This document is the owner's manual for the Coleman 90401E Filter Pump. It provides essential information regarding the pump's function, safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and warranty.
Function Description:
The Coleman 90401E Filter Pump is designed to filter water for storable swimming pools, ensuring the water remains clean and sanitary. It circulates pool water through a filter cartridge, removing debris and impurities. The pump is not intended for use with permanently-installed pools.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model: 90401E
- Motor: Thermally protected motor, CSA Enclosure 3.
- Electrical Safety: Equipped with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) for protection against electric shock. Requires connection to a grounding type receptacle.
- Compatibility: For use with swimming pools only. Specifically designed for storable pools, which can be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled.
- Storage Temperature: 4-40 °C (39.2-104°F).
Usage Features:
- Installation: The pump must be mounted to a solid and level ground, in accordance with the installation instructions. Adequate ventilation, drainage, and access for cleaning should be ensured. It should not be placed in areas where water may accumulate or where foot traffic will flow around the pool.
- Connection: Connects to the pool using hoses. The manual illustrates the connection process with diagrams showing inlet and outlet hose connections.
- Air Purge Valve: Features an Air Purge Valve (P6112) on top of the filter pump. This valve is opened to release air as water fills the pump and closed once water comes out, indicating the pump is full.
- GFCI Test: The manual provides detailed instructions for testing the GFCI plug before each use. This involves pressing the "RESET" button (indicator turns red), then the "TEST" button (indicator turns off), and finally the "RESET" button again (indicator turns red, pump ready for use). If the indicator light does not behave as described, the GFCI is defective, and the pump should not be used.
- Dry Run Prevention: It is crucial to ensure that both the pool's inlet and outlet valves are fully covered by water before operating the filter pump to prevent dry running, which can damage the pump.
- Safety Precautions:
- Do not use the pump while people are inside the pool.
- Children must be closely supervised when near the product.
- Connect only to a grounding type receptacle.
- Do not use extension cords.
- Do not bury the power cord.
- If the power cord is damaged, the pump must be discarded.
- The pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet, and portable appliances no closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool.
- Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
- Do not remove the grounding prong or modify the plug.
- Ensure hands are completely dry when plugging in the filter pump.
- The pump is not intended to be bonded to the equipotential bonding grid.
- Environmental Considerations: Atmospheric conditions (cold, heat, sun exposure) can affect the pump's performance and lifespan. Sheltering the pump whenever possible is recommended.
Maintenance Features:
- Daily Filter Cartridge Cleaning: The filter cartridge must be cleaned daily to ensure optimal pump performance and clean pool water. The manual advises opening the top valve to let air out and then closing it before using the pump each day.
- Filter Cartridge Replacement: For sanitary reasons, it is suggested to replace the filter cartridge with a new one every two weeks, or sooner if it remains soiled or discolored after cleaning.
- Cleaning Procedure:
- Unplug the filter pump.
- Stop water flow to the filter pump (refer to the pool's manual).
- Unscrew the Filter Cap Retainer and remove the Filter Cap.
- Clean the Filter Cartridge with a garden hose.
- Insert the cleaned or new Filter Cartridge, ensuring it is centered.
- Check that the Filter Cap Seal is in place.
- Replace the Filter Cap and screw the Filter Cap Retainer into position.
- Open the pool valves (A and B).
- Prepare the system for use by following the pump installation directions.
- Storage:
- Unplug the filter pump.
- Stop water flow and remove the filter cartridge.
- Discard the used filter cartridge.
- Detach all hoses.
- Dry all components thoroughly.
- Store the filter pump in a dry location, out of reach of children, at a temperature between 4-40 °C (39.2-104°F).
- Drain the pool according to the pool owner's manual.
- Chemicals: Do not add chemicals directly into the filter pump.
- Replacement Parts: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts to ensure continued protection against shock hazard.
- Troubleshooting: If the GFCI fails to operate correctly, or if the pump interrupts power without the test button being pushed, indicating a ground current, do not use the pump. Disconnect it and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative.
- Warranty: Information regarding pump warranty can be found on the bestwaycorp.com website.
- Customer Support: For questions, defective parts, or warranty claims, users are directed to visit bestwaycorp.com/support instead of returning the item to the store.
