5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
The filter pump is self-priming as long as it is positioned at least 7 to 8 inches below the highest
water level of the lower hose connection. An air relief valve is located on the top of the pump. Turn
the valve knob counter-clockwise, allowing air to escape from the tank. When a small amount of
water escapes, close the knob immediately. The pump is now completely primed.
2.
Prior to each use, check to ensure that all hose-clamps are tightened.
3.
The filter pump must operate in an upright, vertical position.
4.
The filter pump must be positioned on a level, stable ground.
5.
To keep the pool filtered properly, your pump should run approximately 4 to 6 hours per day.
Overuse may cause overheating and/or motor burnout. Use good judgment on extremely hot days.
6.
DO NOT run the filter pump continuously for an extended period of time.

7. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, always disconnect the power to the unit before
attempting to clean the pump or filter canister.
2.
The pump is sealed and requires NO mechanical maintenance or lubrication. Do not attempt to
disassemble the pump motor at any time. Doing so will void your warranty.
3.
If necessary, clean the outside of the pump only with a mild detergent and water.
