How to properly install the ASTRALPOOL Millennium water filter?

Question

Accepted Answer

To ensure optimal operation of your ASTRALPOOL Millennium water filter, installation must be carried out on a horizontal and completely clean surface. Place the filter in its final location as close as possible to the pool, ideally about 0.50 m below the water level. Plan for a drain or waste pipe in the filter area to facilitate draining and maintenance.

Leave enough space around the filter to perform necessary checks and maintenance. If your model is equipped with a side multiport valve, install it in the filter while ensuring that the seals between the valve and the filter are correctly positioned to avoid any leaks.

Make the three essential connections of the multiport valve: the piping from the pump to the valve, from the valve to the drain, and from the valve to the pool return. Each outlet of the valve is duly identified. For the connections, use only plastic fittings and Teflon to ensure sealing. Do not use iron piping, hemp, or solvent that could damage the system.

Install the manometer tee with its seal, then the manometer and the purge cap (water degassing). No Teflon is necessary for this installation as sealing is guaranteed by the provided seal. Do not tighten the manometer tee with a tool: hand tightening is sufficient to avoid damaging the plastic parts.

Before starting filtration, wash the filter sand. First, set the multiport valve to “WASH” (BACKWASH), open the suction pipe valves from the pool, and run the pump for 4 minutes. Then stop the pump, set the valve to “RINSE” and rinse for 1 minute. After this operation, stop the pump and set the valve to “FILTRATION”.

Important: always turn off the pump before changing the position of the multiport valve. When tightening connections with rubber seals, do not over-tighten as moderate pressure is sufficient to ensure sealing without risking breaking the plastic parts. Your ASTRALPOOL Millennium filter is now ready to effectively filter the water in your pool.
