Nga Tohutohu Haumaru

Kia mau tonu nga whakaritenga haumaru e whai ake nei hei aukati i te whara, i te kino ranei:

• Me whakarite kia rite te toha hiko ki nga whakaritenga o te tapanga hua.
• Momotuhia te taputapu hiko i mua i te mahi tiaki, horoi ranei.
• Kaua e whakahaeretia te papu ki te pakaru te taura hiko, te mono ranei.
• Tiakina nga tamariki me nga tangata kore mana i te punaha tātari i te wa e mahi ana.
• Install the filter system on a stable, level surface, protected from direct sunlight and rain.
• Do not run the pump dry. Ensure it is always filled with water during operation.
• Maximum water temperature for operation is 35°C (95°F).
• Suitable for saltwater up to a salt content of 5 g/l.

Tatūnga

Follow these steps for initial setup of your filter system:

1. Wewete Waenga: Tangohia marietia ngā wāhanga katoa i te takai. Tirohia mēnā kei roto ngā wāhanga katoa e ai ki te rārangi takai.
2. Position the System: Place the filter system on a firm, level surface near your pool, ensuring it is protected from direct weather exposure.
3. Install Filter Balls: Open the filter tank and carefully pour the approximately 300g of filter balls into the tank. Ensure the central pipe is correctly positioned before closing the tank.
4. Connect Pump to Filter Tank: Attach the pump unit to the filter tank using the provided connections. Ensure all seals are properly seated and connections are tightened to prevent leaks. It is recommended to use PTFE tape on threaded connections for a secure seal.
5. Connect to Pool: Connect the pool hoses to the filter system's inlet and outlet ports. The inlet hose typically connects from the pool skimmer/main drain to the pump's suction side, and the outlet hose connects from the filter's return side back to the pool.
6. Whakakiia ki te wai: Before starting the pump, ensure the pool is filled with water and the filter system is primed by allowing water to flow into the pump and filter tank.
7. Hononga Hiko: Connect the power plug to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety.

Operating the 7-Way Valve

The 7-way valve controls the flow of water through the filter system. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

• Tātari: This is the standard operating position for daily filtration. Water flows from the pool, through the filter balls, and back to the pool.
• RUHI TUARUA: Used for cleaning the filter balls. Water flows in reverse through the filter, dislodging trapped debris, and is then directed to waste. Perform backwash when the pressure gauge indicates higher than normal pressure or when water flow decreases.
• Horoi: Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining debris from the filter and settle the filter balls. Water flows through the filter and is directed to waste.
• PARAU: Bypasses the filter and sends water directly from the pool to waste. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering the pool water level.
• WHAKATAHI: Circulates water through the pump and back to the pool without passing through the filter. Useful for distributing chemicals quickly.
• KAtia: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Use this position only when the pump is off and for maintenance or when the pool is not in use.
• WHITIRANGI: (If applicable) Position for draining the system for winter storage. Consult specific winterization instructions.

Te tiaki

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your filter system.

• Horoi whakamuri: Perform backwashing regularly, typically once a week or when the pressure gauge reading increases by 0.2-0.3 bar (3-5 psi) above its clean operating pressure.
  1. Whakawetohia te papu.
  2. Whakatakotoria te takirere ara-7 ki te "BACKWASH".
  3. Whakakāhia te papu, ka whakahaere kia mārama ra ano te wai i roto i te karāhe tirotiro (mēnā kei roto) (tata ki te 2-3 meneti).
  4. Whakawetohia te papu.
  5. Tautuhia te takirere ara-7 ki te "RINSE".
  6. Whakakāhia te papu ka whakahaere mō te 30-60 hēkona.
  7. Whakawetohia te papu.
  8. Set the 7-way valve back to "FILTER".
  9. Whakakāhia te papu kia tīmata anō te tātari noa.
• Cleaning Filter Balls: The filter balls can be cleaned manually or in a washing machine (in a laundry bag) at 30°C (86°F) without fabric softener. Replace filter balls when they show signs of significant wear or reduced filtration efficiency.
• Whakapai Kete Puma: Periodically check and clean the pump's pre-filter basket (if applicable) to remove large debris that could obstruct flow.
• Te takurua: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump, filter tank, and hoses. Store the pump and valve in a dry, frost-free location.
