Flotide FSP 6W filter system

Crystal-clear water with minimal effort – The Flotide pool filter system FSP 6W

Having your own pool means relaxation and bathing fun – but only with clean, clear water is the pleasure perfect.

This is exactly where the Flotide pool filter system FSP 6W comes into play.

Developed specifically for private pools, it combines reliable filter performance with particularly easy handling.

The robust filter tank made of blow-molded polyethylene ensures long-lasting and safe use. The practical 6-way multi-port valve on the top allows intuitive control of all important functions – from filtration to backwashing to emptying.

The system is supported by a powerful centrifugal pump with an integrated pre-filter, which efficiently retains leaves, hair and coarse dirt before the water is cleaned by the sand filter.

Thanks to the sophisticated design and user-friendly operation, installation and maintenance of the filter system is particularly easy. So you can sit back and relax and enjoy your pool to the fullest – with consistently clear and hygienic water.

1. Components of the filter system

The Flotide filter system consists of several essential components:

Sand filter tank:

A durable filter tank filled with filter sand to effectively filter dirt particles from the water.

Pool pump:

A powerful pump that moves the water through the filter circuit.

6-way valve:

A multi-way valve for easy control of various functions, including filtering, backwashing, rinsing, and draining.

Manometer:

A pressure gauge to check the operating pressure and determine the correct time for backwashing.

Hose connections:

Connectors for the inlets and outlets to connect the pump to the pool.

Base/mounting platform:

A stable base for secure attachment of the entire filter system.

Drain valve:

Allows easy draining of water from the filter container.

2. Functions of the filter system

The Flotide filter system offers various functions that are controlled via the 6-way valve:

Filtering (normal operation):

The water is sucked out of the pool, passed through the sand filter and returned cleaned.

Backwash:

A reversal of the water flow to remove accumulated dirt particles from the filter sand. This increases filter efficiency.

Rinse:

After backwashing, this function is used to reset the filter sand and rinse out any remaining dirt.

Recirculate:

The pump circulates the water without passing through the filter. This feature is used to distribute pool chemicals more quickly.

Emptying (Waste):

The water is pumped directly from the pool without passing through the filter. Ideal for draining water or removing large amounts of debris.

Closed:

The water flow is completely stopped. This setting should only be used when the pump is turned off.

3. Installation of the filter system

The installation of the Flotide filter system is straightforward, but should be carried out carefully:

Step 1: Prepare the location

Install the filter system on a stable, level, and dry surface near the pool. Ensure there is sufficient space for maintenance.

Step 2: Fill in filter sand

Fill the sand filter container with the recommended amount of filter sand according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the central tube remains centered and does not become clogged with sand.

Step 3: Connect the pump

Connect the pool pump to the pool inlet and sand filter using the appropriate hoses. Seal all connections thoroughly to prevent leaks.

Step 4: Install the 6-way valve

Correctly attach the multi-way valve to the filter container and ensure it is screwed tightly. Attach the pressure gauge to the valve.

Step 5: Electrical connection

Connect the pump to a suitable power source. Ensure that the power supply complies with safety regulations.

Step 6: Initial commissioning

Set the valve to backwash. Turn on the pump and let it run for approximately 2-3 minutes to clean the filter sand. Turn off the pump and set the valve to rinse.

Turn the pump on again for approximately 1 minute to stabilize the filter system. Turn the pump off again and set the valve to filter.

Turn on the pump – the system is now ready for operation.

Conclusion

The Flotide FSP 6W filter system is a reliable system for pool water purification.

Thanks to the 6-way valve and the powerful pump, it ensures easy handling and effective filtration.

Installation is straightforward, and with regular maintenance the water remains clear and hygienic.
