SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure you have access to water to fill the pool and chemicals for the water.
IMPORTANT: This filter pump is shipped with the air release valve (1) open (open the air
release valve if necessary). DO NOT replace the air release valve until you reach STEP #8.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in air trapped inside filter housing; the motor
will run dry, be noisy and malfunction.
1.
Assemble above-ground-pool first. Carefully follow the pool’s installation instructions.
2.
Place the filter pump the length of the hose away from the pool wall where the lower black
protruding hose connection is "sticking-out".
3.
Insert the nozzle union
(9 & 10)
into the upper protruding hose connections. Then insert the
strainer union
(9 & 11)
into the lower protruding hose connections. The hoses
(8)
fit over the
strainers inserted into the connections.
4.
There are two hoses to be connected to the filter pump hose connections. With hose clamps
(7)
,
fasten one of the hoses
(8)
to the lower protruding hose connection (marked "+" on the pool
liner) and to the upper pump connection (marked "+").
5.
Connect the second hose to the remaining upper protruding hose connection and to the lower
pump connection. Make sure all the hose clamps
(7)
are tight.
6.
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded filter housing collar
(12)
from the filter
housing. Grasp and remove the threaded cover
(3)
. Check to see if a cartridge is inside the
housing. If yes, replace the cover, finger tighten the housing collar
(12)
back onto the filter
housing.
7.
Fill the pool to a level of at least 1-2 inches above the top connection. The water will
automatically flow down into the pump.
8.
When water starts flowing out of the air release valve hole, screw in the air release valve back
into the filter housing cover. Do not over tighten the valve.
NOTE: Venting the system is
necessary for air to escape as the filter housing fills with water.
9.
Connect the filter pump to the power outlet. The filter pump is now filtering the water.
10.
Operate the filter pump until the desired water clarity is obtained.
NOTE:
Never put pool chemicals directly into the filter pump. This may damage the pump
and void the warranty.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type
receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or
residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI/RCD. Use a
qualified electrician to install the GFCI/RCD, which has a maximum rate
of 30mA. Do not use a portable residual current device (PRCD).
