imPORtant
Requires 125 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 .
