D.  Get the Return Hose (13) and remove the two Hose Clamps (14) from the hardware bag. Loosen the hose clamps 

and slide them over each end of the hose. It is recommended to liberally lubricate the O-Rings (12) on the Volute 

Housing (4) and on the Elbow (19) with petroleum jelly before installing the hose (13). Install the hose on the 

Pump Volute Housing (4) and on the Elbow (19). Tighten both of the Hose Clamps (14). See Fig. 3.

E.   Place the Filter Cartridge (9) and the Strainer Basket (10) back into the Skimmer Canister (8). It is important that 

the Filter Cartridge (9) slips over the Pump Retaining Nut 

(7) and seals at the bottom of the canister so that the Strainer 

Basket (10) will seat in it’s groove inside the canister, see 

Fig. 4. Place the Lock Top (11) on top of the Skimmer Can-

ister (8) and lock it in place by turning it clockwise until it 

is locked. Push the Weir Foam Pad (27) into the Weir (28) 

and under the tabs, to hold it in place. Take the Weir (28) 

and slide it into the grooves from inside the pool. See Fig 4. 

Once the Weir is pushed inside the grooves, flip it over as 

shown by the Arrow #2 in Fig. 4, to lock it in place. NOTE:  

The weir can ONLY be pushed into the grooves as shown 

by Arrows #1 in Fig. 4, by holding it horizontal. Be sure the 

weir moves freely through the opening, if not carefully trim 

away any obstructing material to allow the Weir to move 

freely.

F.   After the pool is filled, SEE (WATER LEVEL FIG. 4) check 

the hose connections and fittings to make sure there is no 

water leakage. If any leaks are found, see #4 in the Trouble Shooting guide on page #9.

G.  Refer back to your “Above Ground Quick Set Swimming Pool Manual” making sure you have read and com-

pleted ALL INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY before continuing to step 2 page #5 in this manual.

2.  PUMP MOTOR PROTECTION:

3.  PUMP OPERATION:

IMPORTANT: FILTER CARTRIDGE MUST BE FIRMLY SEATED OVER THE PUMP INTAKE PORT 

TO FILTER THE POOL WATER EFFICIENTLY.
NOTE:  ONLY FILTER CARTRIDGES WITH A 1-3/4” INCH DIAMETER HOLE WILL WORK 

PROPERLY.  ANY OTHER SIZE HOLE WILL PREVENT PROPER FILTRATION. THE CARTRIDGE 

MUST SEAL TIGHTLY AROUND BOTH ENDS.

A.  Plug filter into a properly grounded receptacle, located at least 10 feet away.

IMPORTANT!  

Your pump is protected by a thermal overload.  This device senses the temperature 

of the pump and if it is getting too hot, it will open the electric circuit and the pump will stop running 

until it cools off some.  It will automatically turn back on when it has cooled down enough.  This is a 

safety device to help prevent excessive pump damage.
If your pump is doing this, it is because of high pool water temperature and/or high air temperature 

and/or low water flow thru the pump.  If this happens you need to check water flow thru the filter and 

correct it if needed. This pump uses the water flow for cooling.  You may also want to run the pump at 

night when the temperature is lower.

Should you encounter any problems, contact the Customer Service Representative/Parts Department at (800) 813-0206 

from 8 AM to 5 PM Mon. thru Fri. EST.  Extended operating days and hours during peak season requirements.
