IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Important Safety Instructions
WARNING – READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow safety and operation instructions can result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION – To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely
supervise children at all times. The ANSI/NSPI-4 Standard (above-ground and on-ground pools) advises that
components such as the ltration system, pumps, and heaters be positioned to prevent their being used as a
means of access to the pool by young children.
WARNING – COMPONENT SEPARATION HAZARD
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and
possibly after pump shut off. Pressure in system can cause explosive component separation of the upper lter
body if safety and operation instructions are not followed. Severe personal injury or death can result.
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualied pool professional.
