1. VALVE CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 VERIFICATION OF VALVE TYPE.
Multiport valve, 1½" Model BASIC - 115-230VAC (50-60 Hz); Model 2" BASIC - 115-230VAC
(50-60 Hz). Both the model and code are indicated on a label, together with the valve operating
specifi cations and the label itself is located on the rear section of the electronic module cover
which is installed on the valve.
Valve hydraulic and electrical operation are verifi ed before it leaves the factory.
It is recommended that before carrying out the installation, a visual inspection be performed in
case any knocks were received which could have damaged the valve.
The valve will be replaced in any justifi ed complaint.

1.2 FLOW DIAGRAM FOR THE VARIOUS VALVE OPERATING POSITIONS.

The valve should be installed in the fi lter following the instructions provided in the included
leafl et.
The valve may be positioned on the side or top of the fi lter, in whichever position is most comfortable
for subsequent use.
Installation under load, the maximum water column that can be supported by the pump is six
metres (19.68 ft).
The hydraulic connections for correct operation are made by following the markings on the valve
itself.
PUMP indicates the connection coming from the pump.
TOP indicates the upper input to the fi lter.
BOTTOM indicates the lower return from the fi lter to the valve.
RETURN indicates the return from the valve to the swimming pool.
WASTE indicates the connection to the drains.
Introduction to the fi ltration process operation:
The pump sucks water from the swimming pool via the skimmer, bottom cleaner or drain, it is taken
to the multiport valve (PUMP connection) and from here to the fi lter (TOP). It passes through the
fi lter bed and returns to the valve once again via the BOTTOM connection and is taken back to the
swimming pool by means of the RETURN connection.

The valve includes a pressure switch which is factory set to an operating pressure of 1.5kg/cm
(21.3 psi). If this requires further adjustment, it should be set to the pressure of the installed pump,
2
adjustment range: 0.3 to 2 kg/cm (4.2-28.4 psi). According to requirements, it can be installed
with an adjustment of between 1 and 6 kg/cm 2 (14.22-85.3 psi).
If the pressure exceeds the pre-established limit, the valve will automatically change over to the
Backwash position.
This change can also be automatically time controlled, after 7 days of the valve being connected
to the mains supply.
