5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

Understand the functions of the 6-way control valve and the E.C.O. system for effective pool maintenance.

5.1. 6-Way Control Valve Functions

The 6-way control valve allows you to select different operating modes for your sand filter pump. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position.

• Filtra: This is the normal operating mode for daily filtration. Water flows through the filter media and returns to the pool.
• Spalare in contra-spalare: Cleans the filter media by reversing water flow, sending dirty water to the waste port.
• Clătiți: Used after backwash to settle the filter media and flush any remaining dirty water to waste.
• Deşeuri: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly out the waste port. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste or lowering the pool water level.
• Recirculare: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Used for chemical distribution without filtration.
• Închis: Shuts off flow to the filter and pump. Never operate the pump with the valve in the "Closed" position.

5.2. E.C.O. System Operation

The E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidation) system generates natural chlorine from salt to sanitize your pool water.

• Nivel de sare: Add pool salt according to the manufacturer's recommendations for your pool volume. The E.C.O. system will indicate if salt levels are too low or too high. Maintain the recommended salt concentration for optimal performance.
• Chlorine Generation: The system converts dissolved salt into natural chlorine, which effectively kills bacteria and algae.
• Cronometru: Use the integrated timer to set daily operating cycles for both filtration and chlorine generation. Refer to the E.C.O. system's specific instructions for programming the desired run times.

5.3. Funcționare zilnică

Run the pump and E.C.O. system for a sufficient duration each day (typically 8-12 hours, depending on pool size, usage, and environmental conditions) to maintain water clarity and sanitation.
