4. Instruccions de funcionament

The SX925 sand filter pump features a user-friendly control panel and a multi-port valve for various operational modes.

4.1 Control Panel and Timer

The pump is equipped with a built-in 24-hour timer, allowing you to set pre-programmed cycles from 2 to 12 hours for automatic operation. This feature simplifies daily pool maintenance.

Figure 4.1: Control Panel and Timer. This image highlights the digital display and buttons on the pump's control panel, used for setting the timer and managing pump functions.

4.2 Multi-Port Valve Functions

The multi-port valve allows you to select different modes of operation for your sand filter system:

• Filtre: For normal filtering of pool water. Water flows through the sand bed, trapping debris.
• Rentat a contracor: For cleaning the sand filter. Water flows in reverse through the sand bed, dislodging trapped debris and sending it to waste.
• Esbandida: Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush out any remaining dirty water before returning to filter mode.
• Waste/Drain: For bypassing the filter and directly draining water from the pool, useful for lowering water levels or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
• Recirculate: For circulating pool water without filtering, useful for distributing chemicals.
• Tancat: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Use only when the pump is off.

4.3 Hydro Aeration Technology

The integrated Hydro Aeration Technology enhances water quality by injecting air into the water. This process leads to:

• Improved Circulation and Filtration: Air bubbles accelerate water circulation, causing fine particles to clump together, making them easier to filter.
• Improved Water Clarity: Aeration oxidizes iron and manganese, removing them from the water and improving clarity.
• Increased Freshness: More negative ions are generated, improving overall air quality around the pool.

5. Manteniment i cura

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim de la bomba de filtre de sorra.

5.1 Backwashing the Filter

Backwashing is crucial for cleaning the sand filter. Perform backwashing when the pressure gauge reading increases by 3-5 PSI above the clean filter operating pressure, or when water flow significantly decreases.

1. Apagueu la bomba.
2. Rotate the multi-port valve handle to the "BACKWASH" position.
3. Turn on the pump and run until the water in the sight glass (if available) runs clear (typically 2-3 minutes).
4. Apagueu la bomba.
5. Rotate the multi-port valve handle to the "RINSE" position.
6. Engegueu la bomba i deixeu-la funcionar durant 30-60 segons.
7. Apagueu la bomba.
8. Rotate the multi-port valve handle back to the "FILTER" position.
9. Turn on the pump for normal operation.

5.2 Sand Replacement

Filter sand typically needs to be replaced every 5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for the sand replacement procedure.
