2. INSTALLATION

2.1. LOCATION

It is recommended that the unit be placed at least 3.5 m from the edge of the pool, and in compliance with the

regulations in force at any given time.

2.2. PROCEDURE

Dig a hole large enough for the housing, as well as for the water pipes and electrical wiring required. (Only applies to

RAMSES, KEOPS and KEFREN housing)

• Level the bottom of the hole and compact the soil.

• Put the housing in place.

• Fit the water pipes, including the waste water pipe, and the electrical wiring protected by corrugated conduit.

• For in-ground housing, put in a concrete base that just covers the legs (15–20 cm).

• Fill the remaining space in the hole with gravel for drainage and compact it. Leave a slight incline at the top to

prevent flooding.

KEOPS KEFREN

Dig out underground channels in a bed of sand for

drainage down the main drain

For in-ground housing, build a retaining wall filled

with gravel for drainage, with an incline at the top

to prevent flooding in the hole dug out.

For KEOPS housing on soft soil, fit inner reinforcement (ref. 31105R1000)

Compact the soil before putting the housing on the ground. Place concrete slabs on the bottom to make

the housing more stable.

IN OUT

1. SKIMMER (Ø50) 2. MAIN DRAIN (Ø50) 3. SUCTION INLET (Ø50) 4. WASTE WATER PIPE (Ø50) 5. RETURN TO POOL (Ø50)

To connect the piping, glue it to the fittings supplied with the pump: the fittings to the pump’s

suction and return inlets are threaded and come with watertight seals to prevent leaking.

Ensure the return pipes are fitted completely perpendicular to and perfectly aligned with the inlet

to be connected to prevent the pump and the piping being subject to external forces, which besides

making assembly difficult could even break them.

Fit the suction pipes slightly inclined towards the pump (2%) to prevent pockets of air from forming.

For the pump to work properly, prime the pump’s prefilter until the water flows out of the suction

conduit.

To prevent damage during shipping, the filtration housing is disconnected from the pump’s waste

water pipe. It must be glued before proceeding with its external connection

ENGLISH

2.4. WIRING

Make a hole in the side of the housing into which the power supply is to be fed of the same diameter as the

cable to be fitted. It is recommended that a H07-RNF cable be used. Calculate the diameter of the cable based

on power consumption and voltage drop. Fit cable glands to the cable inlet suitable for the size of the cable. It

is recommended that the cable be protected with a suitable conduit throughout its length.

This unit MAY NOT BE CONNECTED TO A STANDARD SOCKET.

This unit MUST BE PROPERLY WIRED. This must be carried out by a specialist in compliance with the

regulations in force on electrical safety in the country of installation.

The unit must be connected to a 230 V AC mains supply at 50 Hz.

The power supply to the housing unit must ALWAYS BE PROTECTED BY A 30 Ma RESIDUAL-CURRENT

CIRCUIT BREAKER.

There must be AN EARTH CONNECTION.

A multiple disconnection device must be used with a separation of at least 3 mm between contacts in

order to disconnect the filter from the mains.

Use a sufficiently THICK CABLE for the housing’s power supply and its distance from the control panel.

The electrical installation must comply with STANDARD VDE 0100, Part 702. The installation must also

comply with all local and/or national regulations in force.

To complete the electrical installation, ascertain whether there is a distribution board. If there is a distribution

board, proceed to point 2.4.1,“Withdistributionboardinsidethehousing”.If there is not a distribution board,

proceed to point 2.4.2,“Without distribution board”.

Whilst connecting the power cables to the unit, take special care in the layout of the wiring inside the

junction box, check that no pieces of cable have been left inside after closing it and that the earth

conductor has been properly connected.

Particular attention must be paid to ensure that no water whatsoever is able to get into the motor or

any of the live electrical components.

Should the intended use not be as described, further adjustments may have to be made and additional

technical standards may apply.

It is recommended that no holes be made in the filter housing as water in the surrounding land may

penetrate any holes buried underground.

3. START-UP

1. Take the cover(s) off the housing in order to begin the start-up. Unscrew the 6 screws that join the cover

to the hinge, before lifting it off.

2. Open the filter and fill with water half way up. Protect the diffuser inside the filter so that no sand can get

into it.

3. Fill the filter with silex sand of a 0.4–0.8 grain size with the amount shown on the label or 2/3 of the way

up the total filter height.

4. Assemble the pressure gage, the seal and the air bleed cap. It is not necessary to use Teflon seal tape, as

the seal makes this joint watertight. Do not use any tools to tighten the pressure gage’s T-piece. Tightening

it by hand will suffice.

5. Clean any remaining sand off the opening and the cover, as well as off the seal housing and close the filter.

For further information, see the filter’s manual.

6. If the housing were above the pool’s water level, the pump must be primed by opening the prefilter and filing

it with water.

7. If the housing were below the pool’s water level, just open the pressure and check valves, and open the air

bleed valve until the filter and pump are full of water.

8. Place the valves in the following positions.

- SKIMMER: OPEN

- MAIN DRAIN: OPEN

- POOL CLEANER: OPEN

- CHECK VALVE: OPEN

- SELECTOR VALVE: BACKWASH

9. Turn the filter on and backwash it. Backwash until crystal clear water can be seen through the selector valve’s

sight glass.

10. Turn the pump off. Put the selector valve in the rinse position and turn on the pump for 15 seconds. Turn the

pump off again and put the selector valve in the filtration position.

COMPACT FILTRATION HOUSING - INSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

ENGLISH

11. Turn the pump on.

12. Put the housing cover(s) back on by screwing the screws back in at the rear of the cover(s).

Turn the pump off whenever the selector valve is being handled. Otherwise the filter and the whole

installation could be damaged.

It is recommended that a lock or padlock be fitted to prevent children or unauthorized persons from

getting into the housing.

Before switching the unit on, check the calibration of the motor protection circuit breakers, and that

protection devices against electric shocks and mechanical failures are properly positioned and fitted.

Do not start the pump up if there is no water in the pool.

Do not run the filtration unit if the water level does not cover the skimmer’s flap.

3.1. PUMP

Before starting the pump up, perform the following operations:

Take the prefilter cover off.

Seating joint to be cleaned

Prefilter cover

Tower joint

Prefilter

Basket

Fill the pump with water through the prefilter until it flows out of the suction conduit.

Put the basket back inside the prefilter, if it had to be removed to perform the previous operations, so that large

particles are unable to get inside the pump that could block it.

Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond to the figures displayed on the pump’s rating plate.

Put the prefilter cover in place and close it, without forgetting to place the seal in its housing.
