A lter sha is required if the pool is parally or enrely installed in the
ground so you can place the pump of the lter system below the pool's
water level.
- Make sure that the lter sha cannot be ooded and that ambient and rainwater can
drain away easily.
You can do so by installing a gravel layer at the boom of the sha. An oponal
immersion pump with a oat switch that is connected to a canal or drain addionally
protects your lter system from rising water inside the sha.
- Ensure sucient natural venlaon of the sha to prevent condensaon.
- Design the size of the lter sha so that you can carry out work on the lter system.

FILTER
- Use this mode as the basic seng of your lter system.
The sucked-in pool water ows into the lter vessel through the top and ows through
the lter medium. Dirt is ltered out in the process and the water is returned to the pool
aerwards.
BACKWASH
Do not backwash when using Steinbach Filter Balls. If the lter throughput decreases,
we recommend washing the lter balls by hand. If necessary, exchange the lter balls.
- Let the pump run in this mode for at most 2 minutes if starng it up for the rst me
or if new quartz lter sand was lled in, or if the manometer shows 0.3 to 0.6 bar
above the normal operang pressure to clean the lter and the quartz lter sand.
The water is guided into the boom part of the lter vessel and ows through the enre
lter. Collected dirt is detached and ushed out via the backwash line.
RINSE
- Let the pump run for 20 to 30 seconds in this mode right aer backwashing, relling
the quartz lter sand or aer inial start-up.
The water is guided into the top part of the lter vessel and the valve head is rinsed. The
water drains via the dirt line. The valve head is cleaned this way.
RECIRCULATE
- Run this mode aer treang the water with chemicals.
The water is guided directly from the valve head to the pool without owing through the
lter. The lter medium does not come into contact with the applied chemicals this way.

hoses are lled with water and might have to be closed o with shut-o valves or plugs.
WASTE
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
- The pool can only be drained up to the minimum water level at
the height of the sucon line. Make sure to switch the pump o
once this level is reached to prevent the pump from running dry.
- Use this mode to clean the pool in the case of heavy soiling.
The water is guided past the lter and discharged directly via the backwash line.
WINTER
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
-Never switch on the pump in this mode!
- Use this mode to store the lter system in the winter.
The valve lever is in an intermediate posion which relieves the inner valve components.
Filtering time
The pool's water content should be turned over at least three to ve mes in 24 hours
depending on the use and the size of the system. The operang me depends on the
output of the lter system and the pool size.
44

Exchanging the filter medium
The applied lter medium (quartz lter sand or Steinbach Filter Balls) should
be exchanged every 2 to 3 years, depending on the operang period and the
