CONNECTING THE FILTER SYSTEM
STOP: BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO CONNECT HOSES TO THE FILTER AND PUMP, MAKE
CERTAIN THAT NO WATER CAN FLOW THROUGH THE INTAKE OR RETURN HOSES
CONNECTED TO THE POOL. SOME POOLS HAVE SHUT OFF VALVES IN THEIR IN-
TAKE AND RETURN PORTS, OTHERS DO NOT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SHUT OFF
VALVE, BLOCK THE PORTS WITH A REMOVABLE PLUG TO PREVENT WATER FROM
PASSING INTO AND THROUGH THE HOSES.
NOTE
For Pools with 1¼" or 1½" (32mm or 38mm) Diameter Unthreaded
Hoses use the standard adapters.
For Pools with 2¼" (57mm) Diameter Threaded Hose Connectors
use the threaded adapters for Intex® pools.
These instructions assume that the pool is already assembled with hoses attached to the water intake and return
ports on the pool.
1. Attach a hose connector to the front of the strainer housing and the valve POOL port.
Make certain that the 1½” (38mm) dia o-ring is in the adapter before securing.
2. Attach the pool outlet hose to the hose connector on the strainer housing. Refer to
your pool manual if you are unsure about the inlet/outlet hoses. Secure hose with a
hose clamp or thread onto the adapter.
3. Attach the pool return hose (inlet of pool) to the POOL port adapter on the 4 way
valve. Secure hose with a hose clamp or thread onto the adapter.
Note: Be sure not to secure the return hose to the waste/backwash port.
4. Completed Filter-Pump Installation.
IMPORTANT: Ensure ALL hose connections are tight and the hoses are NOT
kinked or bent at severe angles. If the hoses are leaking, check to make sure
ALL of the parts with o-rings have them attached and are screwed on tightly.
DO NOT overtighten hose clamps (35 in/lb max torque).
CAUTION: DO NOT POWER PUMP AT THIS POINT.
