S I G N A T U R E 5. Characteristics and design standards The tank thickness and resistance were calculated in accordance with the BS-4994 regulation. The filter operation standard was based on the NSF for a maximum working pressure of 2.5 bars.The filter was only designed for use in pools with a maximum temperature of 40ºC with pH and disinfectant levels within the limits stated in the corresponding regulations.

S I G N A T U R E 7. Recommendations 7.1. PACKAGING: The ATLAS filter is delivered adequately packed in a sealed cardboard box on which positioning and stacking logistic information for palleting is indicated. Any failure to comply with this information can result in damage to the product. Due to the dimensions and weight, the 900 diameter filter is supplied on its own pallet so that it can be handled with a forklift truck or pallet jack.
S I G N A T U R E 7.5. STARTING UP PROCESS Selector valve The water is drawn in from the bottom of the pool through the drain and from the surface using the skimmers , and is carried through the pump to the filter by separate conduction pas- sages fitted to their corresponding valves and returned to the pool through distributors (...
S I G N A T U R E 7.6. INSTALLATION: 7.6.1. INSTALL THE FILTER IN ITS FINAL LOCATION Install the selector valve in the filter, ensuring that the gaskets between the valve and the filter are correctly positioned. Make the three connections needed for the selector valve: pump tubing to the valve, from the valve to the drainpipe and from the valve to the side of the pool.
S I G N A T U R E 7.6.2. LOADING SAND To get maximum performance out of this filter, it must be filled with silica sand with a particle size from 0.4 to 0.8 mm. With the quantity indicated in the table of characteristics, proceed as follows: Carry out the loading once the filter is placed in its location and the joining tubing is installed.
S I G N A T U R E Afterwards, stop the pump and place the selector valve handle in the “FILTRATION” position In this position, the filter is preparing to work, the water from the pool enters via the diffuser, leaves through the collector and is returned to the pool.
S I G N A T U R E These pressures are guidelines for typical installations; the working pressure may vary depend- ing on the design. It is important to remember that the working pressure depends on whether the sand is clean. An increase to this pressure of 0.5 bars would indicate the need to carry out a wash.
S I G N A T U R E DRAINING 7.7.5. RINSE After having carried out a filter “WASH” and put the installation in the “FILTRATION” position, the water will be cloudy for a few seconds as it flows to the pool. Use the “RINSE” function on the selector valve to avoid the cloudy water from circulating to the pool.
S I G N A T U R E 7.8.1. THE WINTER PERIOD To avoid damaging the filter over the winter period the following operations must be carried out: Do a wash and rinse according the previous instructions. Empty the water from the filter. Remove the filter cover to keep it ventilated during the inactive period.
