of time, disconnect the current collector on its
base. Take special care to close the shut-off
valve through which water is supplied to the
filtration unit and to empty the water
contained in the filter and pump.
2. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The filtration unit is an essential device for
maintaining the quality of the water in a swimming
pool over a long period of time, both for the
convenience of bathers and to save water
consumption, since the water does not need to be
replaced.
The function of the unit is the mechanical
separation of the solid particles in the swimming
pool water: these are retained in the filtering
medium.
The filtering element consists of small grains of
silicon sand, which are capable of retaining the dirt
dissolved in the water.
As the water is filtered, the dirt adheres more and
more to the grains of sand, reducing the passage of
water and consequently the volume of water in the
swimming pool.
In order that the water is correctly regenerated, it is
recommended that the entire contents of the
swimming pool are filtered at least 4 times a day.
