IMPORTANT!
Your filter pump is protected by a thermal switch. The switch senses the temperature of the filter pump. If it gets too hot, the switch
will stop the pump from running until it cools off. To restart the pump, press the reset button on the GFCI when the filter pump has cooled down. This
is a safety device to prevent pump damage and prolong service life. If your pump is automatically turning off, it is because of high pool water
temperature and/or low water flow through the pump. If this happens you need to check the water flow and correct it if needed, as this filter pump
uses the water flow for cooling. You may also want to run the pump at night when the temperature is lower.

4. Pressure wash the Cartridge thoroughly (including between the
pleats) with a garden hose to remove larger debris. Allow to dry,
then CAREFULLY brush away smaller and fine particles of dirt.
DO NOT scrub the pleats, or the Cartridge will wear out faster
than it should.
To ensure pool water stays clean, please clean the filter cartridge
every day and change when required.
1. Plug the GFCI Power Cord Set
d
to a properly grounded receptacle. It is recommended that the outlet is at least
15 feet (4.5m) away from the pool.
2. IMPORTANT: To start the filter pump, press the RESET button on the GFCI Plug
d
then switch the pump on.
3. Check the return fitting on the inside of the pool for correct flow, it should feel like a solid stream of water returning
to the pool. You can use the return flow as a gauge to determine when the filter needs cleaning or replacement.
If you feel a reduction in flow, clean or replace filter.
4. Test water and adjust as needed, read - “POOL WATER CARE” on page 12. VERY IMPORTANT – FILTER PUMP
ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY
MAINTAINING PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES!
5. The filter cartridge may need to be cleaned and/or replaced several times at start up until the correct chlorine and
pH levels are attained. We recommend that you keep at least one spare filter cartridge on hand at all times. Filter
cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from BLUE WAVE at
polygroupstore.com.
6. To turn off the filter pump, press the power button on the Pump and unplug the GFCI Plug
