The extensive range of Cantabric filters is considered
to be one of the longest lasting filter series available
on the market, offering optimal performance and
cost-efficiency. Manufactured in die-cast
thermoplastics, the two halves of the filter are
subsequently solvent-welded and fitted with
collectors and diffuser of inalterable plastic to
achieve full anti-corrosion protection with virtually
no maintenance. Nevertheless, one of the main
characteristics of these filters is the innovative
design used to achieve a unique product within
the AstralPool filter range.
In order to provide adequate filtering for large
private pools, Cantabric filters are available in
diameters up to 900 mm that can withstand high
flow rates of water without reducing the filtration
rate to keep pool water crystal-clear.

• Available with side mount or top mount, to adapt to the
particular characteristics and available space at each
pool site.
• Filter body manufactured of chemical-resistant, weather-
resistant, inalterable plastic. Designed for outdoor use.

ENGLISH
IMPORTANT: The instruction manual you are holding includes essential information on the safety measures to be
implemented for installation and start-up. Therefore, the installer as well as the user must read the instructions before
beginning installation and start-up.
Keep this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum performance of the Filter, follow the instructions provided below:
What happens to the water in your pool?
This should be a question of prime consideration for all pool owners. In the past some pools did not use filtering systems,
the owner was faced with the problem of refilling the pool with clean water when this became necessary. Refilling the pool
was laborious, meanwhile the owner had an unsanitary pool with unpleasant bathing owing to the poor clarity of the water.
Today pool owners demand absolute hygiene, crystal clear water and economy of effort. These objectives are achieved by
effective filtration and chemical treatment of the pool water.
After filling the pool with clean water in the summer, two basic factors can take place due to the exposure of water to the
sun and the air.
1.-Biological contamination. The water is contaminated by micro-organisms which may be airborne or introduced by
bathers. These parasites reproduce rapidly in still warm water and algae may form giving a greenish appearance to the pool
water.
2.-Rainfall and wind may introduce dust, with leaves and seeds which muddy and pollute the pool water. These two factors
generate in little time an unsanitary swimmingpool and unpleasant bathing.
Solutions to the problem:
1.-“CHEMICAL” TREATMENT
Maintain the correct level of sanitiser (chlorine, brom, oxygen...) in the water to combat existing micro-organisms by its
disinfecting action.
As chlorine is the more common method, it will be taken as the reference point.
2.-“PHYSICAL” TREATMENT
Provide the pool with a filtration system (filter and pump) to remove suspended particles from the water.
PH LEVEL
The pH level is an indicator of acidity or alkalinity present in the water. The neutral value is 7.0. a pH of 0-7 means levels
of acidity whilst 7-14 gives levels of alkalinity. The pool usual readings vary between 6.8 and 8.4.
Why pH is important?
“THE IDEAL PH VALUE IN A POOL SHOULD BE BETWEEN 7.2 AND 7.6”.
As previously stated, sufficient residual chlorine must exist in the pool to destroy unwanted micro-organisms, in fact the
chlorine will only act as a bactericide when the pool water has a pH of between 7.2 and 7.6.
There are other reasons which call for a correct pH level: Once above 7.6, calcium in the pool will precipitate to a visible
cloudy form (accentuated in hard water areas).
This gives a milky appearance to the water, and hinders the filtering, deposits may also appear on the pool walls and
fittings.
Once the pH level falls below 7.0 the pool water becomes corrosive causing eye irritation and affecting mucous membranes.
There is also a long term threat to metallic parts in the pool.
The quality of the pool water is highly dependent on maintaining the correct pH level.
CHLORINE
Standards for the amount of residual (free) chlorine in the pool water may vary from country to country, depending on health
authority regulations. Typical legal requirements are between 0.2 and 0.6 parts per million, (i.e. 0.2-0.6 milligrams per
litre).

What is understood by free or residual chlorine?
Even after the filtering process, certain bacteria remains to be destroyed by the disinfecting action of the chlorine which is
usually acting on the bacteria in the form of hyperchloric acid.
A quantity of chlorine that is added to the water (in excess of that needed to destroy bacteria and oxidize organic material)
remains free to combat new bacteria introduced by bathers or atmospheric agents.
This chlorine remaining in the water in the form of hyperchloric acid is known as free, residual chlorine.
FILTRATION
It is essential that the filtration is accompanied by chemical treatment of the pool water.
The two processes are complimentary to each other.
WORKING PRINCIPLES
(6) return suction inlets (2) skimmer
(5) filter
multiport valve
(1) drain
(4) pump (3) valve
A suction is taken from the main drains (1) on the bottom of the pool and the skimmers (2) at the pool surface and fed via
separate pipework with their corresponding valves (3), through the pump (4) to the sand filter (5).
After filtration, the water is returned to the pool via return inlets (6), which are installed on the opposite side of the pool to
the skimmers and main drains.
Once in the filter, the water is circulated downwards through silica sand and suspended particles are retained.
The filter sand needs to be washed at intervals to remove the particles it has retained backwash.
This is achieved by reversing the flow through the filter and directing the water containing the dislodged particles to drain.
When the filter pressure increased by 0.5 kg/cm2or more with respect to the initial pressure means that the sandfilter needs
to be backwashed.
Bearing these principles in mind, the following installation and operation instructions should not represent any problem.

INSTALLATION
The filter should be installed as close as possible to the swimming pool and preferably at a level of 0,50 metres below the
surface of the water in the swimming pool. Make sure there is drainage available at the place where the filter is to be
installed.
ATTENTION
If the filter is installed indoors, a correctly sized drain should be installed, to drain off as much water as possible from the
swimming pool, to avoid flooding risks of the premises or adjoining areas. If this is not done, the filter manufacturer will
not be held liable for possible damage to third parties caused by the filter.
IMPORTANT: Do not use an iron and hemp pipe for the selector valve connection, it is essential to use plastic accessories
and TEFLON tape. Pipe terminals are available threaded fixing in 1 ½ “ and 2”.
Always leave enough space round the filter in order to perform the necessary examinations and maintenance during the
filter's life.
ASSEMBLY
Follow these indications for a correct assembly of the filter:
1.- Place the filter on a horizontal and clean surface.
2.- Place the filter in its final location.
3.- In case of a filter with a lateral valve, install the selector valve in the filter. Make sure that the joints between the valve
and the filter are correctly placed.
4.- Perform the three connections of the selector valve: pump piping to the valve, valve to the waste drain and valve to the
pool return. Each of these three outlets is clearly identified on the valve.
5.- Set the manometer T, the joint, the manometer and the air drainage (see exploded view). It is not necessary to use
teflon tape, as the watertightness is guaranteed in this case by the joint. Do not tighten the manometer T with a tool, as
manually will be sufficient.

SAND LOAD
In order to obtain maximum efficiency from your filter, it should be filled with silica sand with a grain size classification of
16 / 32 inches. With the quantity indicated on the plate specifying the characteristics; proceed as follows:
Load up when the filter is installed in position and the connection pipes have been joined.
1.- Unscrew and remove the cover.
2.- Remove the selector valve or transparent cover, depending on the model, and the O-ring.
3.- Check that all collector arms are in good condition.
4.- Fill the filter with water to half capacity.
5.- Pour the required, slowly and very carefully, quantity of sand, as indicated on the label, inside the filter.
6.- Clean the seating of the lid joint.
7.- Place the O-ring and the selector valve or transparent cover, depending on the model.
8.- Screw on the cover.
Attention: when operating check that water does not leak from the filter through the cover.
Note: the manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damage caused to the filter while filling it with sand.

FILTRATION PROCESS
The selector valve has a handle of 6 positions that selects any of the necessary operations to obtain the maximum efficiency
from the filter.
IMPORTANT: Always switch off the pump, when changing the position of the selector valve.
FILTRATION
With the pump switched off, place the handle of the selector valve in the FILTERING
position.
Switch on the pump.
When starting up for the first time, read the pressure of the pressure gauge. It is
recommended to take note of this pressure, as later it will be used to know whether the
filter is dirty and if “WASHING” is required. “WASHING” should be done when the
pressure gauge indicates an increase of 0.5 kg/cm2with respect to the initial pressure of
the filter. it is advisable to observe the pressure gauge from time to time as this indicates
the degree of saturation of the filter
Bear in mind that the valves at the bottom of the pool and the skimmers will be adjusted
according to the amount of floating particles on the surface of the water. The main drain
and skimmer valves will be regulated according to the quantity of floating material found on
the surface of the water. Bear in mind that with the main drain valve fully open there will
be little suction from the skimmers. If the surface sweep of the skimmers is to be stronger,
reduce the flow from the main drain.
Example:
0,8 kg/cm² - 11,4 PSI: Initial pressure of 1,3 kg/cm² - 18,5 PSI: The pressure is 0.5 kg/cm2more
the filter at the start of a filtering cycle. than the initial pressure, indicating that WASHING is required.
BACKWASH
Each load of sand forms thousands of channels which pick up all the material contained
and caught up in the filtering process, the number of free channels allowing the water to
pass is continually decreasing. This is why the pressure rises progressively until it an
increase of 0.5 kg/cm2. At this pressure the filtering sand is unable to collect any more
impurities and must be cleaned as follows:
Turn the selector valve to the “BACKWASH” position and with the main drain and return
valves open, switch on the pump and run it for 2 minutes. When this operation is
completed, the dirt blocking the filter will have been removed.
Attention: Too much time in this operation could cause damage to the filter collector unit.

RECIRCULATE
In this position, the selector valve allows the water from the pump to go directly to the
swimming pool without passing through the inside of the filter.
WASTE
If the swimming pool needs to be drained, this can be done using the filter pump.
In order to do this, the selector valve should be in the “WASTE” position. The
motor is run with the main drain valve fully open, for the pump to have sufficient
suction. For the pump to suction, keep the prefilter and the main drain pipes full
of water. Before drainage, make sure that the skimmer valves and the bottom
cleaner valves are closed.
RINSE
After the carrying out the “BACKWASH” operation on the filter and placing the
installation in the “FILTER” position, the water flowing into the swimming pool
will be cloudy for a few seconds, so to prevent it from reaching the swimming
pool there is a “RINSE” position for the selector valve which is operated as
follows: immediately after the “BACKWASH” put the valve in the “RINSE”
position and switch on the pump for 1 minute, after which the pump is switched
off and the valve placed in the “FILTER” position.
This position ensures that the filtered water goes directly to the drain.
CLOSED
As its name indicates, this position is for closing off the water from the of the filter
pump and it is used for opening the collector prefiltre of the pump.
START-UP
When the filter has been loaded, the sand must be washed. Proceed as follows:
1.-Open the air bleed cap to blow out the air.
2.- Place the selector valve in the "LAVADO" (BACKWASH) position.
3.- Open the valves controlling the swimming pool suction pipes and run the pump for 4 minutes.
4.- Stop the pump, place the handle of the selector valve into the "RINSE" position and rinse for 1 min. Then, stop the
pump and place the handle of the selector valve into “FILTRATION” (FILTERING) position.
5.- Close the air bleed cap when water starts to come out.
When this has been done, the filter will be ready to start the filtering cycles for the water in the swimming pool.
IMPORTANT: The pump should be switched off when the position of the selector valve handle is being changed.

MAINTENANCE
Do not use solvents for cleaning the filter, this could damage the filter, especially its finish.
Always replace the joints and pieces that may not be in good condition.
Backwash and rinse when needed, as per the instructions specified in this manual.
Clean the sand every year for a better performance with solid or liquid ASTRAL Filnet product. It’s recommended to change
the sand inside the filter aproximately every 3 years.
Winter period, in order not to damage the filter during the winter period, please follow the instructions below:
Perform a backwash and a rinse as previously detailed.
Remove the water from the filter.
Take off the lid to ventilate the filter in the period of inactivity.
When you need to start up the filter again after a period of inactivity, follow the instructions stated in the paragraph "START
UP".
The most common PROBLEMS
SAFETY WARNINGS
Never start up the system without water.
Whenever you operate the filter or the selector valve, switch off the pump first.
Never allow children or adults to sit on the system.
Do not connect the filter directly to the water network, as the pressure of the water may be too high and exceed the
maximum work pressure allowed by the filter.
Do not use the filtering circuit to fill and adjust the water level of the pool. A handling error may lead to overpressure in the
filter.
Do not clean the lid with solvents, as it may damage its properties (finish, transparency …).
As all the connections are made with joints, it is not necessary to tighten the nuts excessively in order to avoid that some
plastic pieces could break.
DO NOT use teflon in the T-part of the pressure gauge Kit, code 00545R0300, to ensure sealing.
EFFECT POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The filter only provides a small volume
of the filtered water.
Vacuum heads have poor suction.
Prefilter blocked. Clean filter.
Motor turning the wrong way. Change direction of motor.
Suction pipes are blocked. Proceed to clean.
The pressure gauge varies
considerably.
The pump is taking in air. Check for leaks in the prefilter and
suction pipes.
Suction is half closed. Check that the suction valves are
completely open.

IMPORTANT: le manuel d’instructions que vous avez entre les mains contient des informations de première importance
sur les mesures de sécurité à adopter au moment de l’installation et de la mise en service. Il est par conséquent
indispensable que l’installateur et l’utilisateur lisent attentivement les instructions avant de commencer le montage et
la mise en marche.
Conservez ce manuel en vue de futures consultations sur le fonctionnement de cet appareil.
Pour optimiser le rendement du Filter, il est recommandé de bien suivre les instructions qui vous sont données ci-dessous :
Qu’arrive-t-il à l’eau de votre piscine?
Logiquement c’est la première question à se poser. Avant, la plupart des piscines ne disposaient pas d’installation de
dépuration. Elles étaient simplement remplies d’eau propre et après quelques jours, quand l’eau avait un aspect
désagréable, elles étaient vidées, nettoyées et remplies à nouveau. Cela, sans aucun doute, présentait divers inconvénients :
gaspillage d’eau, insalubrité de la piscine et bain peu agréable dû à une insuffisante transparence de l’eau. La société
actuelle exige : économie, hygiène et commodité. Pour ces raisons, nous devons équiper les piscines des installations et
traitements appropriés.
Quand la piscine est remplie avec de l’eau du réseau public ou d’un puit, généralement, nous pouvons observer qu’elle est
propre mais son exposition au soleil et à l’air produit les deux phénomènes suivants :
1.- L’eau se contamine des microorganismes de l’atmosphère, plus ceux introduits par les baigneurs et, en ne s’oxygénant
pas, les parasites se reproduisent dans la piscine en formant des algues. Cette formation de vie est favorisée par la
température ambiante élevée qui accompagne généralement le traitement de la piscine (l’été dans les piscines découvertes,
chauffage dans les piscines couvertes). L’eau prend alors une coloration verte.
2.-L’air et la pluie introduisent dans l’eau des quantités de poussières, terre et feuilles qui la troublent.
L’introduction de ces deux éléments dans l’eau donne le résultat suivant en très peu d’heures ou en quelques jours : une
piscine pas du tout hygiénique et désagréable au bain.
Le moyen de combattre ces deux problèmes est le suivant :
1.-TRAITEMENT “CHIMIQUE”
Il faut maintenir dans l’eau une quantité de désinfectant (chlore, brome, oxygène...) suffisante pour que les bactéries
et microorganismes introduits puissent être détruits de suite.
Nous vous conseillons le chlore, car c'est la méthode la plus utilisée.
2.-TRAITEMENT “PHYSIQUE”
Equiper la piscine d’un filtre qui par intermédiaire d’une pompe retiendra en son intérieur toutes les matières en
suspension dans l’eau.
LE pH
Le PH est le degré d’acidité de l’eau. Les taux de PH sont compris entre 0 et 14, le taux 7 correspondant au degré neutre,
les taux entre 0 et 7 à des degrés acides et entre 7 et 14 à des degrés alcalins.
Les taux habituels dans une piscine sont compris entre 6,8 et 8,4.
Pourquoi le PH est-il important?
“Le taux idéal du PH dans une piscine doit être situé entre 7,2 et 7,6”.
Avant il était conseillé de maintenir dans l’eau une quantité de chlore résiduel suffisante pour la destruction des bactéries.
Mais ce chlore n’agira efficacement comme bactéricide que quand l’eau où se dissoudra aura un PH compris entre 7,2 et
7,6. Si vous voulez donc détruire les bactéries, il faut maintenir le PH au taux indiqué.
D’autres éléments obligent à maintenir le PH correctement. S’il est supérieur à 7,6 le calcaire de l’eau est visible, trouble
l’eau et lui donne un aspect laiteux, obturant rapidement le filtre et s’accrochant aux parois et aux accessoires. Si le taux
de PH est inférieur à 7,2 l’eau est corrosive produisant des irritations des yeux et des muqueuses nasales et pouvant même
détruire les parties métalliques de l’installation de filtration.
Il apparaît donc que la qualité de l’eau dépend beaucoup du taux du PH.

LE CHLORE
Normes légales
Les réglementations sanitaires en vigueur préconisent le taux de chlore libre dans l’eau des piscines compris entre 0,20 et
0,60 milligrammes par litre. (On dit aussi – c’est identique- que le contenu de chlore libre est de 0,2 à 0,6 ppm- parts par
million).
Ce que nous appelons chlore libre ou résiduel
Dans l’eau, même après la filtration, il reste un certain nombre d’ennemis invisibles qu’il faut détruire.
Pour cette destruction, il faut une quantité déterminée de chlore qui agit sous forme d’acide chlorhydrique. Le chlore ajouté
au dessus du taux nécessaire pour détruire les bactéries et oxyder la matière organique reste libre dans l’eau sous la forme
d’acide hypochloridique dans l’attente d’agir contre quelques ennemis bactéries, matières organiques, etc… qui sont
introduits à nouveau dans l’eau soit par le baigneur, soit par les agents atmosphériques : vent, pluie, etc… ou par une autre
cause.
Le chlore qui reste dans l’eau sous forme d’acide hypochloridique dans l’attente d’agir, apporté au-dessus des nécessités
immédiates, s’appelle chlore libre ou résiduel.
LA FILTRATION
La filtration est seulement une partie du travail à réaliser pour maintenir l’eau de la piscine propre. Elle est inséparable du
traitement chimique car l’un ne va pas sans l’autre pour obtenir le résultat escompté.
On généralise l’idée, en achetant une installation que la machine fera tout, ce qui lui donne l’appellation de
« dépurateur », alors qu’il ne s’agit que d’un filtre. La dépuration consiste en une parfaite conjonction des deux traitements,
le physique et le chimique.
PRINCIPES DE FONCTIONNEMENT
(6) réfoulement prise-balai (2) skimmer
(5) filtre
vanne multivoies
(1) bonde de fond
(4) pompe (3) vannes
L’eau est aspirée du fond de la piscine par la bonde de fond (1) et à la surface par les skimmers (2) et arrivé au filtre (5)
par des conduits séparés équipés chacun de vannes (3). L’eau filtrée est ensuite refoulée à la piscine par les bouches (6).
Ces bouches de refoulement sont installées du côté opposé des skimmers et de la bonde de fond renouvelant ainsi toute
l’eau de la piscine.
Le filtre proprement dit comprend la charge de sable silice au travers de laquelle circule l’eau dans le sens descendant,
retenant ainsi les matières en suspension dans l’eau.
Quand le cycle de filtration fonctionne parfaitement et au bout d’un certain temps, il est nécessaire de laver le filtre car le
sable est obstrué par les saletés qui empêchent l’eau de passer. Quand la préssion dans le filtre augmenté de 0,5 kg/cm² ou
plus par rapport à la pression initiale, il est nécessaire d'effectuer un lavage.
Le lavage à contre courant permet d’inverser le sens de circulation de l’eau dans le filtre et ainsi les impuretés sont rejetées
dans l’égout.
En appliquant ces informations, le fonctionnement ne doit poser aucun problème.

L’INSTALLATION
Le filtre doit être installé le plus près possible de la piscine et de préférence à 0,50 m au-dessous du niveau de l’eau de la
piscine. Prévoir un égout dans le local où sera situé le filtre.
ATTENTION
Si le filtre est installé dans un local, il faut prévoir une vidange aux dimensions correctes pour évacuer le maximum d’eau
s’écoulant de la piscine afin d’éviter le risque d’inondations dans le local en question ou dans les locaux contigus ; si
cette obligation n’est pas exécutée, le fabricant du filtre est libéré de toute responsabilité des possibles dommages
occasionnés à des tiers par suite d’un incident survenu sur le filtre.
IMPORTANT : Ne pas utiliser pour le raccordement de la vanne multivoie des tuyauteries en fer, de la filasse et du
dissolvant. Il est indispensable d’utiliser des accessoires plastiques et du téflon. Nous disposons pour cela de raccords 3
pièces en 1 ½ « et 2 » et de joints d’étanchéité caoutchouc. Demandez-les à votre fournisseur.
Toujours laisser espace sufisant autour du filtre afin de pouvoir réaliser les contrôles et l'entretien necessaries pendant la
vie utile du filtre.
MONTAGE
Procédez comme suit pour un correct montage du filtre:
1.- Son installation doit toujours être réalisée sur une surface horizontale et complètement propre.
2.- Installer le filtre sur l'emplacement final.
3.- Dans le cas d'un filtre avec vanne latérale, installer la vanne multivoie dans le filtre. Faire attention à que les joints
entre la vanne et le filtre sont correctement positionnés.
4.- Réaliser les trois connexions de la vanne multivoie: tuyauterie de la pompe à la vanne, de la vanne à l'égout, et de la
vanne au retour de la piscine. Sur la vanne, chaque sortie est dûment identifiée.
5.-Installer le Té manomètre, le joint, le manomètre et le bouchon de dégazage (purge) d'eau (voir schema). Il n'est pas
nécessaire l'utilisation de Téflon, car l'étanchéité est garantie par le joint. Ne pas serrer le Té manomètre avec l'aide d'un
outil, car il suffit avec les mains.

CHARGE DE SABLE
Pour obtenir le meilleur rendement de ces filtres il faut les remplir de silice, granulométrie de 0,5 à 0,7 mm, avec la
quantité indiquée sur la plaque des caractéristiques.
Procéder comme suit :
Mettre le filtre en place et raccorder les tuyauteries
1.- Dévisser et enlever le couvercle fileté.
2.- Retirer la vanne de sélection ou le couvercle transparent, selon le modèle, et le joint torique.
3.- Vérifi er que les bras collecteurs sont mis en place et sont en état de marche.
4.- Remplir le filtre, peu à peu et en faisant très attention, avec de l'eau jusqu'à la moitié du même.
5.- Verser à l’intérieur du filtre, doucement et en faisant très attention, la quantité de sable nécessaire, indiquée sur
l’étiquette.
6.- Nettoyer la rainure du joint de couvercle
7.- Replacer le joint torique et la vanne de sélection ou le couvercle transparent, selon le modèle.
8.- Revisser le couvercle fileté.
Attention : quand il est en marche, vérifiez que le filtre ne perd pas d’eau par la couvercle fileté.
Remarque : le fabricant n’assume pas la responsabilité d’un dommage quelconque occasionné sur le filtre pendant le
remplissage du filtre avec du sable.
MISE EN MARCHE
La vanne multivoie possède une manette à 6 positions qui permette selectionner les opérations necessaries pour le bon
fonctionnement du filtre.
IMPORTANT: Tout changement de position de la manette de la vanne multivoie doit se faire avec la pompe arrêtée.
FILTRATION
La pompe arrêtée, mettre la manette de la vanne multivoies en “ FILTRATION “.
Démarrer la pompe.
La première fois que vous le mettez à fonctionner, vous devez observer le manomètre et
voir quelle pression il indique ; nous vous recommandons de la noter, car plus tard vous
en aurez besoin pour savoir si le filtre est sale et si vous devez procéder à un “LAVAGE”.
Il faut réaliser un “LAVAGE” lorsque le manomètre indique une augmentation de 0,5
kg/cm² par rapport à la pression initiale du filtre. Il est prudent de regarder de temps en
temps le manomètre qui indique le degré de saturation du filtre.
Il faut tenir compte du fait que les vannes du fond de la piscine et des skimmers seront
réglées selon la quantité de matières flottantes qui se trouvent sur la surface de l’eau. Si
la vanne de la bonde de fond est complètement ouverte, l’aspiration par les skimmers est
faible. Si vous désirez que les skimmers aspirent plus énergiquement à la surface de
l’eau, il suffit de refermer un peu le passage de la fonde de fond.
Exemple :
0,8 kg/cm² - 11,4 PSI: Pression initiale 1,3 kg/cm² - 18,5 PSI: La pression est 0,5 kg/cm² supérieure à la
d’un filtre au début d’un cycle de filtration pression initiale, cela signifie qu’il faut procéder au LAVAGE

LAVAGE
Le sable forme des milliers de canaux de passage qui retiennent toutes les matières en
suspension. Au fur et à mesure, les canaux se bouchent et l’eau ne peut pas passer. Pour
cette raison, la pression s’élève progressivement jusqu’à atteindre une augmentation de 0,5
kg/cm², ce qui indique que le sable est encombré de saletés et qu’il est nécessaire de le
nettoyer de la façon suivante :
Placer la vanne multivoies en position « LAVAGE ». Ouvrir les vannes de la bonde de fond
et des bouches de refoulement. Démarrer la pompe. Effectuer cette manœuvre pendant 2
minutes. Cette opération permet de verser toute la saleté qui obstruait le filtre sans l’égout.
Attention: Un temps trop prolongé pour réaliser cette opération peut occasionner des
dommages sur l’ensemble collecteur du filtre.
RECIRCULATION
Dans cette position, la vanne multivoies effectue le passage de l’eau provenant de la
pompe directement à la piscine sans passer par l’intérieur du filtre.
VIDANGE
Dans le cas où il n’existe pas de vidange au fond de la piscine allant
directement à l’égout, la vidange peut se faire à l’aide la pompe. Pour cette
opération, placer la vanne multivoies en position de “ VIDANGE “. Démarrer la
pompe avec la vanne de la bonde de fond ouverte. Pour que la pompe aspire, il
faut que les conduits d’eau de la bonde et le préfiltre soient pleins d’eau.
Avant de commencer la vidange, vérifier que les vannes des skimmers et de la
bouche prise balai soient bien fermées.
RINÇAGE
Après avoir procédé au “ LAVAGE “ du filtre, mettre en position “ FILTRATION “.
Pendant quelques secondes, l’eau qui arrive à la piscine est trouble. Pour éviter
cela, il existe une position “ RINÇAGE “. Procéder comme suit : Immédiatement
après de “ LAVAGE “, placer la vanne en position “ RINÇAGE “ et faire marcher la
pompe pendant une minute. Puis arrêter la pompe et placer la vanne en position “
FILTRATION “.
Cette position envoie l’eau sale directement à l’égout.
FERMETURE
Comme le nom l’indique, cette position s’utilise pour fermer le passage de l’eau de la
pompe au filtre.
Elle permet d’ouvrir le préfiltre de la pompe.
