Maintenance; Winter Storage - Swim & Fun Basic 3 Manual

Sandfiltersystem Basic 3
The pressure gauge shows the pressure inside the tank. If the pressure should rise by circa 0.2-0.3 bar
above the original pressure measurement, when the filter sand was new and clean, the filter needs a
backwash.
NOTE: In order to provide good hygienic conditions in the filter tank and generally optimal
functioning of the filter, a backwash of the filter should be carried out at least once a week –
regardless of how often the filter has been used during the period and how much dirt has been
accumulated in the filter material (increased pressure on the pressure gauge). During warm periods
and periods of increased bathing activity, at the start of the pool season or when the water is
opaque, or if the atmosphere is more than usually polluted by pollen, leaves, insects etcetera, a
backwash should be carried out several times a week.

Observe:
The BASIC3 filter system should not be used without a permanently installed skimmer in the
pool. Alternatively, a small leaf filter or a floating surface-skimmer is used in the pool,
assuming the pool is plastic without solid sides. The skimmer captures leaves, twigs, and
branches etc. that would otherwise collect in the pump and totally block it. The pump is easily
destroyed by such and the guarantee does not cover such damage.
8.1

Winter storage

When the swimming pool is prepared for winter, the filter and the pump must always be entirely
emptied, detached and stored in a dry and frost-proof room before the first frost arrives! Otherwise,
there is a risk of frost damage that is not covered by the warranty.
8.2 Waste
You can help preserve our environment. Always dispose of consumed electrical equipment correctly
at your local recycling station.

Action
Clean the per-filter basket. Carry out the
backwash regardless of how dirty the filter is.
Get the filter system ready for winter before
there are frosts. Replace the filter sand in early
spring before the sand filter is put into use again.
