USE OF PUMP
IMPORTANT!
Your filter pump is protected by a thermal switch. The switch senses the temperature of the filter pump. If it gets too hot, the switch will stop the
pump from running until it cools off. This is a safety device to prevent pump damage and prolong service life. 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 the water flow and correct it if needed, as this filter pump uses the
water flow for cooling. It is recommended that you run the pump at night or early morning when the temperature is lower to prevent overheating.
PUMP MOTOR CARE
1. Turn off and unplug the Pump. Remove the RF Diverter

from the
Return Fitting

2. To depressurize the Filter Pump system, vent the filter pump by twisting
the Vent Screw
e
counter-clockwise.
3. Use both hands to twist off the Seal Top
t
by turning counter-clockwise.
Remove the Filter Cartridge

.
4. The filter cartridge can be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris by
thoroughly pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose,
making sure to wash between all pleats. Allow a few hours for
the filter to fully dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH the pleats to
avoid damaging the filter cartridge. DO NOT scrub the pleated
surface areas. Cleaning and scrubbing a filter too vigorously will
wear out the cartridge much faster than if it is simply
hosed off correctly.
To ensure pool water stays clean,please clean the filter cartridge
every day and change when required.

2. To turn on the Pump, press the RESET button of the GFCI Plug.
3. From inside the pool, check if the water flow from the RF Diverter

is correct. It should feel like a solid stream of water
returning to the pool. If not, or if you feel a reduction in flow, clean or replace the Filter Cartridge

below as well as Symptom 2 of
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (p. 14).
4. To turn the Pump off, press the TEST button of the GFCI Plug, and unplug it from the power outlet.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Check and adjust the pH and chlorine levels daily.
FILTER PUMP 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. For details, see
