4. OPERATION
The operation of this lter is based on the ltration capacity of the silica sand that is inside. The water in
the pool is driven by the lter pump and forced to pass through the silica sand.The sand acts as a ltering
element that retains the impurities in the water. The environment, trees, pollen, insects and frequency of
bathing, amongstother factors, determinethe dirtiness ofthe waterin thepool.Dependingon thesefactors,
the silica sand in the lter should be cleaned with greater or less frequency (see section 5.3). Check the level
of dirt in the lter regularly.
To keep the pool water in good condition, use the chemical products recommended by the manufacturer
(chlorine, algaecides, occulants, etc.).
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED IN THE SKIMMER BASKET OR FED
THROUGH THE FILTER, AS THIS WOULD DETERIORATE THE MATERIALS OF THE UNIT AND
LIMIT ITS EFFICACY.
Whenever chemical products are used to treat the pool water, it is recommended that the minimum ltra-
tion time is respected in order to protect bathers’health, as stated by the health regulations.
4.1. PRIMING THE FILTER
The lter must be correctly primed at all times. If the lter is not primed, this means that an air chamber has
been created inside that causes defective circulation of water.This prevents proper ltration of the water by
the silica sand and is detrimental to the motor.
The lter may become unprimed for several reasons:
• If a neew unit is connected.
• If a unit is started up after an extended period of inactivity.
• Following the use of a suction pool cleaner.
• If air has been absorbed by the skimmer due to a low level of water in the pool.
• Due to incorrect use of the unit, suction cover or skimmer plug.
When is the lter unprimed?
We can see that the lter is unprimed when:
• The water entering the lter sounds like it is falling freely. This indicates that an air chamber has been
created between the water inlet and the silica sand.
• An excess of air bubbles is released through the return nozzle.
• A pool cleaner (not supplied) does not operate with a suction system, and the silica sand remains clean after
cleaning.
How can the lter be primed?
• Verify thatthe suctionhose is connected to the skimmer and the passage is clear (the plug is not inplace).

Installation and General Maintenance Manual -MONOBLOCK FILTER 7
ENGLISH
• With thevalve inthe lterposition, slightlyloosen thedrain nutthat isbeside thepressuregauge, soas to
expel the air accumulated inside the lter.
• When you see that only water is released (for 1 to 2 minutes), re-tighten the nut.
4.2. FILTRATION
NEVER HANDLE THE VALVE WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING
Backwash the sand before the rst ltration. (Part 5.3)
The valve should be in the lter position (FILTER).The service life of the lter will be longer if the periods of
continuous operation do not exceed 4 hours. The need for daily ltration is determined by the volume of
water in your pool in m3in relation to the m3/h lter ow rate for a water temperature of approximately 21
ºC and placed 3.5 m from the pool. Leave the motor at a standstill for at least 2 h between each 4 h period
of operation.
Pool volume in m3
=Hours required Example: 42 m3 = 7,63 hours
Filter ow rate in m3/h 5.5 m3/h 2 cycles of 4 hours with a break of 2 hours
In the initial ltration treatment it is important to leave the lter at a standstill for the periods indicated. It is
recommended that you increase the amount of time in ratio to any temperature rise in the pool.
4.3. FILTER BACKWASHING
The backwashing process cleans the silica sand inside the lter. This is achieved by reversing the direction
of water circulation with the top selector valve. This process should be done regularly. For this purpose you
should observe several factors that indicate the dirtiness of the sand:
• When a reduction in the return ow rate of over 30% of the system’s nominal ow rate is detected.
• When the manometer indicates excessive pressure (see the maximum working pressure given in the ins-
truction manual included with the device).
To clean the lter, proceed as follows according to valve type:
• Disconnect the lter from the mains. Never move the selector valve while the motor is running.
• Firmly press the upper selector valve, displacing the front rib, until you can turn it.
• Turn the lever gently until the front rib is in line with the backwashing mode.
• Connect a hose to the valve waste outlet from the valve and direct the other end of the hose to a drain
or sewer.
• Run the lter for approximately 2 minutes (until impurities no longer run out with the water).
• Stop the unit.
• Put the valve in the rinse position and connect the lter for a few seconds.

ENGLISH
• Stop the unit, put it in the desired lter position and remove the hose from the waste position, if you so
desire.
4.4. DRAINING THE POOL
The lter allows you to drain most of the pool water after the bathing season has ended. In order to
do so, you should set the top selector valve on the drainage setting without plugging in the lter and
connect a hose to the valve waste outlet and direct the other end to the drain or sewer.
THEHOSESHOULDNOTCONTINUETOAPPLYSUCTIONTOTHEBOTTOMOFTHEPOOLLINER.
THE PUMP MAY BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED IF IT OPERATES WITHOUT WATER CIRCULATION
OR MAY DAMAGE THE LINER.
4.5. RINSING
Having completed a lter“BACKWASH”cycle and having put the unit on“FILTER”, mode for a few seconds, the
water owing into the pool will be cloudy.To avoid having cloudy water running into the pool, use the“RINSE”
setting.
This works as follows: immediately after“BACKWASHING”, stop the pump, turn the valve to“RINSE”and
connect the pump again for one minute, then stop the pump and turn the valve to“FILTER”.
4.6. RECIRCULATION ONLY PERFORMED BY A 6WAY VALVE
With the valve in this position, the water goes directly from the pump to the pool, without passing through
the lter.
4.7. CLOSED
The“CLOSED”position for the selector valve is used to prevent water from circulating through the hoses and
the lter.
5. CABLE REPLACEMENT
If the power cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, your after-sales service en-
gineer or a similarly qualied person in order to avoid hazards.

Installation and General Maintenance Manual -MONOBLOCK FILTER 9
ENGLISH
6. MAINTENANCE
After the bathing season has ended, the lter should be kept in a dry place where it is protected from bad
weather. After performing anal backwashtoclean thesilica sand, dismantle thehoses anddrain thewater
in the lter through the tank drain plug until it is completely empty.
After removing all of the water from the lter, carefully clean the remains of silica sand from the thread
before replacing the plug. Failure to do so could damage the thread.
The lter tank drain plug should only be used in this operation.
VERY IMPORTANT: Following an extended period of inactivity, before starting up the lter check
that the lter is correctly primed.
The unit is designed to work so that practically no maintenance is required. Some consumables or compo-
nents subject to wear and tear may have a shorter service live than the unit’s warranty period.
Contact your service engineer for any maintenance work that may be required.
