Back Wash the pool pump

 We do need to do the back wash for the pool pump from time to time especially when we see the waters running slowly into the filter. Or the suction of the pool vacuum is very weak. Use the service key & fob to get access to the pool equip room.

First make sure we turn off the spa heater before we turn the pumps off. Press the power button on the heater to turn it off.


There are three power switches for the pumps, we can turn off all the switches. But we will only use the pool pump power when doing the back wash. Which is the left one.


Pumps normally running in the FILTER position (6 o'clock). When the power is off, press the lever down and turn it into the BACK WASH slot. (12 o'clock). Please make sure the lever is in the slot properly.

Turn the pump power on and let the pump run for 2-3 minutes.



Turn the power off to finish the back wash.

Turn the pump lever to RINSE position. (5 o'clock)
Turn the power on again and wait for 1 minute then turn it off to finish the rinse.

Turn the lever back to FILTER position and now your can turn on all the switches back on to let all the equipment running as normal.

Last step don't forget to turn the SPA HEATER on.

  Aircon Troubleshooting: If the aircon controller displays an A4 error code or the unit is not cooling properly ,  please try the following steps: Method 1: Power cycle the circuit. The circuit is located in the bedroom wardrobe (03 units in the cabinet outside the bathroom). The aircon circuit is usually the 4th switch from the left . Turn it off, wait for a couple of minutes, and then turn it back on. Method 2: Using the dedicated Allen key found in the office toolbox , open the ceiling aircon system cover. Then, operate the two pipe valves (as shown in the picture) several times (at least 6 cycles). This procedure helps to clear the pipes and may restore proper cooling. Method 3: If Methods 1 and 2 do not work, the aircon may require a hardware reset . To perform this, open the control panel located on the opposite side of the two valves mentioned above. On the control board, there is a black reset button — press and hold this button to reset the system. If none o...

Troubleshooting: Landline Cannot Be Connected

 Troubleshooting: Landline Cannot Be Connected Identifying the Issue: If it's observed that our landline cannot be connected, especially if no phone calls have been received in the past 2 hours, I highly suggest to make a test call to our landline number: 07 5557 7500. This helps confirm if the issue is with incoming calls. When there's a connection issue please  Reboot the VoIP Device located in the office: Unplug the device, wait for a minute, and then re-plug it in. In most cases, rebooting the VoIP device should resolve the landline connection issue. If problems persist, further investigation may be necessary.

Troubleshooting: Internet Connection

When guests encounter an internet connection issue, follow these steps to troubleshoot: Check Maldives Public Wifi: First, try to connect to the Maldives Public Wifi on your own phone to determine if it's a guest device issue or a problem with our building's connection. If you can connect to the Maldives Public Wifi on your phone, it may be a guest device issue. If you can't connect on your phone either, it could be an issue with our building's internet connection. - If it's a guest device issue, and your device can connect but the guest's device cannot, follow these steps to troubleshoot: Forget the Wifi and Reconnect: Ask the guest to forget the Wifi network on their device and then attempt to reconnect. This often resolves connection issues. Reboot the Device: If the issue persists, instruct the guest to reboot their device. Restarting the device can help resolve connectivity problems.
