WARNING
-
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
• Risk of electrical shock, connect only to a grounding type receptacle.
• Receptacle must be at least 10 feet away from pool.
• Filter system can be used as many hours as desired, but
NEVER
when the
pool is occupied.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a
properly located outlet.
• Do not bury the cord.
NOTE
- The Power Filter will be in four sections: a pump; filter assembly;
hardware bag; and return hose.
IMPORTANT!
- Install the Power Filter following these instructions before filling your Pool .
A. First, Locate the filter assembly, remove the Lock Top (11), Strainer Basket (10), and Filter Cartridge (9) from the
assembled Filter Case leaving just the Skimmer Canister (8). Next locate the Gaskets (22), Face Plate (23) and
the other parts as shown in FIG. 1 page 3. Now locate the Hex Head Screws (26) and the combination wrench
keeping them conveniently close by. Next locate the mounting location for the power filter on the interior Pool
Wall (25). Insert the Face Plate (23) into the Pool Wall Pocket (24) with
the rib surface facing towards the inside of the pool, refer to FIG.1 page
3. Align Face Plate with the opening in Pool Wall. Place one Gasket
(22) between the Face Plate and Pool Wall and align properly. Place
the remaining Gasket (22) over the four alignment pins on the Skim-
mer Canister (8) and place it up to the opening on the outside Pool Wall
inserting the four alignment pins through the four large holes in Pool
Wall, Gaskets, and into Faceplate see FIG.1 page 3. Place the twelve
Hex Head Screws (26) into their holes. Start all the Hex Head Screws
one and a half turns each. Then proceed in tightening them in equal turns
each in sequence around the Face Plate until all are equally tight and you
have a good even seal.
Warning!
Be sure not to over tighten them, you
just need a water tight seal.
B. Now lubricate the pump O-ring (5) liberally with petroleum jelly (not provided). Hold the Skimmer Canister (8)
securely, and insert pump assembly (1-6) so that the outlet on the Volute Housing (4) points out to the side of the
canister as shown in Fig. 3. Insert the pump until it bottoms out, and the two ribs on the volute housing insert into
the two slots on the bottom of the canister, see FIG. 2. Reach down inside the canister and place the Pump Retain-
ing Nut (7) over the top of the volute housing inlet as shown in Fig. 2. Twist the Nut (7) clockwise until it is snug.
C. Locate the Pool Wall Fitting assembly parts (15-21). Lubricate the black Wall Fitting Gasket (16) liberally with
petroleum jelly and install it over the threads on the Pool Wall Fitting (15). Insert the pool wall fitting with the
gasket through the hole in the wall from the inside of the pool. Place the Thrust Washer (17) over the pool wall
fitting and then thread the Wall Fitting Nut (18) onto the fitting until it is hand tight. DO NOT over tighten the
wall fitting nut or wrinkle the pool wall around the Wall Fitting Thrust Washer (17) or Wall Fitting Gasket (16).
Now apply some petroleum jelly to the threads of the Elbow 90° (19) and install the elbow into the wall fitting as-
sembly as shown in FIG. 1 page #3. Install the Diverter Fitting (20) and Locking Ring (21) onto the wall fitting,
see page 7 “Diverter Fitting Use” for further information on it’s use.
