Important instructions

• The use of lter systems for swimming pools

and their protected areas is only permitted if they are designed and constructed in accordance with VDE 0100-49D. It is mandatory to protect the power connection via an residual leakage circuit breaker.

• In order to maintain the required protected area (removal of electronic equipment from

water), the lter system must be positioned

outside the water with a minimum distance of 3 m. (Protected area 2 according to VDE 0100-702.)

• Further safety instructions can be found in the enclosed operating instructions for the pump. These must be observed! (The CE label is also included).

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

1. FILTER SYSTEM – DESCRIPTION

English

The sand lter system you have purchased is a high-quality quality

product. We hope you will enjoy your

swimming pool and the lter system.

We recommend that you read these assembly instructions and the enclosed operating instructions

for the pump carefully. Keep them in a safe place

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF 6-WAY VALVE

The individual functions/positions of the plastic valve are clearly marked on the upper side so that there is no risk of confusion. Please also observe

the drawings and explanations in our Quick Start Guide on page 5.

1.1.1 FI LTER: Filtration (operating state)

In this position, the swimming pool water is pumped through the lter tank and quartz sand and then back to the pool. The dirt is ltered out via the quartz sand.

1.1.2 Closed:

Servicing

All functions are disabled in this position. The

circulation pump must not be switched on. This

position is used when maintenance works are carried out in the lter tank.

1.1.3 Backwash: CLEANING THE Filter system

In this position, the swimming pool water is pumped through the lter in the opposite direction (from bottom to top) to clean it. The waste water is drained sideways out of the

valve (hose outlet = waste).

and familiarize yourself with the special features and possible uses of this system. The lter system ensures a mechanical treatment of swimming pool water. However, an impeccable water quality can only be guaranteed if the water is treated chemically in addition (see information on reverse side).

1.1.4 Recirculate:

Circulate without ltration (increased circulation)

In this position, the swimming pool water ows right into the swimming pool, the lter tank is bypassed. This setting is used after adding pool chemicals (e.g. after a shock chlorinati-

on).

1.1.5 RINSE: Filtration into the sewer

In this position, the lines of the lter system are cleaned from residual dirt after backwashing.

1.1.6 Waste: Emptying/Sewer

In this position, the swimming pool water is

pumped directly into the sewer (valve outlet ‚Waste‘).

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF CIRCULATION PUMP

The circulation pump is used to pump the water from the swimming pool through the lter tank and back into

the swimming pool (see also enclosed separate pump manual).

1.2.2 SHAFT SEAL

The pump is equipped with a mechanical seal between the pump housing and the motor to seal the

motor shaft. This seal is a wearing part/no warranty (see pump 4.2.3).

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF FILTER TANK

English

The lter tank is used to mechanically remove suspended particles such as hair, skin akes, pollen and other impurities from the swimming pool water by means of a special quartz sand for swimming pools (0.4 - 0.8 mm or other lter medium, e.g. lter glass or lter balls). This is done at a pressure of

0.4 - 0.8 bar. When the pressure increases (loud pumping noise) the lter must be backwashed (see section 2.4). This is by no means a defect of the pump, it is a normal process, as the pump has to work against a higher resistance if the lter tank/

lter sand is too dirty. To measure the lter pressure in the tank, there is an optional pressure gauge (item no.: 2600020) available (not included in delivery), which is xed at the top of the valve (bleeder

screw). The pressure gauge allows you to read

the lter pressure at any time and thus determine whether a backwashing is required. If you do not have or use a pressure gauge, we recommend backwashing once a week.

English

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

2. INSTALLATION OF SAND FILTER SYSTEM

Step 1:

The following tools are required for this: Phillips screwdriver, Teon tape, 7 mm wrench, possibly drill, possibly cordless screwdriver, rubber hammer.

Step 2: Insert the drain valve into the pre-drilled hole on the

lter tank, i.e. from the inside to the outside. While doing so, please mount a rubber seal each from the inside and from the outside and then x the drain valve with the lock nut from the outside.

Step 3: (Instructions for model with riser pipe 1) At rst, screw only 2 of the lter cartridges into the

riser pipe.

Step 4: (Instructions for model with riser pipe 1) The other lter cartridges are inserted in the tank, as otherwise the assembled riser pipe would not t through the tank opening.

Step 5: (Instructions for model with riser pipe 2) If you use our alternative tank with xed (glued) lter basket, it is simply inserted into the lter tank.

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

Step 6:

Before lling the quartz sand in, close the top of the riser pipe with a plastic bag to prevent sand from

entering the riser pipe.

Step 7:

Please select the correct quartz sand grain size (0.4

- 0.8 mm) for your lter system, as otherwise there may be problems during the lter operation.

Step 8:

Carefully ll the correct amount of quartz sand (see table) in from the top into the lter tank, and ensure

that the riser pipe remains in the correct central

position. About two-thirds of the lter tank should be lled with quartz sand.

English

Step 9:

Next place the O-ring on the valve from below.

Step 10:

Please ensure that the clamping ring and the screws

are mounted/assembled correctly, i.e. in the right

direction. You can see the correct way on the photo:

The nut of the screw also grips into the groove of

the clamping ring to hold the nut in place.

English

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

Step 11:

If necessary, loosen the clamping ring carefully

using a rubber hammer to achieve a better sealing

and a uniform tensioning of the clamping ring.

Step 12: Only with 2260140 and 2260148 pump

Insert the rubber hose tting (only included with 2260140 and 2260148 pump) into the connecting

hose and insert in on the upper pump connection

(as far as possible). Then x it rmly with a hose

clip.

Step 13:

Fasten the hose to the middle hose connection

(labeled ‚Pump‘) on the top of the valve.

Step 14:

Fix the lter pump on the lter pallet using the self-tapping screws.

Step 15:

If the hose connections do not seal well, you can use Teon tape for additional sealing. To do this, wrap at least 15 times.

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

Step 16:

The hose is attached to the suction side of the pump, which runs to the swimming pool skimmer.

Step 17:

The return hose to the inlet nozzle is connected to the ‚Return‘ hose connection via the valve.

Step 18:

On the right-hand side of the valve, you can nd the hose connection for backwashing (dirty water into

the drains). This is labeled ‚Waste‘.

English

2.3 FILLING WATER IN - COMMISSIONING THE FILTER

2.3.1 INSTALLATION WITH BUILT-IN SKIMMER

After the swimming pool has been lled with water up to at least the middle of the surface skimmer, the water automatically runs into the pump. If necessary, we recommend the installation of a gate valve in addition. It can be used to interrupt the water ow of the lter

system.

2.3.2 SYSTEM WITH SUSPENSION SKIMMER

Before the suction hose is connected to the skimmer, it must rst be completely lled with

water.

2.3.3 FRAME POOL OR QUICK UP POOL

Please connect the suction hose and also the

return hose to the two hose ttings of the pool. We recommend to install a suitable skimmer offered by the pool manufacturer in addition.

This is usually connected with a separate

hose from the inside of the pool.

In no case should the 2 hoses simply hang

into the water and the lter system be installed

without a skimmer. This can and will not work and there is a risk of irreparable damage to the

lter system/pump.

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

English

2.4 RINSING THE QUARTZ SAND (BEFORE COMMISSIONING)

Set the hand lever of the 6-way valve to the RINSE position, switch the lter system on electrically. In case of very long suction lines, it can take up to 2-3

minutes until the swimming pool water is pumped.

After water starts to be pumped, drain the water into the sewage system for about 1 minute to prevent an abrasion of quartz sand from entering the swimming

pool via the inlet nozzle. Then set the valve to “Rinse” for 30 seconds (see also section 3.2).

Warning! Please operate the 6-way

valve only when the lter pump is

switched off. Otherwise there is a danger of destroying the 6-way valve!

2.5 FILTER – OPERATION

Set the hand lever of the 6-way valve to FILTER. The quartz sand lter for a mechanical water treatment of your swimming pool is now ready for operation. Switch the lter system on.

2.6 SETTING THE FILTRATION TIME

The operating time of the quartz sand lter depends on swimming pool size (water volume), bather load,

weather and the used chemicals.

Example: It is recommended to recirculate the pool volume 1 to 1.5 times in 24 hours.

If a pool volume of 10 m³ is circulated 1.5 times, a total of 15 m³ must be circulated. If the pump has an output of 6 m³ per hour, the operating time of the lter is approx. 2.5 hours. To achieve an optimal mechanical cleaning, the lter should be running

without interruption during this time.

Attention: On hot days, the lter time must be increased to ensure a sufcient disinfection.

(Example: 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the

afternoon.) The lter system must also be switched on on rainy days, as organic impurities get into the swimming pool via the rainwater, which promotes algae growth!

2.7 CONNECTING THE SAND FILTER

SYSTEM TO THE POOL

A connecting hose to the skimmer of your pool

(where the dirty water is drawn in) is laid on the suc-

tion side of the pump (horizontal hose connection). The cleaned water is fed back into the pool via a connecting hose between the valve of your lter system (the valve has 3 black hose adapters which are labeled as follows: Return, Waste and Pump) and

the hose adapter labeled ‘Return’.

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

3. REGULAR BACKWASHING

Clean the lter (backwashing) once a week.

To be able to determine when to carry out a lter cleaning (BACKWAHING), we recommend to use a

pressure gauge. Systems with pressure gauge allow

reading the pressure off the gauge. If the pressure increases by 0.3 bar (max. 0.6 bar), a backwashing must be carried out. A weekly backwashing of the lter is recommended, even if this value is not reached. This ensures that the lter sand remains loose and does not stick together. Pressure gauges for our lter system are available separately (article no.: 2600020). Please contact your dealer, if required.

Attention: Rell the missing water

level in the pool with fresh water after backwashing!

3.1 BACKWASHING

Set the 6-way valve to BACKWASH. Switch the lter system on. When the pumped water is clean, the backwashing process is completed,

which should take 3 minutes at the most. Set the 6-way valve to FILTER or RINSE (switch the

power supply off rst).

3.2 RINSE

The 6-way valve optionally also allows draining

parts of the residual dirt after backwashing into the sewer system instead of the swimming pool.

4. MAINTENANCE WORKS

4.1 MAINTENANCE OF FILTER TANK

The gate valves must be closed during mainte-

nance works and be reopened after completion of these works.

The ll level and condition of the quartz sand must be checked once a year. The sand must ow loosely through the hand! If lumps are formed, the quartz

sand must be replaced completely. See Section 2.2 ‘Filling’.

4.2 MAINTENANCE OF CIRCULATION PUMP

Switch the pump off, set the 6-way valve to CLOSED. Observe point 1.1.2! In the winter, empty the pump completely and store it in a frost-free place; turn the motor shaft occasionally to prevent the shaft from becoming encrusted by limescale

deposits.

4.2.1 MOUNTINGS

The two engine mounts are self-lubricating and do not require maintenance.

4.2.2 SHAFT SEAL

The shaft is equipped with a mechanical seal which may leak after prolonged operation. We

recommend purchasing a new pump when this happens.

4.2.3 MOTOR

No special maintenance required.

English

To do this, set the 6-way valve to RINSE. Switch the lter system on for a maximum of 30 seconds, then

reset the 6-way valve to FILTER.

4.2.5 MAINTENANCE OF 6-WAY VALVE

This valve is maintenance-free. It is important, however, that the pump is always rst switched off before changing the position.

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

English

4.3 GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• The swimming pool must be maintained and

serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

• The skimmer strainer in the surface skimmer

must be cleaned regularly at short intervals.

• It is important to ensure that the water level in the

pool never falls below the middle of the skimmer at least (minimum lling level).

5. TAKING OUT OF OPERATION

• The swimming pool must be winterized in accord-

ance with the relevant instructions of the pool manufacturer.

• The lter system must be winterized if there is a

risk of frost. The following should be observed: Drain the water from the lter tank through the drain plug at the bottom of the lter tank.

• The pipes from and to the swimming pool must

be emptied completely.

• Switch off the power supply (set to 0), unplug the

earthed plug (Schuko).

• Remove the quartz sand from the lter tank and

store the entire lter system in a frost-protected

area (e.g. in the basement). Do not push or

transport the lled tank, otherwise there is a risk of breakage.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 PUMP DOES NOT DRAW IN WATER

AUTOMATICALLY OR THE PRIMING TAKES VERY LONG

1. Check the suction line for leaks, as air is drawn in if the line is leaking.

2. Check the water level in the pool. If the water level in the skimmer is too low, the pump also

draws in air. Fill water in (increase water level) up

to the middle of the skimmer port.

3. Check whether the skimmer ap can be moved easily and does no jam. Otherwise, the pump pri-

ming will be poor or the water column will always

break down. This can damage the pump.

4. Check whether the strainer basket in the skimmer is clean, if necessary clean the strainer basket.

5. Check whether the gate valves in the suction and

pressures pipes are open.

6.2 INSUFFICIENT PERFORMANCE OF

CIRCULATION PUMP

1. Filter is dirty; it must be backwashed.

2. Gate valves in the system are not fully open.

3. Skimmer basket in skimmer dirty? Cleaning required.

4. Suction line leaking, pump draws air in.

Assembly and Operating Instructions Sand Filter System without Pre-lter

6.3 CIRCULATION PUMP IS TOO NOISY

1. Filter is dirty; it must be backwashed.

2. Remove foreign particles from the pump, unscrew pump housing, clean housing and impeller.

3. Motor bearings are too noisy, replace the entire motor complete with impeller.

4. The pump is standing on a bare wood oor or concrete oor, resulting in a sound transmission

to the building (structure-borne sound). Place the

pump on a noise-damping insulating base (rubber, cork, etc.).

6.4 CIRCULATION PUMP

DOES NOT START AUTOMATICALLY

1. Check whether the power line is live.

2. Check if the fuse is defective.

3. For AC pumps, check whether the capacitor is in

proper working order.

4. Check that the motor is in proper working order; have the winding checked by an electrician.

5. Check whether the pump has got stuck (motor shaft can be turned easily with a screwdriver, otherwise see 6.4). Attention: Carry out only after the mains plug has been disconnected! Risk of injury! Check whether the motor-protective circuit-breaker has been tripped; if so see point 6.2.

6.5 WATER DRIPPING FROM CIRCULATI-

ON PUMP BETWEEN PUMP HOUSING AND MOTOR

1. During commissioning, it is possible that water escapes in drops at intervals of approx. 2 minutes. After a few hours of operation, when the seal has run in, the dripping stops automatically.

2. If water is constantly leaking from this point, the mechanical seal is defective.

6.6 QUARTZ SAND IS FLUSHED OUT OF THE FILTER INTO THE POOL

1. Incorrect grain size (too ne). Special quartz

sand granulation 0.4 - 0.8 mm required.

2. Filter base in lter container damaged - replace

lter base.

3. 6-way valve damaged or dirty - replace/clean.

6.7 FILTER PRESSURE AT THE PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT DROP BACK TO INITIAL PRESSURE AFTER BACKWASHING, OR INITIAL PRESSURE IS TOO HIGH

1. Pressure gauge defective - replace.

2. Quartz sand hardened and/or clumped - lter sand

must be replaced.

3. Suction or pressure line too small or valve closed.

6.8 WATER IS NOT CLEAR

1. Insufcient disinfection (chlorination), which cau-

ses an overload of the lter; check and adjust chlorine and pH value in respect of specied

values.

2. Filter is too small.

3. Circulation time is too short.

4. If necessary, use occulant for quartz sand lters.

5. Insufcient lter backwashing operations cause

short lter run times.

6.9 SWIMMING POOL LOSES WATER VIA

THE FILTER SYSTEM

1. Gaskets in 6-way valve damaged - replace.

2. Feed pipe from swimming pool is leaking.

The sand lter system alone cannot ensure and provide clear swimming pool water. The sand lter retains smallest dirt particles and removes

them from the water circulation during backwashing. An additional treatment of the water plus disinfection, e.g. based on chlorine or oxygen, is always required. For further information about water treatment, see here:
