Configuració
Follow these steps for proper assembly and connection of your filter system:
- Col·locació: Position the filter system on a firm, level surface near your pool. Ensure it is protected from rain and direct sunlight.
- Fill Filter Tank: Open the filter tank and fill it with the appropriate filter medium. The Classic 400 system can use either filter sand or Steinbach Filter Balls. Refer to the filter medium manufacturer's instructions for the correct quantity.
- Attach 7-Way Valve: Securely attach the 7-way valve to the top of the filter tank. Ensure the O-ring is correctly seated to prevent leaks. Tighten the clamp fermament.
- Connecteu la bomba: Connect the pump to the filter tank using the provided hose. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Connect to Pool: Connect the filter system to your pool's inlet and outlet ports using Ø 32/38 mm hoses. The "INLET" port on the pump connects to the pool's skimmer/suction line, and the "RETURN" port on the 7-way valve connects to the pool's return line. Use hose clamps to secure all connections.
- Encebar la bomba: Before starting, ensure the pump is filled with water to prevent dry running. This is a self-priming pump, but initial priming helps.
- Connexió elèctrica: Connect the pump to a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V~ / 50Hz). Ensure the power supply is suitable for the pump's maximum power of 450 W.

Instruccions de funcionament
The 7-way valve allows for various operating modes. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.
| Posició | Descripció |
|---|---|
| Filtre | Normal filtering mode. Water passes through the filter medium to remove impurities. |
| Rentat a contracors | Cleans the filter medium by reversing water flow. Directs dirty water to waste. Perform when pressure gauge reads high. |
| Esbandida | Used after backwashing to settle the filter medium and flush remaining dirty water to waste. |
| Circular | Bypasses the filter medium, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution. |
| Buit | Drains water directly from the pool to waste, bypassing the filter. |
| Configuració d'hivern | Used for winterizing the system. Relieves pressure on the valve's internal components. |
| Tancat | Shuts off all flow through the valve. Do not operate the pump in this position. |
The filter system is designed for continuous operation within specified parameters. It is suitable for saltwater pools with a salt content up to 0.5 g/m³ and can handle water temperatures up to 35°C (95°F).
Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your filter system.
- Rentat a contracorrent: Perform backwashing when the pressure gauge reading is 0.2-0.3 bar (3-5 psi) above the clean filter reading, or when water clarity decreases. Follow with a rinse cycle.
- Neteja del prefiltre: Regularly check and clean the pre-filter basket located in the pump. Turn off the pump, open the pre-filter lid, remove and clean the basket, then reassemble.
- Filter Medium Replacement: Filter sand typically needs replacement every 3-5 years, while Filter Balls may require cleaning or replacement more frequently depending on usage. Consult your filter medium's instructions.
- Hivernització: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the filter system, pump, and hoses. Store the pump and valve in a dry, frost-free location.
