3. FILTER UNIT OPERATION

The pool water reaches the pump through three independent pipes
running from the pool's embedded accessories, which have several
different functions (see page 2) such as:
- Main drain: for filtering the mass of water and emptying the pool.
- Skimmers: for cleaning floating debris from the surface of the water,
preventing dirt from sinking into the water. A basket inside the skimmer
prevents leaves from reaching the pump's pre-filter.
- Intake nozzle or pool cleaner connection point: point used to connect a
pool cleaner (whether manual or automatic) to clean debris from the floor
of the pool. Sometimes an installation may not have this nozzle, in which
case the pool cleaner will be connected to the skimmer instead.
Water is pumped to the central valve, which channels it to the top
distributor which, in turn, distributes it along the entire surface of the
sand, ensuring an even distribution. The water then passes through the
layer of filtering sand and is collected in the bottom collector manifold.
From there it is returned to the selector valve, which channels it to the pool
through the return/outlet nozzles.

During filtration, the pressure gauge showing the
sand's resistance to the flow of water (which can
vary according to the level of clogging) should
indicate between 0.5 and 0.7.
Whenever the pressure gauge reading
exceeds 1.0, stop the motor and clean
the filter.

4. FILLING THE POOL

To fill the pool you can either fill it directly with a hose or place a valve
connected to the mains water pipe in the return manifold.

Therefore, if the pool operates in a centralised manner with just one
corrector, you will need to PLACE THE SELECTOR VALVE IN THE
CLOSED POSITION. The water from the mains will therefore go directly
into the pool without passing through the filter.

5. INITIAL START-UP

When performing the initial start-up, check the following:
1) Check the rotation of the motor and whether it is stiff by manually
rotating the motor's fan blades from behind.
2) Check the reset on the motor's protective thermal relay on the electrical
panel.
3) Open the valves that control the intake and outlet pipes (fill the body of
the pump with water to the level of the intake pipe). Place the selector
valve in the circulate position.

6. WASHING THE FILTER

To wash the filter you will need to reverse the direction of the water
circulation by positioning the selector valve in the wash position.
The water will then enter the filter's bottom collector manifold releasing the
dirt held by the sand, which will be collected by the top distributor and
returned to the selector valve, and from there to the main drain.
You will be able to see the water flowing through the sight glass on the
selector valve. When the water runs clear (after two or three minutes), stop
the motor and change the selector valve to the rinse position.
