Filer maintenance
Access the filter system by opening the hatch.
The filter needs to be cleaned about every month. When the pressure approaches the red area it is time to clean.
1. Start by turning off the filter pump.
2. Mount the excess pipe.
2.1 The drain needs to be opened, just pull the cover off (2 hands, mind your bag).
2.2 Take the drain pipe and mount it.
2.3 Open the blue valve.
3. Switch the filter to position 2 - backwash. It will reverse the flow in the filter and dump the debris into the drain-pipe.
Turn on the pump and let it stay in that position for 1-2 minutes.
4. Turn off the pump and switch to position 3 - rinse. It will use the normal flow in the filter but dump any debris in the other end of the filter to the drain.
Turn on the pump for 10-20 seconds.
5. Turn off the pump and switch the filter back to normal - position 1 - filter.
6. Top up the water level by opening the water tab valve until the water is in the middle of the pool outlet.
7. Disconnect the drain-pipe and close the drain cover.
