Care and maintenance of the pump
• Let the pump run for four to six hours a day, but never when people are using the pool.
• Do not let the pump run for too long, especially on very hot days, since it may
overheat and suffer damage.
• The pump does not need lubrication or any other maintenance.
• Always unplug the power lead of the pump from the wall socket
before doing any work on the pump.
• Use nothing but a slightly damp cloth to clean the outside of the pump.
Never use solvents or corrosive chemicals.
• When the pump is not in use, store it in a warm, dry place, first making sure
that all parts are completely dry.
Changing the pump filter
How often the pump filter needs cleaning or changing depends on how may people
use the pool and how often they do so. As a rule of thumb, the filter should be
cleaned/changed every three weeks.
1. Unplug the power lead of the pump from the wall socket.
2. Remove the strainers from the pump inlet and outlet and fit the plugs.
3. Turn the air vent screw on the top of the pump anticlockwise to release
any pressure in the pump.
4. Remove the top of the pump (turn it anticlockwise) and take out the filter.
5. Rinse the filter with water. If you cannot get it clean, fit a new filter.
6. Refit the cleaned or new filter and screw the top on to the pump (turning it clockwise).
7. Take out the plugs, fit the strainers, let the pump and hoses fill with water and vent
the pump.
Emptying, dismantling and storage
1. Unplug the power lead of the filter pump from the wall socket.
2. Check that the drain nozzle is properly fitted to the side of the pool.
3. Connect a garden hose to the adapter and make sure that the other end of
the hose is lower than the pool so that it can drain completely. Check also that
the water from the pool can run off safely.
4. Fit the supplied plugs to the pump hose inlet and outlet on the inside of
the pool and detach the hoses.
5. Fit the adapter to the drain valve by turning it clockwise.
6. Open the drain plug on the inside of the pool so that water starts to drain off.
7. When the pool is empty, remove the adapter.
8. Refit the drain plug inside the pool.
9. Make sure that the pool is completely dry before folding it up for storage.
The smallest amount of moisture may cause mould.
Tip:
The pool is easier
to fold if you leave it in the sun for a few hours before you install it. This makes
the material of the pool softer and more pliable.
10. When the pool is thoroughly dry and folded, it must be stored wrapped in
a groundsheet, tarpaulin or similar.
11. Store the pool and all its accessories indoors, in a warm, dry place.
