I. Description of filtration tank and six-way
valve functions
The complete assembly is used for maintaining and cleaning pool water. It comprises the actual filtration
tank with a plastic base and a six-way valve. The water is filtered by running through the filtration tank filled
with a filtration medium with the help of a circulation pump. The most widespread filtration medium is silica
sand. Dirty pool water is taken in and then pumped out by the circulation pump through plumbing (pipes,
fittings, valves) and the six-way valve into the actual filtration tank. The six-way valve has a built-in pressure
gauge which also serves to visually inspect the level of contamination of the filtration medium. Water passes
through the filtration medium, which traps dirt particles. Cleaned water is forced out into the plumbing
through pipes, fittings, and circulation valves, and back into the pool. This process of cleaning pool water is
highly efficient, smooth, and ensures full recirculation of pool water.
II. Installation
Unless you are able to rely on the help of a professional for installing equipment, we recommend locating
the filtration unit as close as possible to the frame of the pool, or up to a maximum distance of approx. 5 m.
If it is necessary to install the filtration unit at a distance over 5 m, please seek professional help. The unit
must be installed on a firm flat surface. We recommend a concrete panel with a minimum thickness of 10
cm. For reliable maintenance and operation, we recommend installing the whole unit under the level of the
surface of the pool water. The plumbing system, including intake and return pipes, must be equipped with
closing valves. We recommend setting up a sewer leading to the place of installation of the unit. The sewer
may be utilized throughout the operation and maintenance of the unit.
Filling of the filtration tank with filtration medium
Place the plastic base on the selected spot before filling in the filtration tank. Install the complete drain valve
at the bottom of the tank and tighten it.
Six-way valve:
1. Loosen the flange clamp and exert a slight upward pull on the six-way valve to remove. Remove
the rubber seal from the groove on the neck of the sand tank.
2. Cover the centre pipe with a plastic guard or any other suitable method and slowly pour in the required
amount of the filtration medium (approx. 3/4 of the sand tank). When pouring in the medium, proceed
slowly to prevent movement of the centre pipe from the middle. Even out the surface of the medium in
the tank. Remove the plastic guard from the centre pipe.
3. Thoroughly clean the groove on the neck of the sand tank. Replace the six-way valve, including the rubber
seal. Apply suitable waterproof grease to the seal. We recommend using silicone-based grease.
4. Re-install the six-way valve. Carefully push the bottom hole of the valve onto the centre pipe with a slow
twisting motion. Re-install the flange clamp and lightly tighten the bolts.
5. Install the pressure gauge. Screw in the pressure gauge, including the seal, and coat the seal with grease.
Tighten the pressure gauge in the housing very carefully and gently using plastic internal threading.
6. Fasten the connecting hose to the return flange of the circulation pump and to the flange of the six-way
valve marked with the casting reading PUMP (water in).
