2. 안전 정보

경고: Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injury or death. This product must be installed and serviced by a qualified pool professional in accordance with all applicable local and national codes and ordinances.

• 서비스나 유지관리를 수행하기 전에는 항상 펌프의 전원을 분리하세요.
• Ensure the filter is properly secured and all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
• 필터의 부품이 손상되었거나 없는 경우 작동하지 마십시오.
• 어린이들이 수영장 장비에 접근하지 못하게 하세요.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling pool chemicals or performing maintenance.
• Maintain proper water chemistry to prevent damage to equipment and ensure safe swimming conditions.
• 설치 또는 유지 관리 절차에 대해 확신이 서지 않는 경우 자격을 갖춘 전문가와 상담하십시오.

3. 설정 및 설치

Proper installation is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of your Hayward Perflex filter. Refer to the detailed installation guide provided with your product for specific diagrams and instructions. The following is a general overview:

3.1 사이트 선택

• Choose a level, solid base for the filter, preferably in a well-drained area.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the filter for maintenance and service (refer to specifications for required clearance).
• Position the filter to minimize plumbing runs and ensure easy access to controls.

3.2 배관 연결

• 수영장 펌프 배출구를 필터의 흡입구에 연결하십시오.
• 필터의 배출구를 수영장 배수관에 연결하십시오.
• 적절한 배관 부속품과 밀봉재를 사용하여 누수 방지 연결을 확보하십시오.
• Install a pressure gauge on the filter to monitor operating pressure.

3.3 전기 연결

• Ensure all electrical connections for the pump are made by a qualified electrician and comply with local codes.
• 펌프는 적절하게 접지되어야 합니다.

3.4 Initial Start-up and DE Charging

1. Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and the filter drain plug is closed.
2. Fill the pool to the proper operating level.
3. Open all suction and return valves.
4. 필터 상단의 공기 배출 밸브를 엽니다.
5. Start the pump. Once a steady stream of water emerges from the air relief valve, close the valve.
6. With the pump running, slowly add the recommended amount of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder into the skimmer. Refer to the filter specifications for the correct DE quantity.
7. Allow the filter to run for several minutes to distribute the DE evenly over the Flex-Tubes.

4. 사용 설명서

Once installed and charged with DE, your Perflex filter is ready for operation. Monitor the pressure gauge and water clarity to ensure optimal performance.

4.1 정상 작동

• The filter should operate with the pump running, circulating pool water through the DE media.
• Note the initial clean filter pressure reading on the pressure gauge. This is your baseline.
• The filter will remove microscopic particles, improving water clarity.

4.2 Extended-Cycle Filtration

The Perflex filter's Flex-Tube technology allows for extended cleaning cycles. As dirt accumulates on the DE, the pressure in the filter will gradually rise. Instead of immediate backwashing, the Perflex system allows for "bumping" to refresh the DE.

5. 유지관리

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Perflex filter. The primary maintenance task is cleaning the filter when the operating pressure rises.

5.1 When to Clean (Bump) the Filter

• Clean the filter when the pressure gauge reading rises 7-10 PSI above the initial clean filter pressure.
• Clean the filter if water clarity decreases significantly.

5.2 Cleaning Procedure (Bumping)

1. 수영장 펌프를 끄고 전원을 차단하세요.
2. 필터 상단의 공기 배출 밸브를 엽니다.
3. Operate the "bump" handle (if equipped) or follow the specific instructions for your model to dislodge the DE from the Flex-Tubes. This action reuses the DE and dirt mixture to form new cleaning surfaces.
4. 공기 배출 밸브를 닫으십시오.
5. 펌프를 다시 시작하십시오.
6. If the pressure remains high or water clarity does not improve after bumping, a full disassembly and cleaning of the Flex-Tube assembly may be required.

5.3 Disassembly and Full Cleaning

Periodically, or if bumping does not restore filter performance, a full cleaning of the internal components is necessary. The easy-to-access clamp assembly simplifies this process.

1. 펌프를 끄고 전원을 분리하세요.
2. Open the air relief valve and drain the filter completely.
3. cl을 제거하세요amp assembly that secures the filter head to the tank.
4. Carefully lift the filter head and Flex-Tube assembly out of the tank.
5. Rinse the Flex-Tube assembly thoroughly with a garden hose to remove all DE and debris.
6. Inspect the Flex-Tubes for any damage or tears. Replace if necessary.
7. Clean the inside of the filter tank.
8. Reassemble the filter, ensuring the O-ring is clean and properly seated.
9. cl을 보안하세요amp assembly firmly.
10. Recharge the filter with new DE as per the initial start-up procedure.
