Filter system GENO-mat F 500/600/610 A; three-phase current/AC Emptying The filter pump switches off for approx. 1 minute. The automatic actuator turns the valve disc of the automatic multi-way valve to the drainage position. The filter pump switches on and pumps the content of the pool to the drain connection until the operating mode is switched over.
