GENERAL
Check filtration kit for any evidence of damage due to
rough handling in shipment. If filtration kit is damaged
notify the carrier immediately.
The filtration kit may only be used for the filtering of
swimming pool water, garden pond water or similar
applications.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please note: there can be specific needs to use filtration
kits nearby swimming pools, garden ponds or such places.
The pump should be placed on a flat, solid foundation,
high enough to prevent flooding of the motor.
Install the filter and pump in a sheltered location, ensuring
ventilation and adequate access for servicing.
Place the filter in its permanent location. Make sure you
can reach the valve easily. Then fix the piping.
Use only plastic piping. Size all piping adequately and
keep the number of elbows to a minimum.
Use a direct and short suction line with continuous slope
in order to avoid long priming times.
It is essential that the suction line is free of air leaks.
The suction line should always have at least the same size
as the suction inlet of the pump.

OPERATION
Look inside and check lower distribution system (8) on
broken ore loose laterals (7). Fill tank for 1/3 with water.
Before filling the filter, sand guide (13) should be on the
pipe (6). Fill the filter with the specified quantity of
gravel, afterwards with sand. Remove the sand guide.
Put some vaseline on the O-ring (9 and 11) of the valve.
Assemble the valve (10) to the filter and tighten with the
clamp ring (12). Connect the piping. Turn the valve into
position "Rinse" and start the pump for at least 1 minute.
Before starting the pump, the strainer basket should be
filled with water up to the level of the suction line.
Lubricate the lid O-ring with silicone each time the lid is
removed. Energize the motor, the pump will prime. The
priming time depends on the suction lift and distance to
the pool. Five minutes is a reasonable time. Pump will
not lift more than 4 meter.
If pump does not prime, see troubleshooting guide.
CAUTION:
NEVER SHIFT VALVE HANDLE POSITION WHILE
PUMP IS RUNNING. NEVER DISASSEMBLE VALVE
WHILE FILTER IS UNDER PRESSURE.
FILTRATION
1. Shift valve handle to position "Filtration"
2. Start the pump
3. Note here the pressure of the pressure gauge (14).
TO CLEAN ( backwash ) THE FILTER
When the pressure rises approximately 0.5 bar above the
recorded pressure it is time to backwash.
1. Shut off the pump
2. Shift the valve handle to "Backwash"
3. Start pump and let it run until water is clean (about 3
minutes).
4. Shut off the pump
