It is advisable to situate the equipment away from the pool, at least 3.5 m from
the edge. During installation, follow IEC international standard 60364-7-702 on
the Requirements for special installations or locations. Section 702: Swimming
pools and other basins.
3.2. Make a properly levelled concrete slab.
3.3. -Position the unit

3.4. Do the excavation to prepare for laying the intake and output tubes to the
pool and the electrical supply.
The intake and output tubes must rest on a bed of sand.
It is recommended that you make a drain in the back of the unit using the
knock-out to make the hole. This should be connected to the general tank with a
slight slope.
3.5.- Perforate the unit on the side where the electrical supply is to enter, with a
diameter that matches the cable to be installed. Determine the section of the
cable depending on power consumption and drops in voltage.
Install a cable gland of the appropriate size for the cable section at the entry.

4.1. - This makes for more accurate levelling. The unit should be put in place
when the concrete floor begins to set and levelled by the upper part. The legs
should be drilled to insert rods so the unit is fully anchored to the concrete,
without the possibility of moving when pressure is applied to the sides.

The installation must include a highly sensitive 2 pole differential on the general
panel (conforming to RBT ITC-BT-017). The differential is not supplied with the
spa.
To avoid flooding, fill with dirt, forming a slight incline.

This equipment cannot be connected to a regular plug.
This equipment requires proper electrical installation. This must be done by
specialist, following all the normatives on electrical safety in force in each
country.
The supply to the unit must always be protected by a highly-sensitive

An earthing connection is required.
Use a section cable with the appropriate power for the unit and for the

Position the selector valve to rinse and run the pump for about 15 seconds.
Stop the pump again and put the selector valve on filter.
8. Close the selector valve of the pool cleaner.
9. Connect the pump.
Note: Any changing of the position of the selector valve must be done with the
puma stopped. Otherwise, the filter or the installation could be damaged.
Replace the cover of the unit, affixing the rear part with the corresponding
screws.
1. Remove the cover of the unit to begin the start up. Unscrew the 6 screws that
affix the hinge to the cover- not those that affix the hinge to the unit- before
lifting it.

2. Open the filter and fill it halfway with water. Protect the diffuser in the interior
of the filter so sand does not get into it.
3. Fill the filter with the appropriate quantity (indicated on the specifications
label, or up to 2/3 of the total filter height) of silex sand with a grain size of 0.4 -
0.8
4. Clean the remnants of silex from the mouth, cover and gasket housing, and
close the filter. For more information, please consult the manual for the filter.
If the unit is below the water level, you will only need to open the input and
output valves and the air vent until the filter and the pump are full of water.
5. Put the valves in the following positions:
-SKIMMER OPEN
-DRAIN INPUT OPEN
-POOL CLEANER OPEN
-RETURN OPEN
-SELECTOR VALVE CLEAN
6. Start up the pump and clean the filter.
Run the cleaning until you see that the water is clean and clear in the window on
the selector valve.

After CLEANING the filter and before returning the equipment to filtration, it is
advisable to run a RINSE to prevent the first quantity of water that is still cloudy
from going directly into the pool. To do this, with the pump stopped, put the
selector valve on RINSE. Start up the pump and run it for about a minute.
Always check the window of the selector valve to ensure that this is the correct
time, since it depends on the amount of filth accumulated in the filter.

The solid particles in the pool that are collected by the input drain and the
skimmers remain in the sand in the filter, which constantly decreases the water
flow. Due to this, the pressure increases progressively. When the pressure
reaches 1.3 kg/cm
2
, a CLEANING will be done (this is an approximation; it
depends on the distance between the unit and the pool, its location,
etc.).
Proceed
as follows:
Put the selector valve on the CLEAN position and start the pump. Run this for 2
minutes. Always check the window of the selector valve to ensure that this is the
correct time, since it depends on the amount of filth accumulated in the filter.

If the pool does not have a drain in the bottom, it can be emptied using the filter
pump by putting the valve on DRAIN. To do this, open the valves of the input
