4. Configuració
4.1 Col·locació
Position the pump on a firm, level surface near your pool, ensuring it is protected from direct sunlight and adverse weather conditions. The pump should be placed below the water level of the pool for optimal self-priming performance, or as close as possible to the water source.
4.2 Connexions
Connect the pool hoses to the pump's inlet and outlet ports. The pump supports hose connections with a diameter of 32/38 mm. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks and maintain proper suction.

For electrical connection, plug the pump into a standard 230V power outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety.
4.3 Cebament de la bomba
Although the SPS 75-1T is a self-priming pump, it is recommended to fill the pre-filter housing with water before the first start-up or after prolonged periods of inactivity. This assists in faster priming and protects the pump from dry running.
- Ensure the pump is disconnected from power.
- Unscrew the transparent lid of the pre-filter housing.
- Fill the housing completely with water.
- Securely re-attach the lid, ensuring the O-ring is properly seated to prevent air leaks.
- Connect the pump to power and switch it on. The pump should begin to draw water and expel air.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Engegada/apagada
To turn the pump on, press the ON/OFF button on the control panel. To turn it off, press the same button again. Always ensure the pump is fully primed before starting.
5.2 Funció de temporitzador
The integrated timer allows you to program the pump's operating hours. Refer to the markings on the control panel (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24 hours) to set the desired duration. Press the TEMPORIZADOR button to cycle through the available settings. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate to show the selected operating time.
For optimal pool water circulation and filtration, it is generally recommended to operate the pump for at least 8-12 hours per day, depending on pool size, usage, and environmental conditions.
6. Manteniment
6.1 Cleaning the Pre-filter Basket
Regularly inspect and clean the pre-filter basket to ensure optimal pump performance and prevent clogging. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of debris in your pool water.
- Desconnecteu la bomba de la font d'alimentació.
- Tanqueu totes les vàlvules necessàries per evitar que l'aigua surti de la piscina.
- Unscrew the transparent lid of the pre-filter housing (refer to Figure 4.3).
- Remove the pre-filter basket.
- Rinse the basket thoroughly with water to remove all debris.
- Inspect the O-ring on the lid for any damage and ensure it is clean.
- Place the clean basket back into the housing and securely re-attach the lid.
- Re-open valves and reconnect power.
6.2 Winterization and Storage
Before the first frost, or if the pump will not be used for an extended period, it must be properly winterized to prevent damage.
- Desconnecteu la bomba de l'alimentació.
- Drain all water from the pump by opening the drain plug (if available) or by tilting the pump.
