Pool startup

    • Fill with water until the water level in the pool has reached the middle of the skimmer opening. The pump must not be started without water, as the shaft seal can be damaged.
    • Open all ball valves.
    • Set the arrow on the central valve handle to FILTER by pressing down the handle and turning it.
    • Remove the vacuum cover in the skimmer.
    • Check that there is water in the circulation pump and start it. After a short while, the circulation pump will have sucked the air out of the pipes and the pressure will rise in the sand filter. If there has been too much air in the pipes, the circulation pump may need to be refilled with more water. NOTE! The pump must never run dry.
    • Check the water's pH value and alkalinity and adjust to the correct level (7.2-7.6).
    • When the pH value is correct, shock chlorinate the pool and wait for 6 hours.
    • Turn on any heating for the pool.
    • Regularly check the pH value, chlorine level, and alkalinity.
    • TIME TO SWIM!

Uppstart av pool

Start the pool as follows:

  • 1.

    Stop the pump
    (if it is not already stopped)
    Close the valve before the pump.

  • 2.

    Remove the pre-filter cover
    and fill with water

  • 3.

    Put back and close
    the pre-filter cover.

  • 4.

    Start the pump and quickly open
    the ball valve

  • 5.

    Wait 30 seconds until
    the water comes.
    If the water does not come,
    repeat again.

Att maintaining the pool

  • Backflushing

    If the pressure has dropped about 0.2 bar on the sand filter's pressure gauge or if the pressure from the inlets has decreased, it is time to backwash. Backwash the filter as follows:

    • Turn off the circulation pump.
    • Close the ball valves to the inlet and skimmer.
    • Unscrew the lid on the circulation pump and empty the strainer basket.
    • Replace the strainer basket and screw the lid back on.
    • Turn the handle to BACKWASH on the sand filter.
    • Open the ball valves to the inlet and skimmer.
    • Start the circulation pump. NOTE! The heater should be turned off.
    • The filter should now be flushed for about 1-2 minutes or until the water in the sight glass is clear.
    • Turn off the circulation pump. Turn the handle to RINSE on the sand filter. Start the circulation pump and rinse for about 15-30 seconds.
    • Then turn off the circulation pump and turn the handle on the sand filter to FILTER, which is the sand filter's normal operating mode.
    • Start the circulation pump and any heater.

  • Positions on the central valve (6-way valves):

    • FILTER Normal filter mode
    • BACKWASH Cleaning of the filter sand
    • RINSE Stabilization of the filter sand
    • WASTE Manual cleaning of the pool bottom directly to the drain or emptying the pool
    • CLOSED Closed
    • CIRCULATION Water flows directly to the pool without filtration

Winter closing of the pool

1.

When the water temperature drops below 10 degrees, it's time to winterize the pool. A few days before you do a complete winter closing, you need to ensure that the water's
pH level is between 7.2-7.4 and that the pool is clean from leaves, dirt, and algae. When the pH level is correct, you also need to check the REDOX value (chlorine level), so that
it is at least 700mV. Also measure the alkalinity and adjust if necessary. Add algaecide (also called "winter preservative for pools"). This will prevent algae from forming at temperatures above 10 degrees in the spring. When the above values are adjusted, you should let the circulation pump run for another 4 hours and then measure the values again.

2.

Backwash the sand filter


3.

Turn off the circulation pump and set the sand filter to winter shutdown mode.

4.

Lower the water level using a submersible pump until the water level is below the inlet. If you have a "jetswim," the level should be lowered below it.

5.

Unscrew the winter plug from both the sand filter and the circulation pump and let the water drain out.

6.

Disconnect the heat pump from the power supply and shut off the water supply to the heat pump by closing the bypass connection. Also disconnect the heat pump's connections from the system, unscrew the heat pump's drain plug, and lift one side of the heat pump so that all the water drains out through the connections and the drain outlet. It is absolutely necessary to drain all the water from the heat pump, as even a small drop that freezes can cause the pipes to burst and damage the heat pump. Store the heat pump in a storage room or garage over the winter, or cover it with a protective cover.

7.

Remove the lid from the circulation pump and the basket.

8.

Remove the skimmer basket. Clean the skimmer using a wet/dry vacuum and suck out any remaining water inside the skimmer and the pipe. To create a seal between the vacuum nozzle and the skimmer, you can use a cloth.

When you hear the vacuum sucking at the circulation pump’s opening, it indicates that the pipe is empty of water. If you have a check valve before the pump, it must be unscrewed.

9.

Unscrew one of the connections on the pressure side after the pump (for example, where the electrolysis is connected at the salt chlorinator) and make sure all valves are open (i.e., pointing along the pipe). Close the valve leading to the sand filter. Turn the vacuum cleaner hose so that it blows air into the pipe instead. When you start blowing air in, all the water in the pipe will be pushed into the inlet and out into the pool.

10.

To close the pump cabinet for the winter, the above winter shutdown procedure can be used. For pump rooms located below ground level, the ball valve (which is located just before the pool inlet) must be closed so that no water can enter. If you have a Jetswim, you also need to close the ball valves for it and drain the pipes and pump of water.

11.

Unscrew the Automatic Dosing sensors and place them in a winter storage bottle with winter storage liquid (sold separately).

12.

Place PET bottles or styrofoam on the water surface. This prevents the pool edge from being damaged when the ice expands. Close your pool cover and lock it

  • How to winterize the pool heat pump?

    • Disconnect the heat pump from the power supply.
    • Turn off the water supply to the heat pump by closing the bypass connection.
    • Disconnect the heat pump's connections from the system.
    • Unscrew the heat pump's drain plug and lift one side of the heat pump so that all water drains out through the connections and the drain outlet. It is absolutely necessary to remove all water from the heat pump, as even a small drop that freezes can cause the pipes to burst and damage the heat pump.
    • Bring the heat pump indoors to a storage room/garage for the winter or cover it with a protective cover.

Important to know:

  • Pool heat pumps are not designed to operate at temperatures below 5 degrees. At that point, the heat pump should be winterized, and we recommend that a professional in the field assist you with this when closing the pool for the winter.

    At temperatures below freezing and improper winterization, freeze damage can occur, and the entire heat pump can break down, which is not covered by the heat pump's warranty.

    We recommend that you do not leave the heat pump outdoors during the winter period but store it in a storage room or garage. We also recommend protecting the heat pump by covering it.

Replacement of flow switch for pool heat pump

    • Turn off the flow and the pump completely.
    • Lift the lid on the top and open the small box (the electrical box) located in the pump.
    • There you will find the flow switch screwed onto the heat exchanger (the blue circular container on the right side).
    • Unscrew the flow switch and be careful with the gasket inside.
    • Follow the cable connected to the box and replace it one by one: red to red, white to white.
    • Screw the new flow switch into place. Make sure the gasket is properly seated.
    • Screw the electrical box and the lid back into place.
    • Start the system and ensure the flow passes through the heat pump.
    • Start the pump and wait until it begins to operate normally.
