3. MAINTENANCE AND GUARANTEES.
3.1 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance needs to be carried out on all components of the pool's hydraulic
circuit in order to ensure optimum operation of the installation and thereby prevent
damage to the valve or any other components.
The maintenance operations that may have a direct impact on the operation of the
multiport valve are listed below:
- Be sure to empty and wash the skimmer baskets on a regular basis to keep them clear
of leaves and any other waste. Baskets should be replaced if they are damaged.
- Be sure to empty the basket of the pump pre-fi lter, clearing away leaves and any other
waste. Replace the basket in the event of damage.
- Regulate the suction and return valves by adjusting the valve's pressure switch before
setting the fi lter wash pressure. This operation should be repeated whenever a component
is changed or added to the installation or whenever the regulation setting of the valves
is changed.
3.2 SPECIFIC VALVE MAINTENANCE
The internal elements of the valve require regular maintenance in accordance with the
following
specifi cations:
- Perform all operations with the pump off and with the input and output valves to the
fi lter and the multiport valve closed.
- Remove the actuator as described in point 5.2 of the manual.
- Remove the remaining 3 screws holding the valve cover in place.
- Remove the cover to allow access to the internal distributor.
- Lift the distributor and clean the area around the distributor seal, clearing away any
residue that may hinder rotation.
- At least once a year, grease the O-rings on the distributor shaft to facilitate the
movement of the distributor. The grease used to lubricate the O-rings should be
TURMSILON GL320 NLGI 1-2 (LUBCON). The manufacturer supplies the specifi ed
grease together with the valve. The guarantee will be valid provided that all installation
and maintenance operations are carried out correctly.
3.3 GUARANTEES.
The valves leave the factory in a fully tested condition, which enables us to guarantee
operation. The guarantee will be effective provided that the installation and maintenance
has been correctly carried out and this requires that the actual installation operation be
performed by a person with the necessary qualifi cations for this type of work.
