2. Производ је готовview и компоненте
The ASTRALPOOL Aster 99 Sand Filter is designed for efficient swimming pool water filtration. It consists of a durable filter tank and a multi-port valve that controls the water flow through the system.
Слика 1: ASTRALPOOL Aster 99 Sand Filter and Multi-port Valve. The image displays the main filter tank, which is a large, white, spherical unit, alongside a separate black multi-port valve with a handle, used for directing water flow.
2.1. Main Components:
- Резервоар за филтер: The main body where the filter media (sand) is contained.
- Multi-port Valve: Controls the operational modes of the filter (e.g., filter, backwash, rinse).
- Манометар: Indicates the internal pressure of the filter, crucial for determining when backwashing is needed.
- Чеп за одвод: Located at the bottom of the tank for draining water.

4. Подешавање и инсталација
Proper installation is crucial for the filter's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1. Избор локације
- Place the filter on a firm, level surface, preferably concrete, to prevent settling.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
- Allow sufficient space around the filter for maintenance and service.
4.2. Filling with Filter Media (Sand)
- Ensure the internal standpipe and laterals are properly assembled and secured.
- Place a plastic bag or cover over the standpipe opening to prevent sand from entering.
- Carefully pour the recommended amount and grade of filter sand into the tank.
- Remove the plastic bag/cover and ensure no sand has entered the standpipe.
4.3. Multi-port Valve Installation
- Carefully place the multi-port valve onto the filter tank, aligning the standpipe with the valve's opening.
- Secure the valve to the tank using the provided clamp or bolts, ensuring a tight seal.
- Connect the plumbing from the pump to the "PUMP" port on the valve.
- Connect the plumbing to the pool return lines to the "RETURN" port on the valve.
- Connect a waste line to the "WASTE" port on the valve, directing water to an appropriate drainage area.
- Install the pressure gauge into the designated port on the valve.
5. Упутство за употребу
The multi-port valve controls the filter's functions. Always turn off the pump before changing the valve position to prevent damage.
5.1. Multi-port Valve Positions
- ФИЛТЕР: Normal filtering mode. Water flows through the sand, is cleaned, and returned to the pool.
- БАЦКВАСХ: Cleans the filter sand. Water flows in reverse, flushing trapped debris out the waste line.
- ИСПИРАЊЕ: Used after backwashing to settle the sand and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to FILTER mode.
- ОТПАД/ОДВОД: Bypasses the filter, sending water directly from the pool to the waste line. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
- РЕЦИРЦУЛАТЕ: Bypasses the filter, circulating water directly back to the pool. Useful for chemical distribution without filtering.
- ЗАТВОРЕНО: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use for servicing the pump or filter.
5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)
- Ensure the pool is filled to the proper level and all plumbing connections are secure.
- Set the multi-port valve to БАЦКВАСХ.
- Turn on the pump. Backwash for 2-3 minutes, or until the water in the sight glass (if present) runs clear.
- Искључите пумпу.
- Set the multi-port valve to ИСПИРАЊЕ.
- Turn on the pump. Rinse for 30-60 seconds.
- Искључите пумпу.
- Set the multi-port valve to ФИЛТЕР.
- Turn on the pump. Note the initial pressure gauge reading; this is your clean filter pressure.
6. Одржавање
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your filter.
6.1. Backwashing
Backwash the filter when the pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI (0.5-0.7 bar) above the clean filter pressure, or when pool water clarity decreases. Follow the steps outlined in "5.2. Initial Startup (First Backwash)" for each backwash cycle.
6.2. Припрема за зиму (ако је применљиво)
- Искључите пумпу и искључите напајање.
- Set the multi-port valve to ЗИМИТИ (if available) or an intermediate position between two settings to relieve pressure on the gasket.
- Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the filter tank to completely drain all water.
- Disconnect all plumbing lines and store them in a dry, frost-free area.
- Remove the pressure gauge and store it indoors.
- Cover the filter to protect it from elements.
