C. Locate the Pool Wall Fitting assembly parts (15-21). Lubricate the black Wall Fitting
Gasket (16) 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 thread of the Elbow 90° (19) and install
the elbow into the wall fitting assembly. Install the Diverter Fitting (20) and
Locking Ring (21) onto the wall fitting.
D. Get the Return Hose (13) and remove the two Hose Clamps (14) from
the hardware bag. Loosen the hose clamps and slide them over the end of the hose. It is recommended to
lubricate the O-Rings (12) on the Volute Housing and on the Elbow (19) before installing the hose (13). Install the
hose on the pump volute housing and on the Elbow (19). Tighten both of the Hose Clamps (14). See Fig. 3.
E. Place the Filter Cartridge (9) and the Strainer Basket (10) back into the Skimmer
Canister (8). It is important that the Filter Cartridge (9) slips over the Pump
Retaining Nut (7) and seals at the bottom of the canister so that the Strainer
Basket (10) will seat in it’s groove inside the canister. See Fig. 4. Place the Lock
Top (11) on top of the Skimmer Canister (8) and lock it in place by turning it
clockwise until it is locked. Push the Weir Foam Pad (25) into the Weir (26) and
under the tabs, to hold it in place. Take the Weir (26) and slide it into the grooves
from inside the pool. See Fig. 4. Once the weir is pushed inside the grooves, flip it
over as shown by the Arrow #2 in Fig. 4, to lock it in place. NOTE: The weir can
ONLY be pushed into the grooves as shown by Arrows #1 in Fig. 4, by holding it
horizontal. Be sure the weir moves freely through the opening, if not carefully
trim away any obstructing material to allow the weir to move freely.
F. After the pool is filled (
refer to
water level in FIG. 4), check the hose connections and fittings to make sure there is
no water leakage. If any leaks are found, see #4 in the Trouble Shooting guide on page #6.
A. First, Locate the filter assembly, remove the Lock Top (11), Strainer
Basket (10), and Filter Cartridge (9) from the assembled Filter Case.
Locate the mounting location for the power filter on the Pool
Wall (30). Install one Gasket (22) over the four alignment pins
on the skimmer canister (8) and place it up to the outside pool
wall inserting the four alignment pins through the four large
holes in pool wall. Now leaning against the Skimmer to hold it
in place add the inside gasket (22) over the pins on the inside
of the pool wall. Now place the Face Plate (23) over the
alignment pins. NOTE: An extra
gasket
is included for your
convenience. Place the Hex Head Screws (24) into the 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 with petroleum jelly (not provided). Hold the Skimmer Canister (8) securely, and
insert motor pump so that the outlet on the volute housing extends out of the opening in the side of the filter
case as shown in Fig. 2. Insert the motor pump until the two ribs on the inlet of the volute housing protrude
through the bottom of the filter case. Reach down inside the canister and place the Pump Retaining Nut (7) over
the top of the volute housing inlet as shown in Fig. 2. Twist the Nut (7) clockwise until it is snug.

2 PUMP OPERATION
IMPORTANT: PRESS “RESET” BUTTON ON THE GFCI PLUG TO START BEFORE USING.
IMPORTANT: FILTER CARTRIDGE MUST BE FIRMLY SEATED OVER THE PUMP INTAKE PORT TO
FILTER THE POOL WATER EFFICIENTLY.
NOTE: ONLY FILTER CARTRIDGES WITH A 1-3/4” INCH DIAMETER HOLE WILL WORK
PROPERLY. ANY OTHER SIZE HOLE WILL PREVENT PROPER FILTRATION. THE CARTRIDGE
MUST SEAL TIGHTLY AROUND BOTH ENDS.
A. Plug the GFCI power cord of the filter assembly into a properly grounded receptacle,
located at least 10 feet away from the pool.
B. Press the RESET Button to Start the Pump.
C. Check the return fitting on the inside of the pool for correct flow, it should feel like a solid
stream of water returning to the pool. You can use the return flow as a gauge to determine
when the filter needs cleaning and/or replacement. If you feel a reduction in flow, clean
and/or replace filter.
D. Test water and adjust as needed, see “POOL WATER CARE”, page #5. VERY IMPORTANT – PUMP AND FILTER
ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY
MAINTAINING PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES!
E. The filter may need to be cleaned and/or replaced several times at start up until the correct chlorine and pH
levels are attained. We recommend that you keep at least one spare cartridge on hand at all times. Filter
cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup.
F. There is a Drain Cap (#27) and Seal Gasket (#28) at the bottom of the Filter Canister (#8) to allow you to drain off
sediment and debris at the bottom of the canister. Place them back on and hand tighten only after allowing
them to drain off a little water to flush the canister bottom out.

How to use the GFCI plug:
*Do not connect
to a timer device
IMPORTANT!
Your pump is protected by a thermal overload. This device senses the temperature of the pump
and if it is getting too hot, it will open the electric circuit and the pump will stop running until it cools off. It will
automatically turn back on when it has cooled down. This is a safety device to help prevent excessive pump
damage. If your pump is automatically turning off, it is because of high pool water temperature and/or low water
flow through the pump. If this happens you need to check water flow through the filter and correct it if needed
as this pump uses the water flow for cooling. You may also want to run the pump at night when the temperature
is lower.
