5. MAINTENANCE

5.1. WASHING THE FILTER

Every so often, when "lowflow" errors are indicated or when the pressure indicated by the filter
pressure gauge exceeds 1 bar, the filter should be washed, by following these steps:
1. Outside the filtering cycle, with the filtering pump off, place the selector valve in the WASHING
position. If there is a valve between the filter and the drain in the installation, it should be open.
2. Divert all the suction flow from the filtering pump to the drain, by closing the skimmer valves and
the bottom cleaning valves and fully opening the drain valve.
3. Start-up the filtering pump, by placing the selector in the Manual position for not more than 1
minute.
4. Turn off the pump by placing the selector once again in the OFF position.
5. Place the selector valve in the RINSING position and start-up the filtering pump for 30 seconds.
6. Place the selector valve in the FILTERING position.
7. Turn on the filtering pump and check that the pressure and errors do not persist. If they do,
repeat the procedure.
8. Place the valves in their normal working position.
VERY IMPORTANT
While the filter is being washed, dirty water is emptied through the drain reducing the water level of
the Spa. Once washing has been completed, check the level and fill the Spa if necessary. The Spa
will not work properly if there is insufficient water, and may even cause a breakdown.
VERY IMPORTANT
During the filter washing process, messages may appear on the control panel display, such
as HFL or LF. These do not affect the operation as long as washing and rinsing times are not
exceeded, The equipment will become seriously damaged if washing lasts longer than the set time.

5.2. CLEANING THE PRE-FILTER OF THE PUMP

It is recommended to periodically check the condition of the pre-filter of the pump to avoid it from
blocking. If debris has accumulated, the pre-filter should be opened and cleaned.
Follow these steps to clean the pre-filter:
1. Outside the filtering cycle and with the pump turned off.
2. Close the valve of the filtering circuit that connects the pump to the Spa.
3. Using the key supplied with the equipment, turn the upper cover of the pre-filter anti-clockwise
until it becomes loose. Remove the basket of the pre-filter to clean it.
4. Put the basket back into place. Place the joint of the cover to close it using the key.
5. Open the filtering circuit valve.
Please consult the pump manual for further information.
