2. Consignes de sécurité

Veuillez lire attentivement toutes les consignes de sécurité avant l'installation et l'utilisation afin d'éviter toute blessure ou tout dommage. Conservez ce manuel pour toute consultation ultérieure.

• Débranchez toujours l'alimentation électrique avant d'effectuer toute opération de maintenance ou de nettoyage du système de filtration.
• Ensure the electrical outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for safety.
• Do not operate the pump if the water temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F).
• Tenir les enfants éloignés du système de filtration pendant son fonctionnement.
• Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free to prevent water damage or electrical hazards.
• The pump is not self-priming; ensure it is filled with water before starting.

3. Configuration et installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your filtration system. Follow these steps carefully:

3.1 Déballage et vérification des composants

Vérifiez que tous les composants sont présents et non endommagés :

• Filter Tank (250 mm diameter)
• Pump Unit (230V / 200W)
• 7-Way Multi-Port Valve with Pressure Gauge
• Connecting Hoses (32/38 mm diameter)
• Base Plate
• Clamps and Fittings

3.2 Filter Media Preparation

The system requires approximately 10 kg of filter sand with a granule size of 0.7 - 1.2 mm, or compatible filter balls. Refer to the specific instructions for filling the filter tank with your chosen media.

3.3 Assemblage et connexion

1. Place the base plate on a firm, level surface near your pool.
2. Mount the filter tank and pump securely onto the base plate.
3. Connect the pump to the filter tank and the multi-port valve using the provided hoses and fittings. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4. Connect the system to your pool's skimmer and return lines using 32/38 mm hoses.

3.4 Placement optimal

For gravity-fed operation, the water level in the pool should be above the sand filter. Avoid situations where the water level is below the filter, as this can hinder proper flow and operation.

4. Mode d'emploi

The 7-way multi-port valve allows for different operational modes. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

• FILTRE: This is the standard operating mode for daily filtration. Water is pumped through the filter media, and clean water is returned to the pool.
• REMOUS: Used to clean the filter media. Water flows in reverse through the filter, dislodging trapped debris, which is then discharged to waste. Perform when pressure gauge indicates high pressure.
• RINCER: Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining debris from the filter media and lines before returning to FILTER mode. Water is discharged to waste.
• WASTE (EMPTY): Contourne le filtre et évacue l'eau directement de la piscine vers l'évacuation. Utile pour abaisser le niveau d'eau ou aspirer les gros débris directement vers l'évacuation.
• RECIRCULER (CIRCULER) : Il contourne le filtre et renvoie l'eau directement dans la piscine. Utile pour la distribution de produits chimiques sans filtration.
• FERMÉ: Closes all flow to the filter. Use only when the pump is off and for maintenance tasks that require isolating the filter.

To start operation, ensure the valve is set to FILTER, then turn on the pump. Monitor the pressure gauge for normal operating pressure.

5. Entretien

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Steinbach filtration system.

5.1 Lavage à contre-courant et rinçage

Perform backwashing when the pressure gauge reading is 0.2-0.3 bar (3-5 psi) above the clean filter pressure, or when water flow to the pool decreases significantly. Follow with a rinse cycle.

1. Éteignez la pompe.
2. Réglez la vanne sur BACKWASH.
3. Turn on the pump and backwash until the water in the sight glass (if present) runs clear (typically 2-3 minutes).
4. Éteignez la pompe.
5. Réglez la vanne sur RINCER.
6. Mettez la pompe en marche et rincez pendant 30 à 60 secondes.
7. Éteignez la pompe.
8. Set the valve back to FILTER.
9. Mettez la pompe en marche pour reprendre la filtration normale.

5.2 Filter Media Replacement

Filter sand typically needs replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Filter balls may require periodic cleaning or replacement as per their specific instructions.

5.3 Hivérisation

Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump, filter tank, and hoses. Store the pump and valve in a dry, frost-free location. Cover the filter tank if it remains outdoors.
