4. Opsætning og installation
Følg disse trin for korrekt installation af din filterpumpe:
- Placering: 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.
- Slangeforbindelser:
- 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.
- Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks, which can affect pump performance.
- Spædning af pumpen:
- 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.
- Elektrisk tilslutning: 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. Betjeningsvejledning
Once installed and primed, operating the pump is straightforward:
- Start af pumpen: Plug in the pump. The pump will begin to draw water and circulate it through your filtration system.
- Overvågning af ydeevne:
- 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.
- Køretid: 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.
- Stop af pumpen: To turn off the pump, simply unplug it from the power outlet.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer optimal ydeevne og forlænger pumpens levetid.
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.
- Afbryd strømmen: Tag altid stikket ud af pumpen før rengøring.
- Luk ventiler: Close any valves leading to and from the pump to prevent water loss.
- Fjern låget: Unscrew the clear lid of the pre-filter housing.
- Fjern kurv: Løft forsigtigt forfilterkurven ud.
- Rengør kurv: Rinse the basket thoroughly with a garden hose to remove all debris.
- Inspicer O-ringen: Check the O-ring on the lid for cracks or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure a watertight seal.
- Saml igen: Place the clean basket back into the housing, ensure the O-ring is properly seated, and screw the lid back on tightly.
- Genpriming: If necessary, re-prime the pump as described in the Setup section.

6.2. Vinterklargøring
Before freezing temperatures arrive, properly winterize your pump to prevent damage:
- Afbryd strømmen til pumpen.
- Drain all water from the pump by removing the drain plug (if present) and disconnecting hoses.
- Opbevar pumpen et tørt og frostfrit sted.
