4. Einrichtung und Installation

The Hayward SP071620T Vari-Flo Control Valve is designed for use with Hayward Pro Series Top Mount Sand Filters. Ensure the filter is properly positioned and secured before beginning valve installation.

1. Filter vorbereiten: Ensure the sand filter tank is clean and filled with the appropriate amount of filter media (sand) as per your filter's instructions.
2. Position O-Ring: Carefully place the large O-ring (GMX600F) into the groove on the valve flange or the filter neck, ensuring it is seated correctly and free of debris. This O-ring creates a watertight seal between the valve and the filter tank.
3. Ventil montieren: Align the control valve with the top opening of the sand filter. The valve ports should be oriented correctly for your plumbing setup (typically, the 'PUMP' port faces the pump, and the 'RETURN' port faces the pool return lines). Press the valve firmly onto the filter neck.
4. Sichere Clamp: Platzieren Sie dieamp (GMX600NM) around the flange of the valve and the neck of the filter. Insert the bolt and nut, then tighten the clamp evenly using a wrench. Do not overtighten, but ensure a snug, leak-free connection.
5. Sanitäranschlüsse: Connect 2-inch plumbing lines to the appropriate valve ports: 'PUMP' (from the pump), 'RETURN' (to the pool), and 'WASTE' (to a waste line or drain). Use appropriate PVC cement and primer for rigid PVC connections, or hose clamps for flexible hose connections, ensuring all connections are watertight.
6. Manometer installieren: Thread the pressure gauge into the designated port on the valve body. Hand-tighten only, or use a small amount of thread sealant if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
7. Dichtheitsprüfung: After all connections are made, slowly turn on the pump and check for any leaks around the valve, clamp, and plumbing connections. Address any leaks before full operation.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

The Vari-Flo control valve features multiple positions for various pool operations. Always turn off the pump before changing valve positions to prevent damage to the valve or filter system.

• FILTER: This is the normal operating position for filtering the pool water. Water flows from the pump, through the filter media, and back to the pool.
• RÜCKSPÜLUNG: Used for cleaning the filter media. When the pressure gauge reading is 8-10 PSI above its clean starting pressure, it's time to backwash. Water flows from the pump, through the filter in reverse, and out the waste port. Backwash until the water running to waste is clear (typically 1-3 minutes).
• SPÜLEN: Used immediately after backwash to flush any remaining dirty water from the filter and ensure clean water returns to the pool. Water flows through the filter and out the waste port. Rinse for 30-60 seconds.
• ABFALL: This position bypasses the filter entirely. It is used for draining the pool, lowering the water level, or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste without passing it through the filter.
• REZIRKULIEREN: This position circulates water through the pump and valve, directly back to the pool, without passing it through the filter. Useful for distributing chemicals quickly or if the filter is temporarily out of service.
• GESCHLOSSEN: This position shuts off all flow to the filter and pool. Use only when servicing the pump or filter, or when the pool is closed for an extended period. Never operate the pump with the valve in the CLOSED position, as this can cause severe damage to the pump.

6. Wartung

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your control valve.

• Auf Schäden prüfen: Periodically inspect the valve handle, body, and ports for any signs of cracks, wear, or damage. Replace any damaged components promptly.
• O-Ring Inspection and Lubrication: Annually, or if leaks occur, inspect the large O-ring (GMX600F) between the valve and filter. Clean it, lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant designed for pool equipment, and replace if it appears cracked, flattened, or deteriorated.
• Clamp Sicherheit: Stellen Sie sicher, dass die clamp securing the valve to the filter tank remains securely tightened. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
• Überwinterung: In colder climates, properly winterize the valve and filter system to prevent freeze damage. Drain all water from the valve and plumbing lines.
• UV-Schutz: Protect the valve from direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can degrade plastic components over time. Consider using a protective cover if the equipment is exposed.
