2. Nga korero haumaru

Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation and operation to prevent injury or damage. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning on the filter system.
• 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).
• Puritia ngā tamariki kia matara atu i te pūnaha tātari i te wā e whakamahia ana.
• 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. Tatūnga me te Tāuta

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

3.1 Te Wetewete me te Tirohanga Waa

Manatokohia kei te noho katoa nga waahanga me te kore e pakaru:

• Filter Tank (250 mm diameter)
• Pump Unit (230V / 200W)
• 7-Way Multi-Port Valve with Pressure Gauge
• Connecting Hoses (32/38 mm diameter)
• Papa Papa
• Clampngā taputapu me ngā hononga

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 Te Huihuinga me te Hononga

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 Te Whakaritenga Pai

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. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

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

• Tātari: This is the standard operating mode for daily filtration. Water is pumped through the filter media, and clean water is returned to the pool.
• RUHI TUARUA: 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.
• Horoi: 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): Bypasses the filter and pumps water directly out of the pool to waste. Useful for lowering pool water level or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
• RECIRCULATE (CIRCULATE): Ka karo i te tātari, ka huri tika te wai ki te puna kaukau. He pai mō te tohatoha matū me te kore e tātari.
• KAtia: 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. Tiaki

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

5.1 Te Horoi Whakamuri me te Horoi

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. Whakawetohia te papu.
2. Tautuhia te takirere ki BACKWASH.
3. Turn on the pump and backwash until the water in the sight glass (if present) runs clear (typically 2-3 minutes).
4. Whakawetohia te papu.
5. Tautuhia te takirere ki te WHAI.
6. Whakakāhia te papu ka horoi mō te 30-60 hēkona.
7. Whakawetohia te papu.
8. Set the valve back to FILTER.
9. Whakakāhia te papu kia tīmata anō te tātari noa.

5.2 Whakakapinga Pāpāho Tātari

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 Te whakatotoke

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.
