too large, it diminishes the quality
of the filter.
Alternatively, you can use filter balls for filling the filter
tank (5) (not included in the scope of delivery).
Note: Before the filter tank (5) is filled with a filter medi-
um, make sure that the filter pipe (17) and the filling aid
(18) are in the filter tank (5).
1. Place the filter pipe (17) in the centre of the filter
tank (5). The filling aid (18) is used to fix the filter
pipe (17) in position and lock it in place. It also pre-
vents the filter medium getting into the filter pipe
(17) while filling (see Fig. 6).
2. Fill the filter tank (5) with the filter medium and en-
sure that no filter medium gets into the filter pipe
(17).
3. The height of the content should not exceed 2/3
of the total height of the filter tank (5). This cor-
responds to approximately 20 kg quartz sand or
600 grams of filter balls. Note: Top up with water
occasionally so that the filter medium binds.
4. After the filter tank (5) has been filled, the filling aid
(18) can be removed again. Save them for future
refilling - such as when changing sand.
5. Make sure that the filter tank seal is clean. The
fringe of the filter tank or that of the 5-way mul-
ti-valve (1) against which the seal rests must also
be clean and free of any grains of sand. The filter
pipe (17), which sits in the container, must be in-
serted in the middle and fully into the 5-way mul-
ti-valve (1).
6. Now place the 5-way multi-valve (1) incl. O-ring (4)
onto the filter pipe (17) and attach it to the filter tank
(5) using the clamping ring (3). (See fig. 7)
10.3 Connect filter tank to filter pump
(fig. 8 + 9)
Now connect the filter pump (11) and the 5-way valve
(1) to the hose (14).
1. Fit the hose clamps (13) to the hose.
2. Connect the hose (14) to the filter inlet (15) on the
filter tank and to the pressure connection (12) on
the pump.
3. Tighten the screws on the hose clamps (13).

10.4 Connecting the pool filter system to the pool
1. Connect the suction connection (8) of the pump to
the pool using a hose (not included in the scope
of delivery).
2. The return outlet (16) must also be connected to
the inlet nozzle at the edge of the pool.
3. Connect the disposal connection (2) to the drain.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the pool filter system with too little or no wa-
ter can cause damage.
- Never allow the pool filter system to run dry.
10.5 Filling the filter pump with water (fig. 10)
1. Loosen the pre-filter cap (6).
2. Fill the filter pump (11) with a sufficient amount of
water.
3. Screw the pre-filter cap (6) back on.

11. Start up

m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the pool filter system with too little or no wa-
ter can cause damage.
- Never allow the pool filter system to run dry.
11.1. Function of the 5-way multi-valve (1) (fig. 11)
Important: Disconnect the pool filter system from
the mains first before actuating the valve lever!
11.1.1 Filtering
The water taken from the pool passes through the filter
medium from top to bottom and is thus cleaned.
1. Set the 5-way multi-valve (1) to FILTER. The filter
is now ready for mechanical water treatment of
your swimming pool.
2. In order to be able to determine the time point of
the BACKWASH filter cleaning, the pressure can
be read on the manometer (29). If the pressure in-
creases to 0.3 bar (max. 0.68 bar), backwashing
must be carried out. It is advisable to backwash at
weekly intervals, even if this value is not reached,
so that the filter sand remains loose.
3. Connect your pool filter system to the mains.
