IMPORTANT:
The recommended method to troubleshoot or replace the pump is to remove the entire filtration system. Please drain enough water from the
pool so that the water level is below the skimmer opening. Then remove the entire skimmer system following steps 1 - 6 above.
REMEMBER TO KEEP ALL PARTS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR REASSEMBLY LATER.
CAUTION:
If you prefer to leave the skimmer filtration system attached to the pool we recommend having two people available to follow the process below.
PLEASE NOTE: The incorrect handling method may cause damage resulting in water leakage between the canister and liner wall.
