4. Configurazione e installazione

Follow these steps for proper installation of your filter pump:

1. Posizionamento: Position the pump on a stable, level surface near the pool, ensuring it is below the water level for optimal self-priming. Maintain adequate ventilation around the pump.
2. Collegamenti dei tubi:
   • Connect the hose from your pool's skimmer or main drain to the pump's inlet connection (usually on the side with the pre-filter). Secure with hose clamps.
   • Connect a hose from the pump's outlet connection to your sand filter's inlet. Secure with hose clamps.
   • Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano ben serrati per evitare perdite d'aria che potrebbero compromettere le prestazioni della pompa.
3. Adescamento della pompa:
   • Before starting, ensure the pre-filter housing is filled with water. If not, unscrew the clear lid, fill the housing with water, and replace the lid securely.
   • Open all necessary valves to allow water flow from the pool to the pump.
4. Collegamento elettrico: Connect the pump's power plug to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

Once installed and primed, operating the pump is straightforward:

1. Avvio della pompa: Plug in the pump. The pump will begin to draw water and circulate it through your filtration system.
2. Monitoraggio delle prestazioni:
   • Observe the water flow. A strong, consistent flow indicates proper operation.
   • Check the pressure gauge on your sand filter (if applicable). An increasing pressure indicates that the filter needs backwashing.
3. Durata: The recommended daily run time for your pump depends on pool size, usage, and environmental factors. Generally, circulate your pool water for 8-12 hours per day to maintain clarity.
4. Arresto della pompa: Per spegnere la pompa, è sufficiente staccarla dalla presa di corrente.

6. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata della pompa.

6.1. Cleaning the Pre-filter Basket

The pre-filter basket should be checked and cleaned regularly, especially if you notice reduced water flow or increased noise from the pump.

1. Scollegare l'alimentazione: Prima di pulire la pompa, scollegarla sempre.
2. Chiudere le valvole: Close any valves leading to and from the pump to prevent water loss.
3. Rimuovere il coperchio: Unscrew the clear lid of the pre-filter housing.
4. Rimuovi carrello: Sollevare con cautela il cestello del prefiltro.
5. Cestino pulito: Rinse the basket thoroughly with a garden hose to remove all debris.
6. Ispezionare l'O-ring: Check the O-ring on the lid for cracks or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure a watertight seal.
7. Rimontare: Place the clean basket back into the housing, ensure the O-ring is properly seated, and screw the lid back on tightly.
8. Ripristino: If necessary, re-prime the pump as described in the Setup section.
