It is advisable to
place foam or fit
formwork around the
mouth to prevent
concrete getting into
the tank while it is
being poured.
The overflow is to be hooked
up to a drain outlet or other
water drainage point (Ø 50).
If the water level in the pool
rises too high, the water is
quickly carried away via the
overflow to prevent it flooding
over the top.

The filtering wall should be connected to an insulated electricity supply
running directly from the main consumer unit with a 16A fuse or circuit-
breaker and a 30mA RCD. Use a 3-wire cord, earth-live-neutral, with a 1.5
or 2.5 mm² section for lengths of less than 30 linear metres.

POOLEARTH
5
The pool must be earthed without fail in
order to remove stray currents from the
water.
Stray currents are not dangerous to
people, but they do electrolyse the metal
components in the pool, which increases
corrosion. They can also disrupt the
treatment probes, resulting in incorrect amounts of
product being injected.
This is why FILTRINOV has included a pool earth
with these products. Screw it into the threaded
attachment point provided and connect it to the
earth rod with a Ø 6 mm copper braid earth strap
(parts not included).
A hole will have to be drilled in the tank to route the braid through the
packing gland provided.
With this cable gland, the
electrical cable can be run
from the house to the filter
box in the equipment housing.

FILTRATION: OPERATING PRINCIPLE
8
Water from the surface of the pool is drawn in by the skimmers and sent
through the filter cartridges, where it is cleaned. It then travels on to the
pump, which discharges it through the return nozzle back into the pool.
The filter cartridges must be washed every few complete filtration cycles.
The cartridge should be cleaned at least once a week and whenever
the suction cleaner has been used. To clean the cartridge, remove the
basket, lift out the cartridge and gently hose it down. Refit the cartridge
once it is clean.
Your GS includes a cartridge housing at the bottom of the filter holder
to fit the cartridge. Turn the cartridge a quarter turn downwards to slot
it into place in the filter holder. Remember to fit the basket and its pre-
filter.
All FILTRINOV filtration units are checked and tested with the utmost
care and subject to FILTRINOV’S stringent quality controls.
The use of non FILTRINOV-approved parts and consumable items shall
render the pump and hydraulic system warranty void.
EASYFILTER bags and cartridges are not approved by FILTRINOV.
Persistent clogging and risk of permanent damage to the pump.
The filtration time should be increased as the water temperature rises :
12° to 16° = 6 hours
16° to 24° = 8 hours
24° to 27° = 10 hours
27° to 30° = 12 to 14 hours or more
Sequencing principle: Minimum 1 h of downtime after 4h of
operation.

PUMP DISASSEMBLY AND WINTERISING
16
An actively winterised pool continues to operate at a slower than normal
rate throughout wintertime.
This is the recommended winterising procedure in less cold regions. If you
live in a harsher winter climate, you should choose to passively winterise
your pool instead.
• First clean the pool structure, the water line, basket and cartridge.
• Next, shock the pool with chlorine.
• Run the filtration system non-stop for at least 12 hours.
• Then reset your timer to run the filtration system for 30 minutes
every 3 hours (do not be afraid to increase the running time if the
temperature is significantly below zero).
• Your pool will not require any more product treatments for
the whole winter. Just monitor the water’s pH level and adjust if
necessary.
• Check and clean the basket and cartridge at regular intervals.
• We also recommend that you use winter floats in your pool.
• You can also cover your pool with a winter cover or tarp.
Passive winterising involves stopping filtration entirely.
• First clean the whole of the pool and its equipment (floor and walls, water
line, basket, cartridge, etc).
• Check the water’s pH level and adjust if necessary.
• Shock the pool with a chlorine treatment.
• Run the filtration system non-stop for at least 12 hours.
• Use a drainage pump to lower the water level to below the skimmer.
• Bump-start in manual filtration mode 3 or 4 times, for 3 seconds each
time.
• Close the 3 valves (1 suction and 2 delivery valves).
• Unscrew the pump inlet and outlet unions.
• Let the water flow into the tank.
• Disconnect the 3 pump wires from the electrical panel.
• Take the pump out of the tank and store it in a dry place.
• We also recommend that you use winter floats in your pool.
• You can also cover your pool with a winter cover or tarp.

CAUSE SOLUTION
Cartridges
• SITUATION 1: The cartridges are dirty but not clogged. Clean the cartridges at more regular intervals (once every fortnight)
•SITUATION 2: Renew the cartridges if they are clogged
•SITUATION 3: If you are using a flocculent or anti-algae treatment, lower the water level by 20 cm and renew the cartridges
Leaf baskets Clean the debris from the baskets at regular intervals and clean or renew the Netskims (skimmer socks/nets)
Pump Clean the pump housing to remove any foreign matter and unblock the turbine
Water level Check the water height, making sure it is ¾ of the way up to the skimmer niches
Priming
•Check that the pump has been primed properly
•If it hasn’t, remove the delivery system at the pump outlet, fill the pump with water and jolt-start the unit again on and off in
quick spurts (5 seconds on, 1 to 2 seconds off); 3 or 4 times should be enough
Position of the unit
•The 4 contact points on the rear of the side that is submerged in the pool should be hard against the pool wall
•This is only possible if you ensure that the tank section is perfectly horizontal and supported sufficiently high up to avoid strain that
would pull the contact points away from the pool (see the installation guide)
CAUSE SOLUTION

•If nothing happens, the remote control system unit is not working and will have to be replaced
•If the red LED comes on, configure the remote control (see paragraph 6 of the remote control unit instructions)
Remote control
•Open the remote control battery compartment and check for oxidation, etc, the condition of the battery and that it is fitted the
correct way round.
•Configure the remote control (see paragraph 6 of the remote control unit instructions).
•Look at the top of the remote to see whether it comes on when you press the button on the left.
•If nothing comes on, the remote control is not working and will have to be replaced.
Light •If none of the above items are found to be at fault, it is the light that does not work.
•It will have to be replaced using a niche (feed-through) system.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Crystal tube
The crystal tube along the inside the tank has come loose from its pneumatic switch after the side-mounted pneumatic button was
used to start the CCS.
Re-attach the tube.
Timer
• Make sure that not all the timer segments are pushed out, causing the filtration system to run non-stop. If they are, push some
back in to set OFF periods and then try to turn the dial forward in time by hand to an off period in order to stop the filter running.
•If the above step fails to switch the pump off, turn the front-mounted 3-position switch (Auto/0/Man) on the enclosure to 0. The
pump will stop, but the timer is not working and will have to be replaced.
Front-mounted 3-position
switch (Auto/0/Man)
on the electrical enclosure
•Turn the switch to 0
•If the pump is still running, check the connections at the wire terminals behind the switch inside the enclosure.
•If this still fails to switch the pump off, contact your retailer to have the switch replaced, and cut the mains electrical power to the
filter unit.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Overheating power unit
• To prevent the pump and its thermal circuit breaker from overheating, we advise you to programme your filter system to run for no
more than 3 or 4 hours at a time with a 1-hour break between operating periods.
Example : Water temperature: 24°C; required filtration time: 12 hours. We recommend that you programme the filtration unit to work
in stages from 7 am to 10 am then 11 am to 2 pm, 3 pm to 6 pm, and finally from 7 pm to 10 pm.
•We also recommend that you clean the cartridges.
Excessively dirty cartridges significantly reduce the flow of water into the pump, causing it to overwork and overheat.
PROBLEM: The pool light does not come on.
PROBLEM: The pump does not switch off
PROBLEM: The pump cuts out and starts up again later

If the circuit breaker is working properly but the unit does not switch on, the electrolyser unit is out of order and will have to be replaced.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Electrolyser unit
•Set the treatment system to maximum operating capacity (10 for 100%) for 5 minutes
•Take a voltage reading from the electrolysis cell terminals
•If the voltage reading is between 0V and 2V, there is a problem with the electronics in the electrolyser unit (power board, etc)
Electrolysis cell
•Set the treatment system to maximum operating capacity (10 for 100%) for 5 minutes.
•Take a voltage reading from the electrolysis cell terminals.
•If the voltage reading is higher than 10V, the electrolysis cell is nearing the end of its service life (max. 15 days) or is not working
(above 12V), and will have to be replaced.
Cartridges Excessively dirty cartridges will quickly consume the chlorine that is generated to clean the pool, resulting in an incorrect chlorine
production reading.
PH Level The PH level should be between 7.0 and 7.2 to keep the chlorine at peak effectiveness
CAUSE SOLUTION
Container The pH regulator container may be empty and need replacing.
Suction strainer Check that the suction strainer (plunger in the container) is properly inserted in the container. Often, the container only needs to be
displaced slightly for the plunger to no longer be inserted properly and stop the reducer being injected.
Hose
•The hose from the dosing pump to the container may have drawn in something that is preventing the pH reducer from reaching the pool.
•The hose may also have a hole, possibly caused by the acidity level of the reducer. If so, it will have to be replaced.
•We recommend that you replace the hose at least every two years as the acidity level of the pH reducer will gradually cause it to
become porous.
PROBLEM: The electrolyser unit does not switch on..
PROBLEM: The Nano pH pump does not switch on.
PROBLEM: The electrolyser is producing little or no chlorine.

CAUSE SOLUTION
No «pool earth» fitted
•A stray current is probably interfering with your probe reading. Use a glass water to check if this is the case:
1. Dip the probe into a glass of tap water (pH level between 7.5 and 8.0) and see if the reading is consistent.
2. Next, dip the probe into a 7.0 reference solution. The reading should be around 7.0. If not, the probe needs to be recalibrated.
3. Next, dip the probe into a glass filled with water from the pool. Since the probe was calibrated properly in the previous step, the pH
level shown will be correct.
4. To finish, put the probe back in its proper place (retaining clamp on the suction line).
• If the reading matches the reading from the glass filled with water from the pool, there is no stray current in the pipes; the probe
was not calibrated properly.
•If the reading does not match the reading from the glass, you will need to install a «pool earth» to the system.
A pool earth is a metal rod placed in slightly damp ground and connected to the terminal provided on the filtration unit line by a
minimum 6 mm² braided connector.
The “Pool Earth” acts as a stray current earthing device.
•We always recommend connecting your system to a “pool earth”.
pH probe
Carry out the glass of water test mentioned above using a 7.0 reference solution. Calibrate the probe using the 7.0 solution and then
dip it into a 10.0 reference solution. If the reading is not 10.0 or thereabouts, the probe is not working properly and will have to be
replaced.
PROBLEM: The pH probe is giving incorrect readings.
