SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure you have access to water to fill the pool and chemicals for the water. A

small coin can be used to tighten the hose clamps (7).

IMPORTANT: This filter pump is shipped with the air release valve (1) open

(open the air release valve if necessary). DO NOT replace the air release valve

until you reach STEP #8. Failure to follow these instructions will result in air

trapped inside filter housing; the motor will run dry, be noisy and malfunction.

1. Assemble above-ground-pool first. Carefully follow the pool’s installation

instructions.

2. Place the filter pump the length of the hose away from the pool wall where the

lower black protruding hose connection is "sticking-out".

3. Insert the nozzle union (9 & 10) into the upper protruding hose connections.

Then insert the strainer union (9 & 11) into the lower protruding hose

connections. The hoses (8) fit over the strainers inserted into the connections.

4. There are two hoses to be connected to the filter pump hose connections. With

hose clamps (7), fasten one of the hoses (8) to the lower protruding hose

connection (marked "+" on the pool liner) and to the upper pump connection

(marked "+").

5. Connect the second hose to the remaining upper protruding hose connection

and to the lower pump connection. Make sure all the hose clamps (7) are tight.

6. Twist the filter pump’s threaded cover (3) in a clockwise direction to be sure it

is on "tight". Use only your hands to tighten the top. Do not tighten with tools

such as pliers.

7. Fill the pool to a level of at least 1-2 inches above the top connection. The

water will automatically flow down into the pump.

8. When water starts flowing out of the air release valve hole, screw in the air

release valve back into the filter housing cover. Do not over tighten the valve.

NOTE: Venting the system is necessary for air to escape as the filter

housing fills with water.

9. Connect the filter pump to the power outlet. The filter pump is now filtering the

water.

10. Operate the filter pump until the desired water clarity is obtained.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type

receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or

residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot

verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI/RCD. Use a qualified

electrician to install the GFCI/RCD, which has a maximum rate of 30mA.

Do not use a portable residual current device (PRCD).

WARNING

Position this product away from the pool, so as to prevent children from

climbing on it and accessing the pool.

To inspect and change the filter cartridge, disconnect line cord, unscrew the pool

inlet nozzle (10) and strainer grid (11) from the strainer connectors and insert the

hat-like plugs into the strainer connectors before servicing the filter. After service,

open the air release valve, remove the plugs, allow any air to escape through the

valve before tightening the valve again and replace the pool inlet nozzle (10) and

strainer grid (11). The pump is now primed with water again and may be turned on.

FILTER PUMP STATIONARY MOUNTING OPTION

-- (3) x M6 HEXAGON HEAD BOLTS

-- (3) x M6 HEXAGON LOCK-NUTS

145mm

There are three mounting holes located at the bottom of the filterpump base.

These holes are provided because various country’s regulations, especially in the

European community, require the filterpump to be secured to the ground or to a

base in a permanent upright position.

These three holes form a triangle pattern and are 145mm from each other. The

holes are slotted with a 7mm width.

The filterpump can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden structure to

prevent accidental falling over. Total assembly must exceed 18kg. The drawings on

the following show two possible ways of upright mounting.

MAINTENANCE

POOL CARE AND CHEMICALS

• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With

proper chemical control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your

pool supply dealer for instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine,

algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water.

• Keep pool chemicals away from children.

• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations

could occur.

• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and

can not be overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH

levels are required when filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult

your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.

• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra

water additives and extra filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the

pH level is balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for

instructions.

• Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.

• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play

in the pool and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the

pool liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of grass may grow through

the liner.

• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with

various run times so as to produce clean clear water.

CAUTION

Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always

follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard

warnings.

MAINTENANCE

1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the

water is directed towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the

house. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of

swimming pool water.

2. Now, drain the pool.

3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all pool hoses (8) from the pool and filter

pump, simply reverse the set up instructions.

4. Remove the filter cartridge as shown in the Filter Cartridge Cleaning section,

steps 2 thru 4.

5. Remove the nozzle and strainer unions from the pool wall. Place the wall

plugs into the hose connections. Loosen clamps (7) securing the strainer

connectors (9) before removal.

6. Drain water from the filter pump housing.

7. Leave filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.

8. Depending on the cartridge (5) usage, a new cartridge may be needed for next

season, keep a spare available.

9. Cover the seal (4), air release valve O-ring (2) and hose seals (6) with

petroleum jelly to preserve its resilience during storage.

10. Store the unit and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature

should be controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and

104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) storage location.

11. The original packing can be used for storage.

LONG TERM STORAGE

It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least

every 2 weeks.

1. Make sure filter pump is not operating. Disconnect line cord.

2. To prevent water from escaping the pool, unscrew the pool inlet nozzle (10)

and strainer grid (11) from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs

into the strainer connectors.

3. In a counter-clockwise motion, remove threaded cover (3) and cover seal (4).

Be careful not to lose the cover seal (4).

4. Remove filter cartridge (5) to clean it. The filter may be cleaned from the spray

from a water hose.

5. Use judgement as to whether cartridge needs to be replaced.

6. Return cartridge to filtering position.

7. Return the seal (4) and threaded cover (3) to their original positions. Tighten

the threaded cover (3) by hand only, twisting it in a clockwise direction.

8. After service, open the air release valve, remove the plugs, allow any air to

escape through the valve before tightening the valve again and replace the

pool inlet nozzle (10) and strainer grid (11). The pump is now primed with

water again and may be turned on.
