4. Поставување и инсталација
Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1. Избор на локација
- Place the filter on a firm, level surface, preferably concrete, to prevent settling.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
- Allow sufficient space around the filter for maintenance and service.
4.2. Filling with Filter Media (Sand)
- Ensure the internal standpipe and laterals are properly assembled and secured.
- Place a plastic bag or cover over the standpipe opening to prevent sand from entering.
- Carefully pour the recommended amount and grade of filter sand into the tank.
- Remove the plastic bag/cover and ensure no sand has entered the standpipe.
4.3. Multi-port Valve Installation
- Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the filter tank, aligning the standpipe with the valve's opening.
- Прицврстете го вентилот на резервоарот користејќи го приложениот кл.amp or bolts, ensuring a tight seal.
- Connect the plumbing from the pump to the "PUMP" port on the valve.
- Connect the plumbing to the pool return lines to the "RETURN" port on the valve.
- Connect a waste line to the "WASTE" port on the valve, directing water to an appropriate drainage area.
- Инсталирајте го манометарот за притисок во означениот отвор на вентилот.
5. Упатства за работа
The multi-port valve controls the filter's functions. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.
5.1. Multi-port Valve Positions
- ФИЛТЕР: Нормален режим на филтрирање. Водата тече низ песокот, се чисти и се враќа во базенот.
- НАЗАДНО ПЕРЕЊЕ: Cleans the filter sand. Water flows in reverse, flushing trapped debris out the waste line.
- ПИЛАЕ: Used after backwashing to settle the sand and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to FILTER mode.
- WASTE/DRAIN: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly from the pool to the waste line. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
- РЕЦИРУЛИРА: Го заобиколува филтерот, циркулирајќи ја водата директно назад во базенот. Корисно за дистрибуција на хемикалии без филтрирање.
- ЗАТВОРЕНО: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use for servicing the pump or filter.
5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)
- Ensure the pool is filled to the proper level and all plumbing connections are secure.
- Поставете го вентилот со повеќе отвори на НАЗАДНО ПЕРЕЊЕ.
- Вклучете ја пумпата. Обратно мијте 2-3 минути или додека водата во визуалецот (доколку го има) не стане бистра.
- Исклучете ја пумпата.
- Поставете го вентилот со повеќе отвори на ПЛИВАЕ.
- Вклучете ја пумпата. Исплакнете 30-60 секунди.
- Исклучете ја пумпата.
- Поставете го вентилот со повеќе отвори на ФИЛТЕР.
- Turn on the pump. Note the initial pressure gauge reading; this is your clean filter pressure.
6. Одржување
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your filter.
6.1. Backwashing
Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.5-0.7 bar) above the clean filter pressure, or when pool water clarity decreases. Follow the steps outlined in "5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)" for each backwash cycle.
6.2. Зимска подготовка (доколку е применливо)
- Исклучете ја пумпата и исклучете го напојувањето.
- Поставете го вентилот со повеќе отвори на ЗИМУВАЈ (if available) or an intermediate position between two settings to relieve pressure on the gasket.
- Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the filter tank to completely drain all water.
- Disconnect all plumbing lines and store them in a dry, frost-free area.
- Remove the pressure gauge and store it indoors.
- Cover the filter to protect it from elements.
