3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Filter installation.

Filters are delivered properly packed and ready in order to
facilate unloading and transport using fork-lift truck, crane (*),
etc. It is very important to make sure that the filters have not
suffered bumps during transport.
To obtain a correct filter installation, the following stages must
be observed:
•
Install filters in their final location.
•
Install correctly the valves battery (ies) in the filters.
•
Install battery supports and regulate them correctly
(height, ect.).
•
Connect batteries with the delivery pipe of the pumps, return
pipes and drain.
•
Check the inner parts of each filter (nozzles, collectors, top
diffusers).
•
FilI the filters with water.
•
Empty half the water and add the filtration element
(gravel, sand, VITRAFIL and/or anthracite), etc
(*) IMPORTANT: To avoid the risk of the unit´s breaking
and causing an accident, never use the bridge on the
cover as an attachment point when lifting with a crane.
We always use stainless steel rings for this purpose.

3.1.1. Filters location.

It is acceptable to place the filters under the water level.
However if vacuum occurs in the installation, suction cups
must be installed in the lids to avoid that depression could
collapse the filter's tanks.
Filters must be situated so that their bases are perfectly level
and completely supported by the floor. (Figure 3).
The location must be of appropiate size to allow

maintenance periodic overhauls and any other work, Figure 4.
Additionally the room must provide a drain to allow, in case of
accident, evacuation of water flowing from any tube, filter,
pump, etc. This will avoid risk of damages in the electrical

installations (pumps, electric panels, etc.).

3.1.2. Setting up the valve battery.

The valve battery is supplied dismantled and comprises five

(optional) and the necessary connectors. The filters are
connected by slip on PVC flanges, (Figure 5).

Check that filters are situated in the suitable distance from
batteries and that they lined-up.
Then you can start placing the battery, connecting the joints
to the flanges.This must be done avoiding forcing flanges and
unions. Check that the outlets have not been damaged and
that they are completely clean.
For union by flange, tighten proportionally each screw,
avoiding that one could be tighter than another, as this could
damage or even break the flanges when the filter is under
pressure.

3.1.3. Manometers.

In pools filters, the usual pressures when the filter is clean are:
Inlet pressure: 0,8 -1 kg/cm².
Outlet pressure: 0.4 -0,6 kg/cm².
