5. GETTING STARTED
Unpacking Your Filter System
This product requires assembly.
Carefully remove the product and all parts. Make sure all items listed in the Parts List/Reference are included. Please note that some
parts may be pre-assembled.
Inspect everything carefully to make sure nothing is damaged.
Do not discard packing material until you have satisfactorily operated the product.
If any parts are missing or damaged, please call the number listed on the front page of this manual.
NOTE: Some parts may be located within the filter tank. To access these parts you must remove the tank cover.
Tools & Equipment Required
The following items are not included with your new filter system, but will be required for proper installation and operation:
• ¼" Blade Screwdriver
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• Rubber
Mallet
• A small container of silicone based lubricant
• Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) power outlet – Must be installed by a certified electrician
• One 1½" backwash hose
IMPORTANT
Requires 30 lbs of No. 20 Silica Sand (not included)
The above equipment list is based on the assumption that your above-ground pool is assembled, filled with water and that your pool
is equipped with the necessary filtration hoses needed to operate with a filter (cartridge or otherwise). If your pool is not
assembled, please refer to the pool’s installation manual for details. If you do not have hoses for your pool’s intake and return,
you will need to purchase the hoses from a pool supply store.
This Pool Filter System is designed to connect to pools with standard 1¼” or 1½” diameter hose connectors and has 2 ¼ ” hose
adapters for INTEX® pools. If your pool has a hose connector with a different size and/or type, you may need to purchase an adapter
at your local pool supply store or hardware retailer.
Know Your Pool
Before you begin installation, it is a good idea to know certain specifications of your pool:
• How big is your pool?
• How many gallons does it hold?
• What size hose does it use? (i.e. 1¼” dia, 1½” dia or 2¼” dia)
• What kind of hose connection does it use? ( i.e. threaded/unthreaded)
Filter Location
The Pool Filter System needs to be located on a 2’ x 3’ completely level, hard surface lower than the pool’s water level and away from
the pool to prevent access to children. The hard surface may be made of concrete, gravel, patio pavers, etc.
Power Source Requirements
The Pool Filter System is equipped with a US standard electrical cord and plug which should only be connected to a power outlet
protected by a qualified Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) that has been installed by a professional electrician and adheres
to local codes and regulations. To AVOID electric shock, serious personal injury or death, power cord extensions should NOT BE USED.
DO NOT handle power cords or equipment with wet hands, while standing in water or while wet.
