Before you join the connectors, you
must screw the PVC elbow (7) onto
the return opening . Do this as fol-
lows . Screw the PVC elbow carefully
onto the return piece with some
Teflon on the thread and ensure that
this is done in one fluid movement,
without stopping or unscrewing and
with the outlet pointing downwards
at a right angle . You must then
tighten the ring with the proper span-
4
ner, while holding the return piece in
place on the inside of the pool . This
is to ensure that the return piece
remain in position .
In general, the semi-flexible con-
nector tubes need to be shortened
straight and square . Prepare the con-
nectors 1, 3, 4 and 6 as follows .
Couplings
Unscrew the nut completely from
the fitting . Slide the nut with the in-
sert over the flexible tube . Then slide
the white clamp over the tube until
approximately 2 cm of tube sticks out
below the white clamp .
Now push the tube into the fitting
up to the edge and press the white
clamp down onto the fitting . Place
the seal into the fitting .
Tighten the nut of the fitting .
This way it will be perfectly water-
proof .
If you have a coupling without a rub-
ber packing, you are advised to apply
Teflon to the thread or nipple in order
to maintain it's waterproof capacity .
taps
Prepare the connectors to the tap in
the same way as the couplings, but
1
in both directions from the tap .
Connecting the filter unit to the
pool.
Follow the drawing . Connect the 2
skimmers with the semi-flexible con-
nection tube to the T-joint (9) (glue) .
Glue to the remaining end of the
T-joint a semi-
flexible connection tube, connect
to the pump and place a ball-valve
in-between (4, 5, 6, 8, 9) . 4, 5 and 9
should have been coupled after the
placement of
the skimmers, in order to continue
filling the pool .
Then, connect the 2 water return
devices to the T-joint (10) (glue) . Glue
to the
remaining end of the T-joint a semi-
flexible connection tube, connect to
the filter and fit a ball valve to this
connection too (1, 2, 3, 10) . 1, 2 and
10 should have been coupled already
after fitting the return devices,
in order to continue filling the pool .
After installation, the filter needs
to be backwashed automatically; in
this pro-cess the filter sand is rinsed
to prevent impurities from entering
the pool .
Afterwards, you place the valve in
the filter position and let the pump
run; the needle of the manometer
indicates the nominal pressure to
which the filter is exposed . Write
down this pressure (normally be-
tween 0 .6 and 1 .1 bar) .
