IMPORTANT!
Your filter pump is protected by a thermal switch. The switch senses the temperature of the filter pump. If it gets too hot, the switch will
stop the pump from running until it cools off. It will automatically turn back on when the filter pump has cooled down. This is a safety device to prevent
pump damage and prolong service life. If your pump is automatically turning off, it is because of high pool water temperature and/or low water flow
through the pump. If this happens you need to check the water flow and correct it if needed, as this filter pump uses the water flow for cooling. You
may also want to run the pump at night when the temperature is lower.
5. re-assemble in reverse order.
6. A spare “stand-by” Filter Cartridge
7
is an excellent investment. It provides a convenient way to continue filtration of your pool while cleaning or replacing a dirty
Filter Cartridge
7
. Also, a well-maintained, clean cartridge assures you that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.
7. Filter cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup

filter cartridges.
2. Basic Cleaning: Clean the filter cartridge thoroughly ressure washing
inside and out with a garden hose. Allow a few hours for the filter to
fully dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH the pleats (to avoid wear out, do
not scrub the pleated surface areas). Cleaning and scrubbing a filter
too vigorously will also wear out the cartridge much faster than if it is
simply hosed off correctly.
4. Excessive calcium and/or mineral deposits may build up on a filter cartridge
and should be handled differently. Contact your local pool supply store to
ask about additional filter cartridge cleaners or treatment for calcium or
mineral deposits. Check pool chemistry for high pH or alkalinity; this may
cause a calcium or mineral build-up.
3. To remove tough oils (e.g. suntan, body oils, algae, etc.) it is recom
mended to soak cartridge in a 1lb trisodium phosphate solution (or
any other strong detergent) to 5Ga water for up to 12hrs. Rinse
cartridge to remove dirt. To remove algae, add 1/2pint of pool chlorine
or 1 pint of liquid household bleacher to the cleaning solution, 1 hour
before retrieving the cartridge. Thoroughly rinse before usage on filter case.

2. Check filter pump output daily. If flow is reduced, see Symptom 2 in Section “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”.
3. Check filter pump, hoses, fitting for leaks. If a leak is found, see Symptom 4 in Section “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”.
