5) THREE-WAY VALVE
The control valve we install under the skimmer is a three-way valve, and can therefore perform four
functions. It is best to turn the motor off every time you turn this valve.
• When the handle points upwards
The skimmer is cut off, and only the bottom drain is working at 100%. This setting is used to drain water
from the pool, or to vacuum deposits on the bottom using maximum suction.
• When the handle is at setting 2
Water inflow to the pump is cut off. Cleaning the pump basket is easier this way. THE VALVE MUST
NEVER BE IN THIS POSITION WHEN THE PUMP IS RUNNING.
• When the handle points downwards
Only the skimmer is working at 100%. This setting is necessary when vacuuming or connecting
a robotic cleaner.
• When the handle is at setting 4
Nothing is cut off; this is the 50/50 position. The bottom drain and skimmer are working simultaneously.
This is the valve’s normal position.
6) SAND FILTER
A sand filter will function with a minimum of upkeep. However, it is important to understand the various
functions it performs. Here are the settings :
• Filtre-Filter-Filtrage
Filters impurities from the water. Also used when vacuuming ;
• Backwash-Décolmatage-Nettoyage par refoulement
Used to remove debris and dirt in the sand. Backwashing takes about two to three minutes
or until water is clear (with the exception of springtime when it takes approximately 4 to 5 minutes)
(step 1) Backwashing on page 10) ;
• Whirlpool-Recirculate-Recyclage
Allows water to circulate without passing through the sand. This setting is useful for mixing some
chemical products into the water. We also use this filter setting for the second step of backwashing. ;
• Drain-Waste-Déchets :
Used for three functions, i.e. lowering the water level, vacuuming a particularly dirty pool (such as in
the spring), and vacuuming dead algae subsequent to a shock treatment. ;
• Winterize-Hivernisation
For the winter period when the filter is not being used and has been emptied. The handle stays raised
in this position.
Note : You should replace the filter sand every three or four years.
Always turn the pump off when you change the position of the filter handle.
