SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure you have access to water to fi ll the pool and chemicals for the water.
IMPORTANT: This fi lter pump is shipped with the air release valve (1) open (open the air release
valve if necessary). DO NOT replace the air release valve until you reach STEP #8. Failure to follow
these instructions will result in air trapped inside fi lter housing; the motor will run dry, be noisy and
malfunction.
1.
Assemble above-ground-pool fi rst. Carefully follow the pool’s installation instructions.
2.
Place the fi lter pump the length of the hose away from the pool wall where the lower black protruding
hose connection is "sticking-out".
3.
Insert the nozzle union
(13 & 10)
into the upper protruding hose connections, and then attach the pool
inlet air adaptor
(15)
to the upper protruding fi tting. Screw the air jet valve
(14)
over the pool inlet air
adaptor
(15).
Then insert the strainer union
(9 & 11)
into the lower protruding hose connections. The
hoses
(8)
fi t over the strainers inserted into the connections.
4.
There are two hoses to be connected to the fi lter pump hose connections. With hose clamps
(7)
, fasten
one of the hoses
(8)
to the lower protruding hose connection (marked "+" on the pool liner) and to the
upper pump connection (marked "+").
5.
Connect the second hose to the pool inlet air adaptor
(15)
and to the lower pump connection. Make sure
all the hose clamps
(7)
are tight.
NOTE:
Make sure the air jet valve
(14)
is securely tighten onto the pool
inlet air adaptor
(15)
and facing up.
6.
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded fi lter housing collar
(12)
from the fi lter housing.
Grasp and remove the housing cover
(3)
. Check to see if a cartridge is inside the housing. If yes, replace
the cover, fi nger tighten the housing collar
(12)
back onto the fi lter housing.
7.
Fill the pool to a level of at least 1-2 inches above the top connection. The water will automatically
fl ow down into the pump.
8.
When water starts fl owing out of the air release valve hole, screw in the air release valve back into the
fi lter housing cover. Do not over tighten the valve.
NOTE: Venting the system is necessary for air to
escape as the fi lter housing fi lls with water.
9.
Connect the fi lter pump to the power outlet and set the timer dial on the GFCI to the desired operating
hours. See the “Operating Time Table” section for the required operating hours related to each pool size.
Note:
If the End of Life (EOL) indicator on the GFCI plug is fl ashing, do not use the product. Disconnect
the product and have the GFCI plug replaced by a qualifi ed electrician before using.
10.
Operate the fi lter pump until the desired water clarity is obtained.
NOTE:
Never put pool chemicals directly into the fi lter pump. This may damage the pump and void the
warranty.
