3. Important general information

The water level in the skimmer must always be at least up to the middle of the lter opening.

If the water level is only 1 cm above the lower edge of the skimmer, there is a risk that too

little water will be added to the lter system.

Regularly check that the skimmer ap is properly functioning and clean the skimmer basket as ne-

eded, but at least once weekly.

The included suction plate (6) is only used when a bottom suction hose is to be connected to the

lter system. It is very important that the hose is completely lled with water before you begin. Fill

the hose by holding it in front of the return tube while the lter pump is running. It is advisable to

turn o󰀨 the lter pump before the bottom suction hose is connected to avoid air in the system when

connecting the hose.

TIP!

Priming a non-self-priming pump

Attach a hose to the base of the skimmer and switch on the water. Water now ows

towards the pump. Start the pump when it is full of water. The pump begins to suck in

water, creating a vacuum in the hoses.

There is no need to re-prime unless for some reason the hoses have been

disconnected.

4. Preparing for cold weather

Before cold weather sets in, the water level in the pool must be reduced to a level under the return

tube to avoid frost damage to the component parts during the winter. Hoses and lter systems

must be removed, emptied and stored at a temperature above freezing. If xed lines are used, they

must be emptied of water. It is advisable to use a skimmer guard during the winter.

It absorbs the extra pressure from any formation of ice in the skimmer.
