CONNECTING THE FILTER SYSTEM
The next section outlines installation instructions for connecting the Pool Filter System to your pool. Since the hoses utilized
for filtration and return lines differ for various types of above-ground pools, the pool-filter connection section is broken down
by pool hose size and type. For pools with 1¼” or 1½” diameter unthreaded hoses, see ”A” below. For pools with 2¼” threaded
hose connectors, see ”B” on following page.
STOP
Before you begin to connect hoses to the filter and pump, make certain that no water can flow through the intake or return hoses connected to
the pool. Some pools have shut off valves in their intake and return ports, others do not. If you do not have a shut off valve, block the ports with
a removable plug to prevent water from passing into and through the hoses.
A. For Pools with 1¼” or 1½ “Diameter Unthreaded Hoses
These instructions assume that the pool is already assembled with hoses attached to the water intake and return ports on the pool.
1. Adapter Installation
a. Screw the 1¼”

1½” hose connector into the transparent hair & lint strainer cover.

2. Pool “Skimmer Hose” Attachment
a. Attach the hose coming from your pool’s skimmer (outlet of pool) to the 1¼”
–
1½”
hose connector extending from the hair & lint strainer cover.
b. Secure with a hose clamp.
3. Pool “Return Hose” Attachment
a. Attach the pool return hose (inlet of pool) to the pool return port on the tank cover.

IMPORTANT
Ensure that all HOSE connections are tight and that the hoses are NOT kinked or bent at severe angles.
