11. POSITIONING YOUR FILTER SYSTEM
12. FILTER-PUMP ASSEMBLY
• For the best operation of this filter system with above-ground pools, we recommend a skimmer
be installed in your pool. Either an integrated skimmer (built into the pool wall) or a suspended
skimmer (attached to the pool wall).
• The installation area must allow an adequate safety margin to the pool wall.
•
We recommend putting the filter system on a concrete slab or something similar. Be sure the
installation location is level.

Assemble the filter system at the location where the pump will be installed.
The filter pump consists of the following parts:
a.
90° connector
b.
Transparent cover
c.
Clamping ring
d.
Filter tank
e.
1¼”-1½” return to pool hose fitting
f.
Tank and pump base plate
g.
Filter pump
h.
1½” diameter connection hose
i.
Screw Kit

TM
, approx. 0.7 lbs.
c.
Place the large tank O-Ring onto the underside of the transparent cover.
d.
Lay the transparent cover onto the upper neck of the filter tank. It is very important to ensure
that all surfaces have been cleaned once again and are free from any dirt or debris before you
do this.
e.
The transparent cover is connected to the filter tank using the clamping ring. The clamping
ring is screwed together with the clamping ring screw and clamping ring screw nut.
f.
Fit the 90° connector on the upper side of the transparent cover.
g.
Connect the 90° connector to the filter pump by using the connection hose provided. Fasten
all connections with hose clamps and ensure that the pump connecting pieces are sealed using
“Teflon” tape, (available at any plumbing or hardware store).

a. Return line:
This is the hose connection between the filter tank and the pool’s return water
fittings. The filtered water is fed back into the pool at this point.
b. Skimmers or intake fittings:
This is the hose connection between the pool skimmer or intake
fittings and the filter pump. Water to be filtered is drawn from the pool and into the pump at
this point.
