2.4.4 Functioning

NEVER ALTER THE POSITION OF THE
VALVE WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING
FIRST REMOVE THE PLUG
NEVER DISMANTLE THE VALVE WHILE
THE FILTER IS STILL UNDER PRESSURE.
The 6-way valve controls the 6 functions
of the filter: backwash, re-circulation,
rinse, filtration, waste, closed.
To change the position of the valve, you
need to unplug the power supply, press
the upper lever of the valve down force-
fully (to conquer the resistance of the
internal spring), then turn the lever
towards the chosen function and care-
fully release it.
The function of the filter is based on
the retaining properties of the sand in
the filter. The water in the pool is forced
through the filter pump and the sand,
causing the impurities in the water to
remain in the sand – which functions as
a filter element.
REMOVING AIR FROM THE FILTER
When the air is not properly removed
from the filter, bad water circulation will
follow, consequently the filter's purifica-
tion effect via the sand will be diminished
and the motor could be damaged.
The filter needs to be de-aired at the first
use of a new appliance or with the reuse
of an appliance that hasn't been functio-
ning for a while, after using a bottom
cleaner, with absorption of air through
the skimmer due to a low water level in
the pool, due to the incorrect use of the
appliance (suction cap or skimmer cap).
If you notice that too many air bubbles
are released by the water return device,
the filter needs to be de-aired as well.
De-airing takes place by switching the
power supply off and placing the valve
into the backwash position. Let the water
flow out through the waste until there
are no more air bubbles visible in the
peak hole on the side.
Shut off the filter again and shift the
valve into the preferred position.

Function 1: FILTER
Place the valve in the filter position.
The water comes out of the pump and is
filtered by streaming downwards through
the sand and then returning the pool.
Do not filter for more than 4 hours at
a time. Leave the engine to cool for at
least two hours. The number of filtering
hours is calculated by the total volume of
pool water of the (volume of water m³)
divided by the pump capacity (m³/u).

Function 2: BACKWASh
Place the valve in the backwash position.
By backwashing, the sand in the filter is
cleaned; for this, the direction of the
water circulation needs to be reversed.
The backwash needs to be done weekly
(when the manometer indicates 0,5 to
0,8 bar higher than the nominal pressure
– pressure between 1,1 and 1,7 bar)
Attach a tube to the waste of the valve
and place the other end of the hose in
the sewer. Leave the filter running for
about 2 min. until the water runs clear;
you can verify this through the peak hole
at the side of the valve. Switch the filter
off and leave it standing for 2 min for the
sand to settle down in the filter. Put the
valve into the recycle position to prevent
impurities remaining in the valve, from
streaming back into the pool.
Then move the valve back into the
preferred position (filtering or close) and
remove the hose from the waste.
_____
Function 3: WASTE
The pool can be emptied almost com-
pletely via the filter. Move the valve into
the waste position, attach a hose to the
waste and place the other end of the
hose in the sewer.
Connect the vacuum cleaner tube to the
skimmer (remove the inner basket from
the skimmer) and let the water run out.
The pool won't be emptied completely;
switch the pump off once only a couple
of inches of water remain in the pool.
Remove the rest of the water manually.
_____
Function 4: CLoSEd
The valve is placed in the closed position
to prevent the water from circulating via
the hoses and the filter. Make sure that
the pump never functions in this position.
